Charlotte Tilbury Bar Of Gold Highlighter Palette Review

This post contains affiliate links, which means if you buy something through those links I will receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. I will only recommend products that I love, and feel are valuable to you. Thank you for your support!

This beautiful, high-end Charlotte Tilbury Bar of Gold highlighter palette is finally a part of my makeup collection. I tested this beauty out to see if it’s worth the high price point and I also looked for some highlighter dupes in my collection. 

The Charlotte Tilbury Bar of Gold Highlighter Palette is probably one of the most well-known highlighters besides the Anastasia Beverly Hills Amrezy Highlighter. And I’m so late to the game when it comes to this highlighter palette. I think it’s the price that held me off for a while but I finally decided to buy it. 

I bought it right in time though, because I just now saw that the Bar of Gold highlighter palette is discontinued on the Charlotte Tilbury website! I actually didn’t know that this palette would be limited edition/discontinued and I’m wondering why it is though.

Charlotte Tilbury Bar Of Gold Highlighter Palette Review

“Bar of Gold, the SELL-OUT skin-gilding sensation is BACK in a MUST-HAVE trio! The new Bar of Gold Highlighter Palette is the perfect powder highlighter, featuring three sublime shades of show-stopping gold in one luxurious makeup palette exclusive to CharlotteTilbury.com. You can bring instant magic to your makeup look, but you’ll have to be quick… the Bar of Gold is gold dust by nature as well as name, so get it before its gone! Make sure you wear nothing but gold!”

– Charlotte Tilbury

WHAT MAKES BAR OF GOLD PALETTE MAGIC:

  • This luxurious highlighter palette contains the best-selling original gold shade, a rose gold highlight for a soft goddess-blush tone on your skin and a gold bullion shade for deeply seductive bronzing, perfect on a sun-kissed complexion.
  • Luxurious Pure Gold Pearls illuminate the skin and for a lit-from-within glow.
  • The light-reflecting high-tech ‘wet’ powder defines and sculpts the appearance of the cheeks as it transforms.
  • Create bespoke brilliance on-the-go with this beautifully sleek custom palette design.
  • Dial-up your GLOW by applying highlighter on your cheeks, eyes, and décolletage for shimmering, mesmerizing beauty!
  • Ideal for lifting dull skin and adding celestial sparkle.

The palette contains 7.5g and retails for $58. This product is vegan-friendly and Paraben-free. The palette is discontinued on the Charlotte Tilbury site but is still (for now?) available at Sephora.

Of course, I had to test out the bold statements on the website. Is this Bar of Gold highlighter palette truly magic? Is it worth a high price point? That’s what we all want to know right? Well, I have the answers! 

Let’s first start off with the fact that this highlighter palette isn’t super blinding. I would describe this as a natural glow. I personally like how this looks on the face since it looks like this is your own glow instead of a highlighter.

If you prefer a very blinding highlighter, you are not going to like this one. The Bar of Gold is buildable but never reaches that extreme glow. But it also means that if you like a more natural-looking glow, you’ll love this Charlotte Tilbury Bar of Gold highlighter palette!

This palette is for light to medium skin tones, as I think the shades will be too light for darker skin tones.

I was scared I couldn’t pull off the darkest shade, Bronze, but I can. Especially if I combine it with Gold. The most natural shade for my skin tone is Pink Champagne. 

I agree with the statements about the lit-from-within glow and the ‘wet’ look. I would describe the Charlotte Tilbury Bar of Gold palette this way myself too. I love how this highlighter isn’t laying on the skin or accentuating my pores. It has a skinlike finish and is very smooth and soft looking. I have no complaints! 

Even though I love the shades and the formula, I’m pretty sure there’s something similar and less expensive on the market. Kylie Cosmetics French Vanilla is very similar to Gold, Melt Cosmetic Stargazer and Milk Makeup Lit are very close to Pink Champagne and Persona Cosmetics Zuma and MAC Cosmetics Always One Jump Ahead is very similar to Bronze. Just to some up a couple comparisons/dupes. 

Do you have the Charlotte Tilbury Bar of Gold in your collection?

    Your blog is beautiful! And oh wow this product looks so beautiful too. I much prefer highlighter than doesn’t look like I’ve dipped my cheek in glitter to be honest. Would be a lovely treat to myself!

    A great post ?

    This highlighter palette is unreal. I love blinding highlighters but I also love the softer glowy ones and I think they’re more flattering, too. I find the same thing with my Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadow palette because the shimmers aren’t glittery but soft, glowy and extremely flattering. If I didn’t own so many highlighters, I’d 1000% get this one!

    Absolutely love this review, I have used the liquid highlighter by CT before and loved it but wasn’t sure if a powder would suit me, however, you’ve sold it to me! Going to pick up one next time I’m out in town.

This lipstick is super fair, even for my pale skin tone but I still wanted this lipstick because I think it’ll look amazing with a darker lip liner 😍 

#beautytip if you ever have a lipstick which is too light or not fully your color, you can manipulate the shade with a lip liner! 

I love this trick and I play around with lipsticks and lip liners all the time 🥰

Do you wear lip liner? Let me know in the comments 👇🏻

What should I gift my loved ones? 🎁
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is probably the most asked question this time around. It's not always easy to find the perfect gift, especially a gift that'll fit your budget as well. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today I posted a Beauty Gift Sets gift guide for every budget, so everyone gets the inspiration they need for the holidays. One of my favorite sets I've included in my blog post is this @balibody Christmas Set. Containing their 3 bestsellers, Ultra Dark Self Tan, Face Tan Water & BB Cream. It comes in the cutest box and it's wrapped as well so you're ready to go! 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Isn't this such a lovely gift?! #gifted

GIFTED I hate a messy space, especially my makeup GIFTED  I hate a messy space, especially my makeup drawers and so I have been investing in organizers for years now. The last year I have been updating my drawers again and came across @tidyups, a company that sells acrylic organizers AND they fit perfectly in the typical beauty influencer Ikea Alex drawers! 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I did purchase the first batch of organizers myself but I reached out to @tidyups and they kindly gifted me their newest organizers! A Display Tray, which is perfect for your foundations, concealers, setting sprays but also works well with liquid lipsticks or lipglosses. The tray is slightly lifted, so products stored in it don't lay completely flat (which I like for my foundations) and they still fit into the flat Alex drawer, as well as the deep drawer. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The other organizer I got is the Double Tray, which has two compartments. I store my concealers and primers in there as well as minis and my sponges. I really love these trays because I now can easily see what's in the drawer. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I also have their Palette Organizer, Compacts Organizer, Lipgloss Organizer, Eyeshadow Organizer, and Lipstick Organizer. As you can tell, I absolutely love them! I'll show you how all my drawers look inside in my stories soon so keep an eye out if you're interested! 🥰
So I just started my makeup inventory and I’m al So I just started my makeup inventory and I’m already shocked by the amount of products I own! I know I have a lot but when you’re writing it down, it becomes real. 😳🛍

I’ve added these @tower28beauty lipglosses to my collection recently and I think they’re bumping the Kylie Cosmetics High Glosses from their first place in my favorites list! 🤯
