Hello friends
And welcome to another video
Today, I'm going to be trying out an anti-highlighter
Now I say anti-highlighter because that is what it has been called by many many articles
Articles have been calling it the anti-highlighter that matches your cold dark soul
A new black highlighter that matches your cold dark soul
So this is the product that everyone has been talking about
So it is an inner glow creme pigment in the colour eclipse
by Rituelle de fille
I don't know why I went like, kind of Italian-esque at the end
It's a French name, I'm pretty sure
I took Spanish throughout school
So like I don't know how to pronounce any of the cosmetic names that are in French
They just all go over my head
According to Google, this is how you actually say it
So I was completely wrong
People kept using the word highlighter to describe this product
This black cream highlighter is the perfect product for makeup wearers who don't like shimmer
But what about your black highlighter
The black highlighter of your goth dreams
So I'm going to try to use this in the way I would use my normal highlighter
There are also instructions on the brands websites
As to recommendations of how to actually use it so I'm going to actually try their directions afterward
I just want to see why everyone was calling it a highlighter
I'm being incredibly extra and wearing my choker from Halloween
My Morticia Addams choker
Because I felt like if they were bringing the darkness
I wanted to also bring the darkness
Also bringing the darkness here today are my string lights
There's one string that's just out
I am very sad about it, but cleary they dressed for the occasion
Cause there's less light in here then usual
Alright here we go, oooooo
On my finger it looks like a really dark purple gloss
I'm going to put it on my arm
On camera it looks kind of brown-ish
It also looks like a bruise
So when I usually put highlighter on I usually put highlighter on like a little bit right here
Sometimes a dab on the nose
Almost always under my brow bone
and then definitely right here on the cheek bone
So I'm going to start with like under my brow bone
the funny thing is, at first when i put it on
it looks just like- ssss
like soot.
and then as i rub it in, it almost disappears
is it giving me a highlighted effect?
.......
no
but if i blend it out a little bit,
its like OH!
i don't really know what thats about but-
on the side
that i blended it out
it is kinda like a shadowy....
its kinda Morticia-esque
But it looks kind of good under my brow bone.
Putting it somewhere you would put highlighter
you could wear it there— I think
I don't think it looks crazy
So next up I'm going to put it
on my cheekbone. Mrrp!
Clearly that didn't work out for me
it's just like a skid mark
it's a dark, demony skid mark
glowin'
after a few bounces it's kind of becoming something
I don't know that it even looks like witchy and fun
I think it kinda just looks like I smudged something
there is a glossiness to it
so it does kind of reflect a little bit if i just move my head around like this forever
I'm gonna do it on the other side too just so we can have a full face
full face of anti-highlight
this side actually look a little bit better
but both sides at the ends it's getting stuck in my little cheek hairs
I look like Dick Van Dyke from Mary Poppins
just dancing on a roof in London
ok so the next place I would put highlighter would be my nose
the tip of my nose like this
that just made me look like a cat or reindeer
like a very very uncommitted Halloween constume
I'm a mouse, duh
the thing is that I am into it on my eyes like I actually do like it there
and then we got down to the middle of the face and it was just like *questioning look*
where it's used as a highlighter right now it doesn't really make any sense
the last place I would put highlight is like right in my cupid's bow
so...let's put some right there
yeah it kind of just looks like I shaved my moustache but forgot the cupid's bow (like a baby man going through puberty)
and that's not necessarily the look I'm going for so I don't know about that one you guys
to be fair Rituel de Fille didn't call it the anti-highlighter they're just like this is just a cool cream pigment
that you can use and people were just like "aha! an anti-highlighter"
they say that eclipse is a black blush, contour, cream eye shadow and lipstick
so that's what it's supposed to be
I guess by anti-highlight you maybe could mean that it's supposed to be literally everything except the highlight
but, that was not clear
ok so I'm gonna start with the eye shadow. I'm just going in with my finger
That's kinda cool
alright so this is what it looks like as an eye shadow, I do have eye shadow primer on under here
it does have that kind of weird sister vibe to it
they say you can use it as blush and contour so I don't really know what else to use with this for contour except for my fingers
and then I'll blend it out with a beauty blender
oh, those are not even on both sides
oops, nyehhh whatever
I'm gonna use my beauty blender and just try and actually it kind of works
ok this side I'm doing a worse job on how is that- my left side is struggling today you guys
I didn't execute this that well but this is like the Maleficent look
this is the dark look they were talking about
and it's kinda cool I don't this it's like an everyday look but it could be an every night look
*strange noises*
alright let's see what we can do with the cheek with the- with the blush
did I ruin it already?
ok I'm not sure about this one. I guess if you put it on like super, super sheer you can just get the purple out of it
but this time the left side did way better I don't know, what do I do to my right side now?
I don't know if I would use it as blush but like I think I understand it a little bit more than just like the highlight right here
so the last thing it says it can do is be a lipstick I've been wanting to put this on my lips not on my cupid's bow
like a little red butler moustache but on ma lips
hhhhhOoo hoo hOo!
hoo h ho-
yeeesss
I had to work it into my water line to make sure the butt hole was covered
it's covered a little bit better now, it's a really interesting blotted look. I'm into it
It is kind of moving around my lips so I'm tryna put it back on so it doesn't go anywhere
does this make sense as a lip colour? Yeah I like this as a lip colour
in fact as I'm looking at everything like the blush has kind of settled in a little bit more it kinda makes sense
so I think that like you can use this for things it says you can use it for
is this thing a black highlighter? In my opinion, no.
Um, is this thing the anti-highlighter? Only in that like a product that is not highlighter could be anti-highlighter
I actually think that referring to this as a highlighter is pretty confusing
Of course calling it the anti-highlighter could be getting more people to talk about it
but if you're talking about it and titling it in a headline in a way that's just confusing
the buzz might be working against it. Cause I think it's kind of a cool product that has a cool effect
But an anti-highlighter, it is not
