ColourPop The Real Thing Super Shock Highlighter Review & Swatches
The Real Thing
ColourPop The Real Thing Super Shock Cheek (Highlighter) ($12.00 for 0.32 oz.) is a medium gold with strong, warm undertones and a shiny, metallic finish. It had a cream-to-powder formula, so it felt emollient, almost wet to the touch, but was very lightweight, thin, and then felt powder-like as soon as it came into contact with my skin.
It had nearly opaque color coverage applied with a fingertip and more buildable, medium coverage when applied with a synthetic stippling brush, which was as expected. The highlighter applied evenly to bare skin as well as over foundation (as it did not lift up my base). It wore well for 10 hours without fading or creasing on me.

Oy vey, 3 dupes already. All darker, though, so perhaps? Hmmm ?
You are the first person I thought of, upon seeing this. How very Nancy T!
I think the cost of these compacts has gone up. I see them as 12 on the website!
How gorgeous is this one? Stunning shade and perfect result.
