Product details

SHOPAAREL Luminous-2 is a 14-shade palette that combines eyeshadow and highlighter. With a name built around glow, it suits people who want radiant eyes and lit-up cheekbones from one compact case, without carrying a separate highlighter.

Luminous-2 belongs to SHOPAAREL's range of combined eye and face palettes. The title is short and clear: eyeshadow and highlighter in one palette, with 14 shades in total. It does not specify how many are highlighters or what finishes the eyeshadows have, so look at the listing images for the layout and swatches.

Fourteen shades is a manageable number, and that is a real advantage. It is large enough to build a complete eye look with a transition, a lid colour and a deeper shade, and still leave room for highlighting the face. At the same time, it is small enough that most of the shades will actually be used, which often is not the case with palettes of 60 or more colours.

The word Luminous points to glow, which tends to suit festive Indian makeup. A soft champagne or gold highlight on the cheekbones, a touch on the cupid's bow and a gleam at the inner corner of the eyes can make the whole face look fresher in photos. For daytime, a light hand is key: a single sweep on the high points of the face is plenty, especially in strong sunlight.

If you have oily or combination skin, which is common in humid parts of India, set your foundation with powder before applying highlighter, and keep it off the sides of the nose and the forehead. For dry skin, especially during north Indian winters, prepping with a hydrating moisturiser helps highlighter look smooth rather than settling into texture.

Listed around ₹6,838 at the time of writing (MRP ₹7,999), Luminous-2 sits at the premium end of SHOPAAREL's range. The '-2' suggests there may be other versions in the series, and the brand sells several palettes with similar names, so check you are ordering the exact one you want by comparing images. If you already own a much-loved highlighter, an eye-only palette could be a better spend.

Patch test new products before regular use. Keep shimmer and highlight shades out of the waterline, use separate clean brushes for face and eyes, and remove all makeup thoroughly at night. Stop using the palette if you notice redness, itching or small bumps where you applied it.
