ColourPop Thimble Super Shock Cheek Highlighter Review & Swatches
Thimble
ColourPop Thimble Super Shock Cheek Highlighter ($8.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a soft, light gold with warm, yellow undertones and a metallic sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation when applied with fingertips and medium, buildable coverage when applied with brushes. The highlighter had a smooth, lightly spongy texture that felt wet to the touch but applied and acted more like a powder as soon as it was placed onto the skin. This shade had a noticeable sheen but didn’t emphasize my skin’s natural texture. It wore well for over 10 hours on me.

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.

It looks perfect to me – not to sparkly, glossy or dewy – just the right kind of illuminating powder.
Charlotte Tilbury Gold Bar is about as dark as I can go and Moonstone is way too dark for me as a highlighter. So, I will probably pass on this for now but might look at it for an inner corner highlight when wearing warm toned looks. Looks beautiful and in general, ColourPop highlighters are quite nice.
This whole look is stunning Christine! That should be a go to colourpop hilight for you ?What highlights would you recommend for lighter skin tones (pretty pale) with a neautral/yellow undertone?
Thank you

Thank you for the link! I own many of the A- to A+ ones. I believe The link is for all skin tones. A bit hard to figure out also I have “aging” skin. It is getting harder to find hilighters that look nice and are not dry looking. Have a good day! 🙂
I actually gave you a link for fairest, fair, and fair-light skin tones with neutral and yellow undertones – exactly as you had asked!
Can we talk about those awesome earrings? 😛
