Glossier Quartz Haloscope ($22.00 for 0.19 oz.) is a soft, warm champagne with a pearlescent, dewy finish. It had buildable coverage--swiped directly from the tube, it could easily be nearly opaque, and if patted onto the skin with fingertips, the coverage could range from sheer to medium depending on how much product one picked up. The texture was dense and firmer in the tube but as it warmed up, it became more yielding and pliable with light slip for a thinner, cream-based formula that sat well on my skin.
The formula was moderately tacky, though lightweight and easy enough to manipulate (even over foundation), and lasted well on my skin (which is more normal these days than dry). I didn't have any issues wearing it on its own or over foundation--didn't find one was any better or worse for application or wear--but I recommend applying with fingertips over foundation due to the consistency taking a few seconds to warm up (and the pressure could disturb foundation). It stayed on well for eight hours on me. I found it to be one of the better cream highlighters, as it gave a noticeable, glowing finish to my skin but was still very skin-like, didn't emphasize my skin's texture, and managed to last well despite not drying down.
