Glowing

Milani Glowing Strobelight Instant Glow Powder ($10.00 for 0.30 oz.) is a medium copper with a warm, golden sheen. It had opaque color payoff that applied evenly to bare skin, blended out easily, and had a high-shine finish. I found it accentuated the look of my skin’s natural texture slightly when worn at nearly full coverage. The powder had a smooth consistency that was soft but not powdery in the pan. The highlighter started to fade on me after eight hours of wear.

The formula is powder highlighter that’s supposed to have a “radiant finish” and is available in seven shades (you can view swatches of all shades here). The consistency was similar to a lot of other “gelee” highlighters: smooth, soft but more firmly pressed (where there was no powderiness but was still pigmented) with semi-opaque to opaque coverage and a frosted to a metallic finish. Some shades emphasized my skin’s natural texture slightly when worn heavily. This formula will be most suitable for someone who likes an intense, more metallic highlighter and warmer-toned shades.

Moon Glow

Milani Moon Glow Strobelight Instant Glow Powder ($10.00 for 0.30 oz.) is a soft, pinky-peach with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. This shade was more metallic than the others in the line-up, but despite the very reflective finish, it still seemed to provide a smoother overall look to my skin and did not emphasize my skin’s natural texture, even when worn heavily. It was richly pigmented, which was controllable (lighter touch to pickup less product), blendable, and long-wearing with eight hours of wear.

Thank you so much for posting this review! I’ve been wondering about these highlighters and wanted to hear your opinion on them!

Same question here thanks so much for answering. I’m a cool pale cucumber myself. Lol! Thanks. Hard to choose I love them all. I already have the Physians Formula shimmer strips wondering which one would be very similar to avoid getting same color. Love those too very beautiful soft sheen/bronzer or blush!

Thank you for the reviews. These highlighters look stunning on you! The Orgasm lipstick looks great too! Do you have a different blush on your right cheek? I didn’t see any cheek color listed in your “makeup look” list below the review. Sorry if you’ve addressed this previously.

I’m loving these! This one might be too similar to Bobbi’s Pink Glow, which is one of my favorites so no surprise I’m into this one. But… over the summer when I really want a new highlighter I’ll be looking at these and the NYX liquid ones. Yay for drugstore finds!
