In today's edition of 'Are they dupes?' Ill be taking another look at a recently reviewed highlighter and comparing it against a highly rated one, that is no longer available...
I reviewed Maybelline's Molten Gold Chrome Extreme highlighter a short while ago and mentioned that I thought it had the same look as last year's Anastasia Beverley Hills limited edition Amezy highlighter. Well I thought that I'd make a comparison post today, to see how right (or wrong) my past judgement call really was...Going of my initial swatch comparison, no, the shades are not dupes; Molten Gold is a bit more outright gold in comparison to Amrezy, which is more of a champagne gold.
Once applied on the skin I fail to see any difference between the two highlights in natural lighting. When I looked through tons of flash photos, I could instantly see that the Maybelline highlighter is still a bit more yellow in tone, so the two highlights are not complete dupes, but even in those intense lighting conditions the shades are very similar.
Whilst the shades aren't 100% matches in all lighting conditions, the formulas are total dupes; pearly and smooth, not glittery and gritty. They both wear perfectly all day, with barely any fading.
Maybelline's Chrome Extreme highlighters are £8.99, and are available in Boots, Superdrug and some supermarkets & independent chemists that stock Maybelline.
The ABH Amrezy highlighter is no longer available, although as ABH has just released a new Amrezy eyeshadow palette I don't think that another release of the highlighter is out of the question...
