Coloured Raine Selfie & Fashion Show Focal Point Glowlighters Reviews, Photos, Swatches
Selfie
Coloured Raine Selfie Focal Point Glowlighter ($25.00 for 0.28 oz.) is a light, peachy orange with warm, yellow undertones and a metallic sheen. It had buildable pigmentation from medium to mostly opaque coverage. The highlighter had a firmer, smooth texture that was dense and almost cream-like, so it did require a denser brush to perform well as more feathery brushes just did not pick up much product in a single swipe (or swirl). On the upside, even when applied heavily, this one just reflected light and looked incredibly shiny–but smooth! without emphasizing my skin’s natural texture. I did feel like it applied and looked lighter on than it did in the pan (more like a pale yellow gold) on me. It wore well for almost nine hours on me before fading.
The Focal Point Glowlighter formula is supposed to be “butter soft” with “high impact luminous glow.” There are eight shades available from pale duochromes to deep coppers (view all swatches here). The formula was denser, firmer, and a little creamier than the average powder highlighter, so fluffy, less dense brushes had trouble picking up a lot of product, whereas denser highlighting brushes and blush brushes picked up product just fine. Most of the shades were quite smooth in feel with medium to full coverage and a strong, reflective shine on the skin and lasted for eight to nine hours. If you’re someone who likes buildable highlighters from medium to opaque with a metallic sheen, these might be right up your alley.

Fashion Show
Coloured Raine Fashion Show Focal Point Glowlighter ($25.00 for 0.28 oz.) is a very light, yellowish white with a soft sheen that shifted from gold to pink. It seemed rather similar to Luxurious Bling swatched as well as applied to me, but it had a better texture as it felt smoother, soft without being powdery. It had semi-opaque to opaque, buildable pigmentation that applied evenly to bare skin and diffused easily along the edges. The highlighter started to fade noticeably after eight and a half hours of wear.

Oooh Selfie is pretty! It does look like a spotlight on your cheeks!
That’s a great way to describe it, Katherine!
Oh my, Selfie is so luminous and just bombshell level of beautiful applied! This one I would buy. Thankfully, no weird white base in it. The white base in so many of these has me terribly perplexed, as these are primarily marketed by and towards WoC. I just don’t get it because at a MAC NC37, even I’m too dark to easily pull off a strong white base like many of these highlighters have!
Selfie has a lovely sheen on the skin!
I NEED fashion show, and that greenish one from the other day!
I really love green shimmery highlights. I only own two, but they aren’t perfect imo. So Im looking for a perfect green and yellow highlight!
Which two do you have, Shannon?
Shannon, Becca is coming out with new Light Chaser Highlighters, launches 6/6 on Sephora. There’s one called Topaz Flashes Gilt, which is described as golden bronze with soft emerald shift, the promo pic looks like a light gold, hoping there’s a nice green shift……
Thank you SO much for the heads up Katherine! Ill have to look into this omg!
These are quite gorgeous shades and an excellent rating. Beautiful on you Christine.
Thanks a lot, Genevieve!
I like both, but I think I must stop buying hightlighters, I do have enough to last a long time, and I only have one face…
I might perhaps get one from Becca though, as I swatched a lovely one yesterday.
Selfie looks lovely on you, and the whole look is just gorgeous. It makes me want to print the list of products used and start ordering.
Thank you for your kind words, Helene!
Maybe kind, but mostly true. <3
I like the colors but for some reason so many of their product seem “drugstore” to me.
