Formula Overview
$18.00/0.18 oz. - $100.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have a "radiant glow" that is "never glittery" and long-wearing. The pigmentation ranged from semi-opaque to opaque, but all were buildable if desired. The texture was soft, smooth, and blendable without being too firmly nor too loosely-pressed, which made it easy to adjust pressure or use with both feathery and denser brushes to change the application results.
The finish was more luminous and glowing without being overtly shimmery for most shades. I didn't have any issues with the formula emphasizing my skin's natural texture. They lasted around eight hours on me before showing signs of fading.

Ooooh! 💛💝💛
I’m in total love with this highlighter! That icy shift to an otherwise pale gold is everything I love for winter!
Atomic is really pretty, and am I almost seeing a slight yellow green tinge to the reflect, or is it my monitor? I gotta say: the big news from this post is that I love your eye look here! It’s so fresh! Very youthful and gorgeous. (Not that your other looks aren’t, but this one just spoke to me. Perhaps I’m starting to panic about the impending long dark winter…)
Christine this color looks so amazing on you!! I’m too scared to even try this against my brown skin??? I think a very light wash mixed with a dark pink blush would be nice though.
