Since the other 3 Concept Eyes Highlighter  I reviewed before didn’t wow me, I didn’t go into this review with the highest of hopes. From the pictures I had seen online, 3 Concept Eyes Marble Highlighter looked a lot like one of my favourite products, Mac Minerlized Skinfinish. That was enough to pique my curiosity and let me go ahead and try this one out in good faith. As I’ve mentioned before, 3CE brand is something akin to MAC cosmetics in it’s branding. It definitely has a more limited range than MAC, but kind of targets the same demographic. The price point is lower than MAC, but also a little higher than some of it’s Korean peers. This comes in only one shade, Bling Peach.

That is basically how it looks when worn alone. I’m not sure if my skintone is the culprit or what, but I just couldn’t grab a great picture. It’s devoid of any chunky glitter (thank you Yeezus) and applies very smoothly and nice. It gives a nicer sheen than shown in the picture but is nowhere near as lovely as shown on the Style Nanda website (how utterly gorgeous is that model? Park Sora, slay). I can say though that when I pair this with blushes and bronzers it really sets them off nice. This is what I wish the pervious Highlighter I reviewed was like. It performs much better than that one, but not well enough to wear alone like the Skinfinshes. I do have to say though, I reach for this a lot more than I thought I would. I’m always happy when a product calls for me like that. This is good for casual daytime looks. I can’t be without my beloved glow, but shining like a superstar isn’t always appropriate, so this is a nice compromise for those times.

I think the 3 Concept Eyes Marble Highlighter deserves 3.5 out of 5 turtles.

I am an addict. There I said it. I am an addict and my drug of choice is highlighters.  Really any glow products. I cannot pass up a highlighter, it is a serious problem. I remember about three years ago waiting backstage to meet Nicki Minaj and just furiously brushing Mac’s Mineralized Skinfinish in Shimpagne all over my cheeks to help compose myself (it worked and she ended up heavily complimenting my makeup to boot!). So the moral of the story is, highlighters are magical and everyone needs at least one good one.

3 Concept Eyes is a brand I’ve had my eye (my concept eye?) on for awhile now. Their minimalistic black and white packaging is so exactly my aesthetic that it just screams for me to buy it. I think the rest of North America might be catching on because I noticed they’re selling 3 Concept Eyes online at Urban Outfitters now.

This highlighter comes in a slim mirrored compact. It includes a small flat brush hidden away in a bottom compartment. It’s pretty great packaging design! I am kind of enamored with it. The product itself is a powder with small shimmery particles. I chose the shade Beige but it’s also available in Gold Pink.
