ColourPop x Pony Park Frosty Super Shock Cheek Review & Swatches
Frosty
ColourPop Frosty Super Shock Cheek (Highlighter) ($8.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a soft, yellowy peach base with subtle, gold-to-pink shifting pearl and faint sparkle. It had more opaque coverage when applied with fingertips and more semi-sheer, buildable coverage when applied with a brush (about as marketed).
The texture was smooth, lightly emollient but not overly wet, so the product wasn’t prone to lifting up base products and could be applied over bare skin just as nicely. It felt wet to the touch but turned to a powder-like finish when it came into contact with my skin. It wore well for nine hours on me 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.

Frosty is a subtle one, yet quite pretty in its softness. Not sure how it would work on me. MAC Show Gold does, so maybe…?
She’s a looker!
