($22.00 for 0.5 oz.) is a pale, white gold with subtle, warm undertones and a smooth, metallic sheen. It was very brightening with more of a transparent base, so I could see it working well with a multitude of shades under it or even to the inner corners for an extra pop of shine (they are safe for the eyes).
The texture was very lightweight and fluid as it had good glide and slid easily across my skin but didn't feel as watery most liquid formulas tend to be. The coverage was more semi-sheer when applied with "one to two dots" of product, which was the recommended amount per the brand, but it could easily be opaque if applied with more product (like a heavy dab of one dot).
The liquid highlighter applied well to bare skin or over foundation, and I didn't find that one type of application method was better as both fingertip- and brush-application worked well. The product applied evenly, wasn't prone to lifting up base products, and diffused well along the edges. It stayed on nicely for nine hours before fading a bit.
