I am not a fan of the idea of liquid highlighters, but if I blend it properly it works out. This shade is better for fairer or lighter skin due to the color and tone.

I am not a huge fan of the idea of liquid highlighter, but if I blend it out properly and enough, it's pretty impressive. It's not a product I would want to go to daily, but it works very well. Sun beam is my favorite shade.

I am pleased with the colors in the palette, set aside "compassionate" and "vivacious", which would normally be the two I would use the most. The pigmentation in these two is terrible, and the fallout is even worse. I am particularly disappointed about "vivacious", which is impossible to get to show up on my skin. Compared to these two, the rest are shockingly pigmented and creamy. The "empowered" blush is VERY pigmented. The bronzer is a versatile, universal color. Overall, for the price, I am pleased. I like this palette better than the energy noir palette.

I have light/neutral skin, and this is supposed to be pretty neutral but it's too yellow for me. For comparison, I use Too Faced Born This Way in shade Porcelain, which is a pretty close match. The Nars foundation is also fairly medium-coverage, but it is buildable to full-coverage. It takes quite a bit of product to reach medium-coverage.
