Fairest of All

ColourPop Fairest of All Super Shock Cheek (Highlighter) ($8.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a rich, medium-dark gold with warm, yellow undertones and a metallic sheen. It was one of the more shimmery/metallic shades in the collection, though it didn’t emphasize my skin’s natural texture. The texture was smooth, wet to the touch, but it was thin, lightweight, and felt more powder-like as soon as it was applied to my cheeks. It had buildable pigmentation from sheer to opaque, where duo-fiber brushes yielded sheerer, more buildable coverage and fingertips yielded more opaque coverage (as described). The color applied well to my skin, blended out nicely, and stayed on well for 10 hours 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.
