Perfect for spring!

Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
These two colors really compliment each other. I like to use the lighter of the two as a highlighter. The brown can be used as a really nice eye shadow. I love that both colors are subtle and not too shimmery.

Quick Take: soft shimmer, luminating
My local Sephora stores no longer carry this product. I had thought it had been discontinued so I have searched long and wide for an alternative, to no success. I never considered that it may be an online-only item. I am now buying a few of these to make sure I always have a backup!

This has became a new favorite of mine. It's one of the best highlighters out there. Just a little shocked on the size, wish it came larger!

Stila Shimmer Duo
-02.16.13
Quick Take: combination shade, great color, all over face or use as eye shadow
This is such a great deal and I love the two colors. It looks pretty on the skin, especially cheek bones and over eyes. Would recommend it to friends and anyone else looking for a little shimmer.

wanted to like it..
-12.29.12
Quick Take: sheer to light
Not much color payoff at all, whether I tried it as an eye shadow or an all over for face.. and this thing is so small that you cannot brush a buki over it, especially since the product is split into 2 pans.. for the size, this product should be less than *fifteen bux* IMO.. I am usually a Kitten fan, but I would not purchase this again.

Good highlighter
-12.21.12
I bought this for the kitten (lighter) side of the compact but ended up using the darker side, too.
I don't really like too much shine or shimmer, but I do like a sheen or glow for the tops of the cheekbones or even my shoulders for evening. I wanted a product that had staying power but that wasn't going to look obvious and that is actually really hard to find.
I like that this powder is sort of silky feeling (I had to keep looking at it to make sure it wasn't a creme based product, that's how soft it feels.) Unlike a lot of products that claim to be universally flattering, this one really is. From the lightest to the darkest skin tones, this seems like it would look great on everyone.
I feel like when I wear it I always get compliments from people who see me all the time, even when I haven't done anything different. Ultimately, that could be the best review I could possibly give this product.

a staple
-12.06.12
I love this product because it's pretty straightforward and does an awesome job of giving my skin that dewy (but not too dewy) and natural look. The darker side of the pallette gives cheeks a nice healthy glow that doesnt look too St. Tropez-y. The light pink works great as a highlighter and I use it down the bridge of my nose to give my asian nose a little bit more dimension. In short. i love this product.

Quick Take: soft shimmer
I've tried a few different highlighting powders to wear over my concealer and this seems most natural and long lasting. I have yellow undertone therefore everything I've tried seems to whitish and fake. This matched perfectly even though it seems more rose colored in its pallet but actually goes on as a highlighter. Think this would match any skin tone depending on what your going for. Gave it only 4 stars since I havent worn it long enough.

not good product
-09.24.12
i love kitten. that being said this product doesnt even come close. if u want a bronzer then i guess this is fine, but i dont like rubbing brown eyeshadow all over my face. i tried using the light pink as an eyeshadow, or a base and it doesnt show up. i triied the brown and it just makes me look, whats the word, opposite of ashy but not in a good way. gross. im not trying to be mean, i really was excited for this. i even smushed them together thinking this might create that luminous kitten shade, but to no avail. it just looks darkish, and muddy, but with all that massive shimmer stila sometimes dumps into their product. i know kitten has alot of this, but i use it as an eye accent under my eye or in the corners so its an intense pop effect, this duo has NONE of that, zero pop. so beware

Transparent sheer shimmer
-09.04.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage, no pigment
I don't think this product is worth the price, but it does as the description says and just that. I purchased it because it had the two different colors and thought it could be used as a blush or bronzer. Not sure why it has the two colors but all it does is it adds sheer shimmer to the face. May not want it "all over" because it will make your face look shiny and oily!

Another good kitten product :)
-07.23.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer
I have almost the entire "kitten" line from Stila so I decided to pick this up as well. In the pan, the pink side looks like a baby pink blush, and the darker side looks like a golden champagne color. On skin, they both look semi-transparent, the pink slightly less visible than the darker side. You can mix these together for the classic kitten shade or use them separately. The pink side would be great for winter when I lose my tan, and I like the champagne side to layer with my bronzer.
The powders are both very soft and glide across the skin. They are easy to blend and flattering on my fair, cool-toned skin. If you like the kitten shade then you should definitely pick this up.

I love how this shimmer powder can be manipulated. Easy to build intensity and gives such a nice, fresh, radiant glow/highlight no matter how much or little you apply.

A Subtle Dose of Kitten
-05.13.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer
I purchased this All Over Shimmer Duo because I wanted a little extra sparkle for a big night out. I love Stila *anything* in Kitten, so I figured this would fit the bill.
The beige side of the compact is a little darker that I would normally go with my pale complexion, but it looks great as a blush, in a very unexpected way. Perfect for a summer glow on fair skin.
The lighter side, however, I can barely see on my skin. I've tried it as a highlighter and eyeshadow and, either way, it was close to invisible.
All-in-all, though, I still love this set.

Should not live without
-03.25.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
This has got to be one of the best makeup purchases I've made. The two colors are just so pretty and complement my light/medium skin tone just right. I use it as a highlighter and also wear it as a shadow sometimes. I like that it's not super shimmery and you don't look like you just rubbed a bottle of glitter on your face and both colors are very natural looking.

Quick Take: soft shimmer
This product is amazing, especially when used on the cheek bones! But I have also used it on my eyes, as well as my lips (only a little) to make them look more pouty! Its awesome, and makes my skin glow even when I'm not wearing foundation!
