It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation with a smooth, creamy consistency that was slightly wet to the touch in the pot, but it did not feel wet once I applied it to my cheek bones. I liked using my fingertips for application, as it remained blendable and easy to work with that way, but brushes or sponges could be used (the latter will yield the most subtle of finishes). It had a strong, noticeable shine but did not emphasize my skin’s natural texture. It wore well for nine and a half hours.Top DupesFormula OverviewIngredientsTop Dupes View Swatches View All DupesMAC Gold Coasting (LE, ) is more shimmery (95% similar).Becca Royal Glow (LE, $38.00) is less shimmery (95% similar).Charlotte Tilbury Gold Bullion (LE, ) is darker (95% similar).MAC Light of the Party (LE, ) is more shimmery (95% similar).Too Faced Apricot in the Act (Highlighter) (PiP, ) is darker (95% similar).LORAC Twilight (P, $23.00) is more shimmery, lighter, warmer (95% similar).Essence Be My Sunlight (P, $4.49) is darker (95% similar).MAC Hot and Heavy (LE, $34.00) is lighter (95% similar).MAC Always One Jump Ahead (LE, $35.00) is less shimmery, darker, warmer (90% similar).The Estee Edit 14K Glow (LE, ) is more shimmery, brighter (90% similar).View SwatchesFormula Overview$10.99/0.17 oz. - $64.65 Per OunceThe formula is supposed to be a "cream-to-powder" texture that has "one-swipe blendable coverage" with a finish that will "smooth skin texture" in addition to highlighting it. It has a spongy, creamy texture that has slight wetness to the touch, but it has the thinner, more powder-like feel of a cream-to-powder product when worked with (whether using fingertips, brushes, or sponges) and not a thicker, true cream texture. The added slip helped the formula blend seamlessly over my cheek bones while retaining coverage and minimizing any disturbance to my foundation/base products. They worked well over bare skin or on top of liquid foundation or powdered foundation in my experience. The wear time ranged between nine and 10 hours on me. They were scented with a beachy, coconutty scent, though I didn't notice it once applied.Browse all of our Physicians Formula Butter Highlighter swatches.IngredientsIsononyl Isononanoate, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Vinyl Dimethicone / Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Ethylhexyl Isononanoate, Alumina, Silica, Dimethicone, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Sorbic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance / Parfum, Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter, Astrocaryum Tucuma Seed Butter, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Butter, Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, Tocopherol, Tin Oxide, Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride, Propylene Carbonate, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12, Sodium Hyaluronate.

Indya Deep Dark, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Very Oily skin. »What an interesting formula… I don’t think I’ve ever tried anything from the brand.
Nancy T Medium-Tan, Olive, neutral undertones. Combination skin. »That’s one very beautiful, glowy highlighter. It has a softness to it that gives a natural glow to your face. BUT; it’s the lipstick you have on that’s giving me a case of the lemmings! That shade is perfection.
Genevieve Fairest, Pink undertones. Dry skin. »What a gorgeous shade, with a great rating and reasonable price.
Maggie Light-Medium, Olive undertones. Normal-to-Oily skin. »This did really well! Looking forward to seeing reviews of the other shades!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I think there are others that might be more “flattering,” but it really depends on what look or effect you’re going for – would you wear it alone, etc.
Nancy yThis one looks great! Christine, will you be reviewing the two newer butter bronzer shades? Been wondering just how darker they are compared to “light bronzer” and “bronzer”.
Alecto Fair-Light, Yellow, strong yellow undertones. Combination skin. »You’ve made me very curious by saying that a sponge would be a more subtle finish. I think I’m going to start playing with sponges more.
