OFRA Blissful (Mini) Highlighter Review, Photos, Swatches
Blissful
OFRA Blissful Highlighter ($16.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a medium, rosy copper with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. The texture was dense but soft enough to pickup with a brush without having to jab at the surface; there was a little creaminess when I pressed my fingertip against the surface. The latter seemed to help diffuse and smooth out the powder on my skin as I buffed and blended it on my cheekbones. It had good pigmentation that built up to full coverage with less than half of a layer on top. The finish was high-shine and metallic, but it seemed to stop just shy of emphasizing my skin’s natural texture (I’d say I only have slight texture naturally, though). It wore well for eight and a half hours on me.

Formula Overview
$29.00/0.35 oz. - $82.86 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have a "liquid to baked technology" that has "unparalleled pigment payoff" that can be used as a highlighter as well as an eyeshadow or as a blush topper." It's a very pigmented formula with a high-shine, metallic finish that will be most suitable for someone who wants an intense highlighter.
The texture was denser but not dry or difficult to work with, so it seemed to melt onto the skin the more I buffed and blended the highlighter on. They lasted between eight and nine hours on me before fading noticeably.

Naturally, I absolutely love this one! When I looked at the dupe list and saw DoC Mírame, my heart sank because I totally experienced a brain fart with today’s “Temptalia Asks” question, and FORGOT about my beloved Mírame!!! Probably because I’ve just begun to dig into my hot weather favorites. But, still …? ?
Oh!!! I really like this!! The subtle warmth and colour or adds to your cheeks is really beautiful!!!
This highlighter has everything that normally I wouldn’t like for my cheeks – shimmery, coppery etc. But I love it – such a glorious shade and sits so well on your face Christine.
So happy to see Ofra’s highlighter with a good grade. They’re my favorites!
