8th Muse (Highlighter) is a light pink with strong, warm undertones and a luminous sheen. It had sheer to semi-sheer coverage, which was buildable to medium coverage with a second layer. With cream blush, especially more emollient formulas like this one, I find it works best applying in sheer layers and building up with a second layer rather than applying more heavily in one layer.
The consistency was creamy, lightweight, and thin with moderate slip, which worked well over bare skin but was not quite as foolproof applied over foundation. I just felt like I had to be gentler to avoid lifting up my base products with the highlighter formula in the duo but was able to do it with success. This shade wore nicely for eight hours before showing signs of fading.
