Phytosurgence Astral Ablaze Spectral Shine Radiance Balm ($26.01 for 0.25 oz.) is a light-medium, golden copper with strong, warm undertones and a satin sheen. It had opaque color coverage in a single layer, though the denser, almost stiff, consistency worked best with a moderately dense brush or a fingertip (though the latter isn't so much advised!).
It had more of a powder-like feel and application, just without any powderiness as there was some creaminess to it; the creaminess came through more if I swirled my fingertip on the pan's surface a few times. The product applied well to bare skin and on top of a dewier base, but I found it wasn't as compatible with more matte foundations as it didn't glide on as well--it didn't lift up the foundation but didn't go on as evenly and required more layering/buffing. This shade stayed on well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Inspired by light emanating phenomenons of the natural world, Spectral Shine is our long awaited, much requested radiance balm. This is not your traditional highlighter. This will not make you glow from space. No metallic glitter or sparkles here. We used the finest pearl pigments in these dry to the touch creams, so that they don't reflect light off of the skin, but rather catch and hold light to it. What you get is the softest, diffused, and gentle veil of luminosity that translucently filters the skin. Because the pearl pigments are so fine, they do not have any sparkle or glittery quality to them - even in direct sunlight which often gives away when someone is wearing a highlighter.
