Sol Body Shimmering Body Powder Review & Swatches
Catwalk
Sol Body Catwalk Shimmering Body Powder ($10.00 for 0.18 oz.) has a medium pink base that wasn’t quite as warm-toned compared to the lighter, golden shimmer and larger sparkle running throughout. The texture was denser and stiffer to work with, and it wasn’t a surprise to me to find that the brand recommend application with fingertips as a result–one really needed that pressure to dig into the product.
It had semi-sheer, buildable pigmentation, which was in line with the formula’s description of being “a wash.” It was rather shiny with noticeable flecks of sparkle, so those who tend to like a subtler finish may find it too intense. The highlighter applied evenly and blended out well with a fingertip, but it was better over bare skin or blended out with a brush if one was applying over foundation. It lasted well for eight hours with some migration from the larger sparkles over time.
This product had a faint coconut scent.

Ingredients
As much as I love how it looks, I do have similar shades, so I may pass on this one. “May” being the operative word!
A very shimmery number that turned out to be tricky to work with. A pretty pink shade though.
Even though it’s not perfect I like it a lot.
I’m thinking pale winter sun hitting warmish shimmery cheeks. Yes, I can use a bit of artificial warmth in the winter.
