Charlotte Tilbury Peachgasm Hollywood Beauty Light Wand Review & Swatches
Peachgasm
Charlotte Tilbury Peachgasm Hollywood Beauty Light Wand ($38.00 for 0.4 oz.) is a soft, peachy copper with warm undertones and fine gold and pink pearl. It had a lightweight, thin consistency that was more gel-like, which was particularly easy to work with over base products (and still worked well over bare skin!) as it did not lift up product nor did it create patchiness. I found the liquid highlighter easy to spread across my skin and blend out along the edges with the included applicator as well as with my fingertips. It had sheer coverage that was buildable to medium coverage, but it was the sheerest of the four shades in the formula. It dried down quickly and didn’t remain wet, but there was enough time to apply and blend. This shade stayed on well for eight and a half hours on me before fading a bit.

Formula Overview
$38.00/0.4 oz. - $95.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to add a "kiss of color" with a "soft focus beauty glow." I found the liquid highlighter easy to spread across my skin and blend out along the edges with the included applicator as well as with my fingertips. The formula dried down quickly and didn’t remain wet, but there was enough time to apply and blend. The coverage ranged from sheer to semi-sheer, buildable coverage.
It had a lightweight, thin consistency that was more gel-like, which was particularly easy to work with over base products (and still worked well over bare skin!) as it did not lift up product nor did it create patchiness. They wore between eight and nine hours on me before fading visibly.

It’s a really nice one.
Neat! Someone finally figured out how to make a non-powder product that works equally well over base products or bare skin.
Glad to see another positive rating for the new beauty wands. It’s a very pretty shade. I’m looking forward to picking it up!
I didn’t like this one. It was a true peach but it didn’t dry down for me. Also it didn’t sink into my skin. It just kinda sat on top , which made me aware of it on my skin which was an uncomfortable feeling. Since I can’t return this one, I’m just using under powder highlighter. If you want a true peach highlighter, try the new Dior backstage glitz palette. The colors are amazing and the peach color is beautiful.
