Hot Damn-oiselle D'Avignon

MAC Hot Damn-oiselle D’Avignon Extra Dimension Skinfinish ($37.00 for 0.31 oz.) is a light, pinky-coral base paired with warmer, peachy gold shimmer. It had a luminous sheen that wasn’t quite metallic unless layered more heavily or applied with a dampened brush.

The texture was smooth to the touch with a firmer press, though it wasn’t stiff or difficult to blend out–but there was no powderiness at all in the pan. As is typical with this type of formula (gel-powder hybrid), it works best with moderately dense, more rounded brushes, which tend to pick up product better; you may find a heavier hand is necessary compared to something with a softer, more powdery texture. It had good color coverage in a single layer that was buildable to full coverage with a second layer. The color stayed on nicely for nine hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview

$42.00/0.31 oz. - $135.48 Per Ounce

The Extra Dimension Skinfinish formula is supposed to give “the perfect glow to the skin” with a “creamy powder formula” that wears for “10 hours.” It’s a powder highlighter that I’d describe as a moderate to intense highlighter, and they come in varying hues with some that might work as highlighting blushes/bronzers are on some skin tones and true highlighters on other skin tones. In general, the formula is very pigmented, blendable, and wears around eight to nine hours on me.
