Shimmy Peach

MAC Shimmy Peach Hyper Real Glow Palette ($39.50 for 0.45 oz.) is a new trio of highlighters in warm tones–all more orange-leaning than is typical–across a copper, soft orange, and deeper gold. All three shades had good pigmentation, eight-hour or longer wear, and were blendable, though Paradise (left shade) was a bit more firmly-pressed in the pan than ideal.

This trio launches February 4th!

Paradise

Paradise is a light-medium copper with warm, golden shimmer and a metallic sheen. The highlighter had rich, opaque pigmentation, but the consistency was denser and a little thicker in the pan, so while it blended out well on my skin, I had some trouble picking up product with highlighting brushes and would have to build up color. I had to use a heavier hand and more of a blush brush to get higher coverage in one layer. Those who fear overdoing it will likely find this easier to work with as a result! On me, the highlighter blended out nicely, didn’t emphasize my skin’s natural texture, and stayed on well for eight and a half hours.

Shimmy Peach

Shimmy Peach is a light, peachy orange with warm undertones and a soft, metallic sheen. The pigmentation was opaque in a single layer, while the texture was soft, smooth, and yielding enough that my typical arsenal of brushes picked up product without an issue but there was no excess product kicked up in the pan. It applied evenly to my cheeks and blended out seamlessly. This shade lasted well for eight hours before it started to fade noticeably.

Glow, Baby, Glow

Glow, Baby, Glow is a medium gold with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage with a smooth, lightly creamy consistency that was denser and slightly firmer, though I didn’t have any trouble using a tapered highlighting brush to pick up and apply color to my cheeks. It had a smooth, luminous sheen that didn’t emphasize my skin’s natural texture. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before fading slightly.
