Formula Overview
$12.00/0.21 oz. - $57.14 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.

Ingredients
Pretty, but just too frosty for my personal taste. I do have several very pale beige-hued golds that are shown as possible dupes for this, but those just sit much better on my skin, which is textured due mostly to large pores and when I smile, there’s krinkles, especially by my left eye.
