Here we are at last: the final highlighter! ColourPop’s highlighter formula is really just a different finish (“pearlized”) of the Super Shock Cheek formula (which initially came out with mostly matte shades). This particular shade could be used as a blush, bronzer, or highlighter, depending on your skin tone. The texture is shimmery enough that the sheen translates to the skin, but it isn’t as metallic as it looks heavily swatched once it is blended out on the cheeks. It doesn’t emphasize pores, but it’s not going to smooth them out either. The texture has a lightweight, lightly creamy consistency that’s thin but pigmented and easily blended on the skin. It can be applied with fingertips or a brush, though I prefer working with brushes (in general), so I’ve been reaching for a stippling brush to apply a lot of these for testing. It lasted for eight and a half hours on me.

Oooo, I kinda like it.
I really like the sheen!
This is gorgeous on you! I haven’t worn this one yet. I am going to set it out right now. I really like it as a blush on you. I think I will try it that way first! Thank you!
Hope you are having a relaxing Memorial Day Christine! 🙂
Thanks, Nicole!
Holidays are… odd for me. I’m here seven days a week, and it’s only for major ones (like Christmas) that are a bit different from any other day (since I take more time away to spend with family). Hope you’re enjoying yours!
Aww,you work too hard girl! You deserve some holiday time too! I’m at Kings Island,an amusement park near me,checking on your blog! 🙂
How fun! 🙂 Sounds like you’ll be having a good time!
Yes. I miss not being able to ride most the rides though. I basically walk around and wait,lol. Oh,well..the weather is nice and I have been its better than working! So,not complaining! I just check on your posts while I wait.:) You are just amazing at what you do!
Thank you! 🙂
So natural, so glowy and sunkissed! This one reminds me of how the Nyx Mosaic blush in Champagne looks on me. That has been my go-to during the warmer months when I’ve wanted that effect. But I really love that this ColourPop one is a cream!
Good to know there’s a powder dupe! 🙂
Thank you for the in-depth reviews! Your blog is a daily read for me. This color is glowy and gorgeous on you. I picked up this shade, Spoon and Butterfly Beach, with Monster on the way. I want them all 🙂
My pleasure, Kim! Can’t wait for you to try Monster!
Hmmm this might be a shade I could get on board with, even with the sheen!
YAY!
Nice, I bet this would look great on dark skin!
It would!
What a pretty peach. I’d use this as a blush, I think.
I could see it as a blush on fairer skin!
I love it on you. Like a subtle bronze. I bought Highly Waisted and found that just a little too orange for me, though still usable (but I prefer Teasecake). Safe to say I’d find this one too orange, too?
Yeah, I’d say this is going to be more orange than Highly Waisted! 🙂
The last thing I need is 3 more highlights but these things are so tempting and I just can’t choose lol. I want them all!
It is hard to choose!
