Formula Overview
$12.00/0.21 oz. - $57.14 Per Ounce
The powder highlighter is supposed to have a "high-shine" finish with "high colour intensity." In general, ColourPop's pressed highlighter powders have a smooth, moderately dense texture that was soft enough to be picked up easily by a brush but not kick up any powder in the pan. The formula was semi-opaque to opaque but easily sheered out for less shine and coverage if desired. There were a few shades within the range that emphasized my skin's natural texture slightly but most did not. The wear ranged from seven and a half hours to nine hours.

I really like this subtle color. I haven’t spent any time on the ColourPop website since I have been back to makeup. Are they still releasing a palette a week, or more?!! I really like this a lot and while I have Dior Rosy Glow, I like this better on you, Christine. I was into Ulta in Seattle and was amazed at all of the brands there now. Of course, their Ulta was like three times the size of the one I go to in Missoula and even the one in Spokane. I was like a kid in a candy store but in the end didn’t end up buying much. I was mostly fixated on my thinning and balding hair and trying to figure out which products to try in hopes of staving off anymore thinning. I also looked for Nars Cruela Jumbo Lip Pencil and they didn’t have it in store so I was worried it is discontinued but it isn’t so will order it delivered. It is one of my favorite red lips, along with Ilia 99 Balloons and Elizabeth Red Door Red.
While definitely not the amount of depth or at least sheerness for me, this would look absolutely stunning on someone with a much cooler, lighter skintone than my own!
