Ice Kiss

Makeup Revolution Ice Kiss Skin Kiss ($9.00 for 0.49 oz.) is a bright white gold with a frosted, metallic finish. It had chunkier shimmer and a very strong, metallic sheen on the skin. It had medium, buildable color coverage, though the texture was incredibly dense and thick that it took some trial and error to find the right brush to work with this product. It blended out without trouble, and the finish emphasized my pores slightly but did so less than I expected (based on how it swatched). When I tested it, the highlighter lasted for seven hours on me before breaking down.

The Skin Kiss formula is described as a “crushed pigment highlighter” that “adds a natural touch of illumination.” I feel like brands that give too little information often make it hard to know what to expect (or not expect). In the case of Skin Kiss, it’s an incredibly dense texture, almost so dense that it felt like a hybrid between powder and cream. It takes a heavy hand or a denser brush (like a blush brush or even a flat, foundation brush) to get product onto the brush. It’s also a more metallic, chunkier highlight that is more like boom! highlight! than a “natural touch.” With enough buffing and blending, the effect can be moderate to heavy but I’d never call it natural. The compact is also massive, so you’re getting plenty for your money, but it’s in that territory where it is more likely to be overkill for many.

Golden Kiss

Makeup Revolution Golden Kiss Skin Kiss ($9.00 for 0.49 oz.) is a light-medium yellow gold with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had medium, buildable color payoff, which was partially due to the denseness and thickness of the texture. If I used a fingertip, I could get more opaque coverage, but even a dense brush took some tapping to get product to transfer from the pan to the brush itself. The formula wasn’t stiff, just dense and almost cream-like as a result. This was the least metallic shade of the three, though it produced a noticeable sheen to the skin. The powder highlighter blended out nicely and lasted for seven and a half hours on me.

Peach Kiss

Makeup Revolution Peach Kiss Skin Kiss ($9.00 for 0.49 oz.) is a light-medium pink coral with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. The consistency was slightly softer and easier to pick up compared to the other two shades, and the shimmer was finer, though there was a lot of it, so it still ran more metallic on the skin. I felt like I had more control over whether I wanted a more “natural touch” kind of finish or an amped up, high-shine finish when I tested this shade. It had rich color payoff, but it was still blendable and easy to sheer out as desired. The highlighter wore well for seven and a half hours before starting to break down.
