Make Up For Ever 4 Golden Peach Star Lit Liquid Review, Photos, Swatches
4 Golden Peach
Make Up For Ever 4 Golden Peach Star Lit Liquid ($24.00 for 0.15 fl. oz.) is light-medium gold with warm undertones and flecks of pink, gold, silver, and lighter copper glitter. The pink glitter seemed to be the most noticeable on the skin.
4 Golden Peach had sheer to medium coverage, so the amount and type of coverage was in line with how it was described, though it is hard to get really opaque coverage, as the consistency can get really thick and be harder to work with (and more noticeable in terms of that thickness on the lid). The consistency was very thin, water-like, which made it easy to spread out but also ensured that it was a sheerer product as it would immediately sheer out when I worked with it. It dried down quickly, but I felt I had enough time to blend and spread out the highlighter as long as I worked one area at a time.
As a cheek highlighter, it lasted well for eight hours but had a few particles that had migrated to other areas of the face, so it does “shed” and lose some glitter while worn. As an eye product, it was better as a lid-only product, as it creased after seven hours of wear if I took it above the crease, and there was also some fallout over time–not as bad as a glittery, powder eyeshadow, though, and really not bad at all given just how glittery the formula was.
The Star Lit Liquid formula is described as a “lightweight, multi-use, pearlescent formula” that is a “sheer, water-based formula” that is buildable and won’t feel sticky on the skin. If you like a subtle highlighter, this formula is not for you. And if you don’t like glitter, this formula is definitely not for you! If you like glittery highlighters, I think this might be up your alley. The consistency was thin, water-like, and felt cool going on. The applicator is a lot like a nail polish brush, and it’s okay for getting initial color onto an area, but it is not practical to use it as a blending tool or anything like that. I had the best luck using my fingertip to pat and spread the glitter on the skin (cheeks or eyes) as a sheer wash.

Also very pretty.
It is!
I am not as thrilled with this color as I am with the first few you reviewed, but I am still impressed with the wear time and general lack of glitter fall out.
They held up better than I thought they would!
I like this color more than I thought I would 🙂
Woohoo!
I think I much prefer the liquid versions of these than the powder version – seems much easier to apply! It kind of reminds me of the Benefit Sun Beam I think? Either ways, it looks like it swatched well!
Probably a glitter-tastic version!
It’s glittery, better for evening look
It is glittery for sure!
Make Up For Ever might be the first brand I purchase from Sephora in 2017. I’m loving these new highlighters.
Nice! 😀 Which one has your attention the most, CatG?
The Ivory Star Lit Powder!!
The color is nice. I was expecting more of a translation to the face though.
It’s a bit more noticeable in person, I will say!
Lovely as a cheek highlight on you! It reminds me of *something* in my stash, but I’ll need to look when I get home tonight. Oddly, though, not the 1st dupe listed.
Thank you, Nancy! 🙂
These are so gorgeous! I’m going to have to check them out to use as eye shadows!
Let me know how you like ’em!
Lots of these are starting to look the same to me. I think if you were going to buy this at all, you would only choose one.
I agree – you definitely don’t need all of them!
I would only use this on my eyes, as I don’t like liquid highlighters, but I think this colour is very beautiful!!
lovely color *.* but seems like not gonna suit on my skin tone :/ btw could you please share on highlighter posts which skin tones can wear that products as “highlighter” too many of them way darker for my nc15 skin tone. sorry for my english, hope u got me ^^
Ohh, man. I was just doing a quick scroll through the home page, saw this, and got SUPER EXCITED — thinking it was going to be my new pretty nail polish color. >.<
Then I did something besides look briefly at the first picture. Whoops!
