Starstruck

ILIA Starstruck DayLite Highlighting Powder ($34.00 for 0.23 oz.) is a light-medium gold with strong, warm undertones and a smooth, highly-reflective sheen. The texture felt smooth, creamy, and emollient without being thick or heavy; it almost seemed like it had a transparent base due to just how emollient (without being actually wet!) it felt and sat on my skin.

It had good color coverage that was buildable to full coverage with a second layer, which also intensified the finish to even more metallic in nature. The highlighter applied evenly and blended out with ease on bare skin as well as over foundation. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

Comments that do not adhere to our comment policy may be removed. Discussion and debate are highly encouraged but we expect community members to participate respectfully. Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!

Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!
