Formula Overview
$14.00/0.53 oz. - $26.42 Per Ounce
The Sun Glow Highlighter formula is supposed to have a "creamy powder" texture and "ultra-fine pearl" formula to give "glowing skin." It had a noticeable coconut scent when the commpact is open, though I did not get much scent when I wore the products.
The consistency was smooth, more velvety with good glide/slip, though they still felt like a powder product. The coverage was semi-opaque to opaque and buildable to boot, while the finish was less pearly as it was quite sparkly--if you don't like "glittery" highlighters, you won't like these. On the other hand, if you like high-shine, sparkle, and glow, then these delivered on all three.
I felt like they were a bit more prone to emphasizing skin texture as a result, since they start at a mega-level of glow. They wore eight hours on me before showing signs of fading.

Another really pretty one on you Christine. I have been enjoying my Becca and Hourglass highlighters since returning to makeup. I tend to like a pinker highlight but this one is speaking to me. I will add to my list of makeup to check out!
Love that wet look and the shade, too! It’s something that I might be able to get away with during winter even though not right now.
Ooooh this is sooooo pretty on you! I may have to check this out at the store.
