Sephora Dusk Golden Hour Highlighting Powder Review, Photos, Swatches
Dusk
Sephora Dusk Golden Hour Highlighting PowderSephora Dusk Golden Hour Highlighting Powder ($16.00 for 0.28 oz.) is a soft pink with warm undertones and golden shimmer. It has a luminous finish–glowing but not metallic or too reflective.
The formula is supposed to have a “soft, luminous glow with a sheer wash of color” that can be “worn alone or layered.” It had semi-opaque pigmentation, which was buildable to full coverage. On very, very fair skin tones, it might show some visible color, but on my skin tone it was more like a true highlighter. The consistency was very smooth without being dusty or powdery in the pan–it almost feel like a really dense cream–but it yielded in the pan and was easy to blend out on the skin. This shade wore well for eight hours before fading slightly.

This is pretty! I wish the color of gold shimmer was a tad more apparent, but otherwise I do like the more subtle glow.
I’d say it’s a little more apparent in person as it did add some warmth!
Another beautifully soft, non-metallic highlighter! Loving the gold shimmer within the soft pink shade, it reminds me a bit of of MAC Pearl Blossom!
The finish on these is quite lovely — luminous but not metallic!
I really like how this might look just as good as an eyeshadow! Love the shade of this range!
Oh I like that! It’s a good one for people who are already flushed like me!
Loving this pretty color!
