KKW Beauty's Ultra Light Beam Gloss & Highlight Aren't Sold Separately, But You Definitely Need Both
For a brand that hasn't even been on the market for six months, KKW Beauty sure is giving every other cosmetics company a good run for their money. Yet another juicy product launch is on the way with the newly announced Ultra Light Beam Collection, giving beauty lovers plenty of reasons to throw their monies at socialite turned makeup mogul, Kim Kardashian West.
If it wasn't obvious before, the beauty sphere's latest fascination with all things iridescent and super shimmery hasn't died yet. Here to take the trend up several notches, Kim K is expanding her line of highly-coveted products with the prettiest lip glosses and coordinating highlights. Within the new collection, you'll find five glittery glosses and five shimmery pigments in the most stunning bronze, gold, and silver tones. The glosses are so damn gorgeous and the highlighting powders are even glitzier, so you're guaranteed to find something to suit your fancy.
Chances are you'll crave everything the collection has to offer. But if a single product catches your eye, unfortunately, you won't be able to purchase your favorites on their own. The lippies and highlighters are strictly sold as duos.
"I felt like I wanted something glitzy for the holidays and if I was going to venture off into something, I thought a glitzy lip and eye would be exactly what I would want," Kardashian tells Bustle.
Thus, Kim K's complimenting duos were born. For $32 a pop, you can get your claws on your favorite ultra-glitter gloss of the bunch and its matching Ultra Light Beam powder. The duos launch on Dec. 1.
Worn alone, this high-shine gloss gives your pout the prettiest sheen. But feel free to top it over your go-to lipstick to glam up its formula.
As your newest secret to a blinding glow, KKW's loose powder enhances your cheekbones, cupid's bow, or anywhere else you'd like to highlight for a next-level shimmer. Just keep in mind that they're not limited as highlighting powders. Sweep them over your body, layer them with the Ultra Light Beam Glosses or transform the pigments into high metallic shadows by combining them with water or mixing medium.
The possibilities are seriously limitless when it comes to these high-impact duos. Available in the best golden hues, here's a closeup of every duo hitting virtual shelves soon.
An opalescent pearl, the Iridescent duo delivers a frosty shimmer that's perfect for holiday season.
A traditional gold, the Yellow Gold duo can be your go-to for the gilded looks of your dreams.
For a dainty glow, look to the Rose Gold gloss and pigment to completely transform your facade.
There's no denying that the Bronze duo will take your beauty beat to the next level. It's one of Kim K's personal faves from the collection, so you know it's a winner.
"The iridescent is really pretty, especially with my lighter hair, but I really love the bronze and the gold," Kardashian shares with Bustle. "I love making the highlighters wet and then applying it. It makes it really intense."
Rosy, but rustic, the Copper Ultra Light Beam set gives off the prettiest sunset vibes. But you really can't go wrong any of the duos.
So, there you have it. It may not be possible to buy the highlighters or glosses on their own, but it's so worth it to have the pair. Getting a lippie and a spot-on highlighter to match takes the guesswork out of coordinating your hues for a look, too.
As bomb.com as Kardashian's new goodies are, you'll probably want the entire line anyways. Luckily, you'll have the option to purchase the Collector's Edition Set that includes all of the Ultra Light Beam Duos for $160 on Dec. 1.
Fighting off the urge to blow your paycheck on all of this shimmery goodness is going to be damn near impossible. Sigh.
