How Many Carats?! By FENTY Beauty has been trending ALL over the internet for it’s striking glistening appearance. This product promises to deliver a diamond-like sparkle to your skin that will leave you feeling like a million bucks! I decided to write an in-depth blog post ALL about this highlighter, we’ll take a closer look at FENTY’s “How Many Carats?!” highlighter to see if it’s worth adding to your makeup collection.
My Thoughts
I’ll get straight to it, I’ve had How Many Carats?! for about 2 years and it’s just too good, I can’t get enough! For those of you that love subtle and even bold eyeshadow, it will work. There are many ways to use this, and I’ll go over those later in this blog post.
The reason I love this eyeshadow so much is that it’s versatile and works with any outfit. When you’re inside it’s not as noticeable, once you step outside it presents itself much more. I’d describe it as “glistening water.” It looks exactly like that!
Swatches
Here are the swatches and what looks like on my eye.
Benefits:
Long Lasting: The formula is like glue, I’m not joking. It’s insane the amount of time it holds up! Rihanna reallyyyy did something when it comes to the formula. I wore this to homecoming and it was still there and in place at the end of the night.
Easy To Use: Swipe and you’re done, that simple. I use this every day and it’s my favorite because you don’t have to blend or worry about the fallout. The formula is very interesting, it sticks to where it’s applied and won’t get everywhere.
Any Outfit: I know I mentioned this above, but it literally goes with anything! I personally love knowing that I have one eyeshadow that goes with anything. Wear it alone or dress it up with some eyeliner, either way you’ll look good.
It will last YEARS: I’ve used this basically every day for the past year and a half and it’s nowhere near done. I have the mini size!
Different Use Ideas
Since How Many Carats?! Is a versatile product, and I thought I’d share some fun ways to play around with it to get the most from it.
How Many Carats?! with concealer: For a natural eyeshadow look pop some concealer on your eye, and blend it out. Then using either your finger or a brush swipe some on your eyes. Curl lashes and you’re done! To give it a pop I apply some Kajal, this is my blog post where I go more in-depth on this look.
Lipstick: If you’ve been on TikTok you’ve probably seen the trend of glittery lipstick, and this is the product to semi-achieve that! Since lipstick is matte this gives it a striking finish. After applying your lipstick blot some of the How Many Carats?! Onto your lips with your finger or a brush.
Body Shine: For those of you that love body glitter this works as one too! I’ve seen on TikTok how some people will use those brushes for body makeup and pop some of this product on their collarbones and neck for an extra pop.
Dark eyeshadow W/ How Many Carats?!: This is sooo pretty! Grab your fav dark matte eyeshadow and blend it out. For that stunning glistening finish blot some of this over it. Especially at night when you’re out, you’ll look fab.
Matte Colored eyeshadow W/ How Many Carats?!: This has the same concept as the one above but it’s especially helpful when you have a colored eyeshadow and want to add a pop to it. Blot some How Many Carats?! On top of colored eyeshadow blot some How Many Carats?!
