Clionadh Eadon Highlighter Review & Swatches
Eadon
Clionadh Eadon Powder Highlighter ($12.50 for 0.21 oz.) is a light, pinky-beige with subtle, warm undertones and flecks of peach and lavender pearl throughout that gave it a smooth, luminous sheen. It had rich color coverage, which was higher than described by the brand, so those who prefer sheerer or more buildable coverage will want to use a less-dense brush or lighter hand when picking up product.
The consistency was soft, smooth, and blendable with a moderately dense feel that wasn’t too stiff or too thick. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview
$12.50/0.21 oz. - $59.52 Per Ounce
There's not much that describes the formula other than it has a "soft, buildable application." They tended to be quite pigmented--semi-opaque to fully opaque--with soft, smoother textures that weren't too dense nor too softly-pressed into the pan. For sheerer or more buildable application, I'd highly recommend using a lighter hand a less-dense brush to do so.
The texture was typically smooth, slightly dense and a bit thicker than most powder highlighters on the market, so they often needed to be really buffed and diffused on the skin. The finishes were often more intense, leaning toward metallic, and occasionally, they emphasized my skin's natural texture when worn at higher coverage levels. They wore between eight and nine hours on me for the most part.

Oh how pretty and soft this one is! I am really taken by it for those reasons. Plus it makes me think of pink champagne, mmm yummy!
Another really pretty highlighter. I would snap this up if I needed one. I think my skin tone is light enough that the lavender shift wouldn’t look like a bruise on my cheek, but I can’t buy anymore highlighters. I am anxiously awaiting my next order!!
