ColourPop Everybody's Got a Weakness Super Shock Highlighter Review & Swatches
Everybody's Got a Weakness
ColourPop Everybody’s Got a Weakness Super Shock Cheek (Highlighter) ($8.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a light-medium, yellowed peach base with pink-to-violet shifting micro-sparkle and pearl. It had a smooth, lightly emollient texture–wet to the touch and very creamy–but thin and quick to feel powder-like once it came into contact with my skin. It had buildable pigmentation from sheer to mostly opaque when applied with a brush and more medium to opaque coverage when applied with fingertips. The highlighter applied evenly and blended out easily along the edges. It wore well for nine and a half hours on me before fading slightly.

Formula Overview
$10.00/0.15 oz. - $66.67 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "buildable" coverage and can be applied with fingertips (which will yield "higher coverage") or a brush (for sheerer coverage). It's a cream-based product that has a subtle, "wet" feel to it but never has the thickness of a true cream-based blush.
It goes on with the smoothness of a cream formulation but diffuses and blends (without lifting up one's base) more like a powder product. The product sets to a powder finish, so the product won't slide around during the day.
On me, the wear tends to be between eight and 10 hours. Most shades have medium, buildable pigmentation with some being semi-opaque to opaque on occasion. They are typically blendable, easy to use, and long-wearing.

Love your eye look here! So beautiful! I think I may get the Maleficent pack…
Looks beautiful. What kind of brush do you use for these kinds of highlighters?
I use fingertips!
I know a lot of us feel Hades has poor color representation in his part of the collection (Flotsam and Jetsam each got a separate color, why not Pain and Panic for a violet-red and another shocking blue?), but I’m so, so pleased with the highlighter having that violet shift. The jelly much eyeshadows are something from CP I haven’t tried yet in general, but “I Own You(!)” is the one I’ve been most excited for because of its one-and-done wearability.
This kind of reminds me of UD Fireball, but lighter and softer. I absolutely love that about this one! So it now joins 2 (or 3?) other Villians highlighters on my WL….oh dear!
… and ColourPop knows mine.
Ugh, seriously, this is the perfect shade for me.
