The REESON Beauty Highlighter Duo is one of my favourite versatile glow products, and it’s just got even better! The original shade, Universal, has been renamed Golden Nude, and there’s a brand-new addition to the line: Champagne Nude. Both shades are designed to give a natural, lit-from-within radiance, whether you prefer a subtle everyday glow or a buildable highlight.
Golden Nude (formerly Universal) remains a warm, universally flattering shade that works beautifully across most skin tones. Its finely milled powder and creamy balm layer blend seamlessly for a radiant, soft-focus finish that doesn’t emphasise fine lines or texture.
The new Champagne Nude is slightly softer and more neutral, making it perfect for those who prefer a lighter, understated glow. Like Golden Nude, it combines a smooth, silky powder with a creamy, dewy balm, creating a glow that can be worn alone or layered over powder for extra luminosity.
NEW: Champagne Nude Shade
Exciting update to the REESON Beauty Highlighter Duo! The original Universal shade has been renamed Golden Nude, and the line now also includes a brand-new shade: Champagne Nude.
Champagne Nude is a soft, neutral highlighter duo designed to deliver a natural, lit-from-within glow. The finely milled powder provides a smooth, soft-focus finish, while the creamy balm melts into the skin for a dewy, diffused radiance that works beautifully across light to medium skin tones. Layer over powder or use alone for a subtle everyday shimmer that doesn’t emphasise texture or fine lines.
Here’s a quick demo so you can see Champagne Nude in action:
I’ve embedded a quick YouTube Short below so you can see it in motion.
Compared to Golden Nude (formerly Universal), Champagne Nude is slightly softer and more neutral, making it ideal for a subtle, buildable glow. Whether you love a gentle everyday highlight or want something versatile for layering, Champagne Nude is a beautiful new addition to the duo.

REESON Beauty Highlighter Duo Swatches
The powder in the REESON Highlighter Duo feels like a liquid. It isn’t shimmery or sparkly, but more like a molten soft gold. The Balm is a beautiful moisturising formula that has a glow without a trace of shimmer.

How to use the REESON Beauty Highlighter Duo
This highlighter is so easy to use. You can use either the balm or the powder alone, or layer them for a custom finish.
I like to use the Powder first, and then apply the Balm on top to melt in the powder highlighter and give the skin a really diffused glow.
For a more amped up gleam, you can use the balm first and then set it with the powder highlighter. This is a higher shine finish but still super flattering and skin smoothing.
Finally, if you like, you can mix the balm and powder together and apply at once. Have a play.
