Our verdict

A gold metallic highlighter for a strong, reflective glow on the high points of the face. It is not water resistant, so it can fade in heat or rain.

Overview

Maybelline built Master Chrome as a metallic powder highlighter with pearl pigments that give skin a melted gold finish. It sweeps onto the cheekbones and blends for a strobing glow or pairs with contour.

Chrome level shine in a warm gold reads bold in photos and evening light. Anyone after a subtle daytime sheen may find it too strong unless applied sparingly.

Who it's for

Glam looks, strobing and sculpted evening makeup suit a gold chrome finish. Very fair, cool toned skin may find this shade warm.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Strong metallic reflective finish
  • Buildable from sheer to full
  • Works alone or with contour
Cons
  • Not water resistant
  • Gold may be warm for cool skin
  • Intense for daytime

Performance notes

Pearl pigments reflect light, so placement on the highest points of the face decides where the glow shows. A light sweep gives a sheen while layering builds a full chrome. Moisture and sweat can move it since it is not water resistant.
