Lottie London Shimmer Squad in Glowburst, 4 Shade Compact Highlighting Palette
Our editorial score, out of 10
“The best-value item in the range on a per-shade basis, and a genuinely sensible travel buy.”
At a glance
Our verdict
Four highlight shades in one slim compact covers champagne, pearl, rose and gold — enough range to take you from fair to deep skin, or from daytime sheen to full glow. The shades can be worn alone or swirled together, and they double as a soft eyeshadow wash. Pigment payoff is strong but the particles are fine, so it reads as light rather than glitter. Great travel value for the price.
What stands out
- Four highlight shades in one slim compact — enough range to cover fair through deep skin, or daytime sheen through full evening glow.
- Shades can be swirled to create custom tones rather than being locked into four fixed options.
- Doubles as eyeshadow — each shade works as a soft wash on the lid, which is what makes it a genuine travel palette.
Pros and cons
✓ Pros
- Excellent value per shade
- Fine particles read as light, not glitter
- Slim enough for a travel kit
- Covers a wide tone range in one purchase
✗ Cons
- Powder format is less seamless than the Diamond Bounce jelly
- Some fallout with a heavily loaded brush
How to use it
Tap the brush off before applying. Use champagne and pearl for fair skin, rose and gold for medium to deep. Swirl two together for a custom tone.
Who should skip it
Anyone who prefers a single perfected shade to a palette of options — the Diamond Bounce highlighters are more refined.
The bottom line
The best-value item in the range on a per-shade basis, and a genuinely sensible travel buy.
