ColourPop Mind Over Matter Super Shock Highlighter Review & Swatches
Mind Over Matter
ColourPop Mind Over Matter Super Shock (Highlighter) ($8.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a medium-dark copper with moderate, warm undertones and a luminous sheen that wasn’t prone to emphasizing my skin’s natural texture. It was slightly richer in coverage than is typical for the formula.
- Medium, buildable pigmentation; blendable
- Lightly emollient, quick to dry down to powder-like feel
- Can be applied with fingertips or a stippling brush
- Long-wearing (10 hours)

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.

A very surprising and huge “yes!” to getting this to use as a “Blonzer” for softer summer looks! Didn’t think I’d like something so orange, but it just looks like the perfect one for the summer.
That’s a pretty good bronzer for the right skin tone here, excellent rating at such an affordable price.
This is very pretty, although too deep for me and not my favorite color but it is nice and would look stunning on people with a slightly darker skin tone to mine,
