ColourPop Boujee Call Pressed Powder Highlighter Review, Photos, Swatches
Boujee Call
ColourPop Boujee Call Pressed Powder Highlighter ($8.00 for 0.23 oz.) is a light gold with warm undertones and a luminous sheen. It appeared a lot darker and more peach-toned in the pan but all I could see swatched and applied to my cheeks was gold. The texture had a smooth, moderately firm feel to it, and it took a heavier hand to get product onto my brush (or alternatively, use a denser brush). I had no trouble diffusing or blending out the edges of the highlighter on my skin, though, and there was no excess product kicked up in the pan as it was denser. It had good pigmentation, which was buildable to full coverage with a second layer but easily worn at sheerer coverage if desired. On me, the highlighter stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading slightly.

Formula Overview

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.

Sorry..nevermind the sale hasn’t started yet, ha!
But back on topic..I would like to try Flexitarian from CP..I heard good things about that one..the one I got was one they gave away in a deal..so hopefully it is good..I am not picky with highlighters…as long as they aren’t too grey…pretty much all I ask? 🙂
Glad you were able to get the deal!
I was debating on adding this one to my wish list but since it’s lighter than theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer I think I will try it out.
Let me know if you try it!
What a fun shade! I’m not normally one to deviate towards this kind of tone, I can’t help but notice how much more wearable it is on my skintone!
Ohh, nice!
Crazy, but I actually love how this gives a more soft, natural looking glow! Have UD Now’s The Time and a mini of UD Sin from Ipsy, so I know I don’t actually *need* this, but I must say I do like it a lot!
Glad you have a few options already 😀
This is really pretty! I really like the lighter shade!
