Electrify

Makeup Geek Electrify Highlighter ($20.00 for 0.25 oz.) is a bright, very lite white with a reflective, golden sheen. This shade had one of the stronger white bases, so it was one that I think is going to be better for very fair skin tones or layered over a bolder blush/bronzer when used on other skin tones to avoid the white base lightening the skin. It seemed to have less of a shine compared to other shades, too, but I’d still describe it as a moderate highlighter.

According to Makeup Geek, the formula is supposed to be “super-smooth” and “incredibly pigmented.” The pigmentation was mostly opaque, while the texture was soft, finely-milled, and easily blended on the skin, but it had a little more powderiness to it compared to other shades in the range. I liked this one applied with a fan or less dense brush, which I felt helped it apply better and look less powdery on the skin. The color wore nicely as a highlighter for eight hours before it started to fade a bit.

Formula Overview

$20.00/0.25 oz. - $80.00 Per Ounce

According to Makeup Geek, the formula is supposed to be “super-smooth” and “incredibly pigmented.” The majority of the range is beautifully done with smooth, slightly denser textures that are blendable and easy to work with. They have good pigmentation, though some shades are more buildable than "incredibly pigmented." Most shades lasted between eight and nine hours on me.
