Sydney Grace Peach Kisses Highlighter Review & Swatches
Peach Kisses
Sydney Grace Peach Kisses Highlighter ($12.00 for 0.25 oz.) is a light-medium pink base (with warmer, yellow undertones) with warm, golden shimmer that gave it a metallic finish. The color payoff was opaque in a single layer, and I felt like a little went a long way–both in terms of coverage as well as the sheen. The highlighter had a denser, lightly creamy texture that seemed like it would be heavy on my sin, but it applied smoothly, blended out easily, and didn’t emphasize my skin’s texture as I had feared. It wore well for eight hours before fading a bit on my cheeks.

Formula Overview
$9.00/0.25 oz. - $36.00 Per Ounce
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.
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.

I’m forever a sucker for a cool-based with a golden flash highlighter! This one is utterly splendid and glorious! WL worthy ?
This is another beautiful shade and is one that I would most likely be able to wear, especially if applied with a light hand. Wish these were in stores somewhere so that I could swatch and compare on my skin. Hopefully one of the big makeup suppliers will start to stock this brand.
This shade is heavenly! I love peachy-pink HLs like this.
Wow – this looks good! Could it kind of pass as a blush? It is a beautiful shade. I have pink undertones, so would the yellow undertone base for this clash with my complexion?
