ILIA Starstruck DayLite Highlighting Powder Review & Swatches
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.

It’s a pretty shade, but I thought it showed up your skin’s natural texture Christine.
I’am really impressed with this company .
Really beautiful and I love ? that it doesn’t emphasize texture
