Flesh Beauty Promise Flesh to Flesh Highlighting Powder Review & Swatches
Promise
Flesh Beauty Promise Flesh to Flesh Highlighting Powder ($28.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a soft copper with warm, rosy undertones and a luminous sheen. The consistency was smooth to the touch, blendable without being too powdery or dusty in the pan, and lightly creamy with moderate density but no thickness or stiffness. It had opaque color payoff that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out easily along the edges. The highlighter gave my skin a noticeable glow but wasn’t metallic and did not emphasize my skin’s natural texture. This shade stayed on well for eight hours before it started to fade slightly.

Formula Overview
$28.00/0.13 oz. - $215.38 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have a "smooth, cream-like" texture that yields a "natural, radiant glow." The key phrase on this one is "natural, radiant glow," as I'd describe the powder highlighter as a light to moderate highlighter with respect to shine and finish. The powders had a very smooth, velvety texture that was slightly creamy but thinner and not quite as dense, but it didn't have any powderiness or dryness either. They had semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation that applied evenly and blended out with little effort. They wore well for eight hours on average.

Looks like it might be a dupe for the *old* MAC Warm Soul. It’s suuuuper similar to Becca Rose Gold.
I don’t have the old one to compare to, unfortunately!
This is a very popular shade and Flesh have done this one well.
In spite of what I think of the brand and their locker room humor when it comes to product names, I really love this highlighter’s finish and tone!
