You know, I had originally written off the Aurora Glow Kit because I didn't think it would be wearable enough as a whole to justify the price, the same way I had written off the Moonchild Glow Kit. But then I finally swatched them in store and ate my words. Because most of the shades have duochrome shifts, they actually look very different on the skin. Not only does Aurora have a better variety of cool and warm shades than Moonchild, but this is also far more flattering on all skintones. The only shade I see being challenging to incorporate into looks as a highlighter is Orion because sky blue is tougher to wear in general, but I do think that it looks especially gorgeous layered with Helia or Luna to give it a starlit beaming effect. And I think many people will think Spectra looks too ashy and grey to suit many skintones, but it actually gives off an incredible lilac-pink duochrome sheen that looks absolutely stunning when it hits the light (I especially love it buffed on top of pink blushes). Of course, Aurora has the same beautifully smooth, ultra-pigmented formula that the ABH Glow Kits are known for, so they execute evenly with great colour pay-off and blend out effortlessly. But what sets this apart from ABH's previous highlighter palettes is the unique shade range and shifting duochrome finish that look magical no matter the colour combination — much like the auroras themselves.
