Just for Us
ColourPop Just for Us Luster Dust Loose Highlighter ($7.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a soft, pastel pink with strong, warm undertones and multi-colored pearl and slightly larger sparkle. It had good pigmentation in a single layer, and it yielded a strong, luminous finish on the skin that wasn’t metallic but still plenty reflective. The underlying powder was more matte, so it did not seem to add a lot of shine, just helped given the highlighter a more uniform base to work with. It had a soft, finely-milled consistency that was easy to blend out on my skin. This shade stayed on well for eight hours before fading slightly.

Formula Overview
$7.00/0.106 oz. - $66.04 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be a "finely-milled, soft powder" that "packs a blinding punch" where "a little goes a long way." These can be incredibly shiny and metallic on the skin, and the coverage seemed to be all in the application. They actually seemed to be more pigmented when I applied them to my cheekbones using a tapered highlighter than when I used smaller brushes (for eyes) on my forearm. The powders were finely-milled with some base color and a lot of shimmer/pearl. I found the best way to apply these was to pick up product onto a brush and then swirl my brush on the interior of the cap, which helped to disperse the powder more evenly through my brush. This resulted in more even application to my cheeks that required less buffing and blending than if I skipped the swirling step. They lasted around eight hours on me.

You look gorgeous!
Very pretty highlight but I can’t get past how beautiful you look in the photo. The whole look is just stunning and I like the bright lipstick.
Very soft and just luminous enough to where I could see this being a good daytime/ work appropriate highlighter. Probably a little too light if a pink for me, though.
