Anastasia Cognac Diamond Stick Highlighter ($34.00 for 0.28 oz.) is a dark, coppery brown with subtle, warm red undertones and lighter, golden pearl and micro-sparkle that gave it a sparkling, satin sheen. It had less luminosity as it did random sparkle particles that showed up, so it wasn't as flattering as other highlighters or even ones within the formula's range.
The consistency was lightly emollient initially but very quickly turned into a powder-like finish that did not blend out very well once it set into place, so you'll want to work one cheek at a time. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that was naturally inclined to sheer out some during application. This shade didn't blend out as well as others in the range. When I applied it with fingertips, I didn't have issues with it lifting up base products, but when I used a brush, it was more apt to disturb my foundation. It wore well for seven and a half hours before fading visibly.
