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.

Too deep for me to use as a highlighter, but it sure would be great as a bronzing blush during summer! The one highlighter in my brand new, just arrived today Hourglass Tiger face palette looks like this. Perfect highlighter for the richest of skintones, but again, a beautiful bronzing blush for me. Gotta admit, I really dig the panther design on Royal Vibrancy more, though 🐈⬛
That looks gorgeous!
Oooo! Gives that “Christmas bulb” effect that draws me to want it, but like Nancy, too dark for me to enjoy for the price.
