Glow Burst

ColourPop Glow Burst Super Shock Cheek (Highlighter) ($8.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a light-medium pink with strong, warm undertones and a sparkling, lightly metallized finish. It had more opaque coverage applied with fingertips and more medium, buildable coverage when applied with a brush, which was as described.

The texture was smooth to the touch, lightweight, and emollient without being too slippery or too wet, so it was easy to apply to bare skin or over foundation without fear of it lifting up base products. The product blended out nicely along the edges and gave a subtle, sparkling finish (more noticeable in person than in photos). It wore well for nine hours with slight sparkle migration over time.

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.
