It was intensely pigmented with a smooth, almost cream-like feel to it, so it was dense without being too firmly-pressed into the pan. I had no trouble picking up product with a brush--I'd actually say to use a lighter hand and build up if you tend to like your highlighter sheerer--and applying it to bare skin as the highlighter went on evenly and blended out with ease.

                    <p class="f-2 text-sm-right sans-serif text-uppercase">$9.00/0.25 oz. - <span class="text-gray">$36.00 Per Ounce</span></p><p>The highlighters are supposed to be "smooth and pigmented" that "blend like a dream" and "last all day long."  The majority of the shades in the range are incredibly pigmented with a creaminess to the texture that makes them a cinch to apply and blend out on my skin.  </p>
<p>I was most impressed by how soft, almost cream-like the powders were, yet they weren't too loosely-pressed nor were they prone to powderiness.  Some of the finishes are very metallic or frosted, so when worn at semi-opaque or higher coverage levels, they can emphasize my skin's natural texture slightly. They have worn between eight and nine hours on me.</p>
