Papaya 1972 (Highlighter) is a light peach with warm, yellow undertones and flecks of gold micro-sparkle over a pearly sheen. It had more noticeable shimmer compared to most highlighters in the range, though it definitely didn't emphasize my skin's natural texture.
The texture was moderately powdery--so use a light-hand!--with a soft, slightly drier feel to the touch. It packed opaque coverage in a single layer, though one could use a lighter hand to pick up less, and I noticed that it sheered out to more semi-opaque coverage in practice. The highlighter stayed on nicely for eight hours before showing signs of fading.
