Taffy
Colour Pop Taffy Pressed Powder Highlighter ($8.00 for 0.23 oz.) is a light-medium, golden peach with warm undertones and a frosted sheen. The texture was looser and a bit drier compared to some of the shades I’ve tried in the same formula. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that was buildable to full coverage with two to three layers. It yielded a strong shine but did not appear overtly shimmery and did not accentuate my skin’s natural texture. On me, the highlighter stayed on well for eight hours.

Formula Overview
$8.00/0.23 oz. - $34.78 Per Ounce
The powder highlighter is supposed to have a "high-shine" finish with "high colour intensity." In general, ColourPop's pressed highlighter powders have a smooth, moderately dense texture that was soft enough to be picked up easily by a brush but not kick up any powder in the pan. The formula was semi-opaque to opaque but easily sheered out for less shine and coverage if desired. There were a few shades within the range that emphasized my skin's natural texture slightly but most did not. The wear ranged from seven and a half hours to nine hours.

Touche
Colour Pop Touche Pressed Powder Highlighter ($8.00 for 0.23 oz.) is a light peach with a sheen that shifted from warmer, yellow peacch to pink. It had good color payoff with a smooth, soft texture that was a touch powdery in the pan, but it applied evenly to bare skin, blended out well, and did not appear dry. The finish was a lot more subtle compared to most of the ColourPop powder highlighters I’ve tried, which some may prefer, but if you are after a more metallic finish, this won’t be it. It wore well for eight hours on me.

These are such gorgeous highlighters for an exceptionally reasonable price. No need to look elsewhere.
Touché is lovely for a nice, soft focus highlight, I think! Not sure what it will appear like on me, but I could probably find a way to make it work!
I’m surprised by how much I like Touche! Very pretty!
And here I am being cook pale ghost but love Taffy. Both! They sure look pretty! Taffy looks very similar to WetnWild Queen of my Canopy which is beautiful also! A bit darker than Precious Petals which is mite golden. Both are good!
