Padded Down is a light-medium, golden copper with warm, brown undertones and a sparkling, metallic sheen. The key to applying this is to use a denser brush, not the typical highlighter, as the formula is quite dense--almost cream-like--and similar to other dimethicone-heavy powder formulas. It actually felt a lot like the brand's metallic, powder eyeshadows, for reference. The powder felt smooth across the surface, and it blended out beautifully on the skin with little work. The pigmentation was mostly opaque, and the finish was fairly metallic. It layered well with the blush in the duo, and the blush could also be layered over the highlighter to reduce some of the shine, if preferred. On me, the highlighter wore well for eight and a half hours.
