ColourPop Got Glow Super Shock Cheek Review & Swatches
Got Glow
ColourPop Got Glow Super Shock Cheek (Highlighter) ($8.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a darker, golden peach with warm, more orange-leaning undertones and a soft, luminous sheen. The effect of the shimmer was more noticeable in person, but it was a light-moderate highlighter in its effect, so more suitable for those who prefer a softer glow.
It had a lightly emollient texture to the touch, which felt more powder-like once it came into contact with my skin. It had medium, buildable pigmentation when applied with a fingertip and sheerer, more buildable coverage applied with a brush, as marketed. This shade lasted nicely for 10 hours without fading on me.

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.
