Corvus Cosmetics recently released their newest collection inspired by vintage circuses. It includes sixteen eyeshadows in bright and bold colors with French names. During their release, Corvus also introduced all new face highlighters! The debut product comes in ten beautiful shades, half of which are wearable and the other half are duochrome. Their TAT is currently 5-30 business days and I found my order shipping within 10 business days. The Le Cirque collection has the same wonderful formula that I've grown accustomed to from Corvus with the eyeshadows being pigmented even over regular primer and extremely blendable.
However, the real surprise came from the highlighters. They're all incredibly creamy and easy to blend into the skin. I've been wearing a new shade every day for the past week and have found all of them a pleasure to work with. Depending on how heavy handed the application is, they can be both subtle and intense. I find them creamier than some of the highlighters from other indie brands that I've been enjoying. They are also pigmented enough over a sticky base to be used as eyeshadows or inner corner highlights. I really do recommend trying out at least samples of the highlighters and hope Corvus releases more shades.

Jane: shimmery pale golden pink. Please excuse the odd line in the bare skin swatch. Apparently my primer from previous swatches hadn't washed off as completely as I thought it had and still remained on my skin enough to affect the pigmentation of future swatches.

I attempted to create a halo eye using some shades from Le Cirque and really liked my results! I found the two contrasting colors blended well and lasted throughout my entire workday. If you're a fan of bold and bright colors, I would really recommend checking out this collection. As I've also mentioned before, I've been wearing the highlighters every single day and haven't been disappointed yet. All the shades are extremely wearable and the duochrome highlighters have just a pop of uniqueness that shows up in certain angles. I don't find any of them obnoxious in sparkles or shimmers as I do some other highlighters. I really believe there's a shade for everyone and hope Corvus continues to expand their line!
