ColourPop Still Loading Super Shock Highlighter Review & Swatches
Still Loading
ColourPop Still Loading Super Shock Cheek (Highlighter) ($8.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a soft, rosy lavender with cooler undertones and a luminous sheen. The texture was smooth, emollient to the touch, and quick to turn to a more powder-like finish once it came into contact with my skin.
It had semi-sheer color coverage applied with a brush and medium coverage with a fingertip, but it was hard to achieve fully opaque coverage out of it without layering it two to three times–it was less pigmented than most I’ve tried in the past. The highlighter applied well to bare skin as well as on top of foundation. It wore well for 10 hours before fading visibly.

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.

Ingredients
I see this shade looking gorgeous on either very light or deep cool-toned complexions. But definitely not on my medium olive face!
