Sydney Grace Pumpkin Spice Latte Loose Highlighter Review & Swatches
Pumpkin Spice Latte
Sydney Grace Pumpkin Spice Latte Loose Highlighter ($8.00 for 0.25 oz.) is a light orange with strong, warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had opaque color coverage in a single layer, though the loose format makes it a little harder to tell how pigmented is pigmented as readily as with a pressed formula!
I didn’t feel like I had to be extra careful to get the smallest amount for coverage, but I didn’t need more than a light tap of a highlighting brush into it. The consistency was silky, finely-milled, and blendable, which made it easy to apply and diffuse. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

That’s a beautiful color on you! Is that one of the Lip Creams I spy?
Although this looks pretty, I don’t think that I want to fuss with a loose highlighter. The only loose powder I use is my face setting powder.
Gorgeous highlighter, especially for summer! I love how smooth and melted the finish on it looks, like a glaze. But because I have CP Clock Work, I will use my listed dupe, Tock, in its place and see if I still love that one’s finish just as much.
Terrific! This is sooooo pigmented. It’ll be interesting to do a swatch comparison between this and the other pumpkin SG shades. This seems to be a HL blush for lighter skin tones. I just love orange.
That’s really pretty on you. I was mystified with such a dark highlighter, so I had to read the review. It immediately reminded me of the now discontinued Bare Minerals Radiance line. I just love loose highlighters, bronzers and blushes; they blend out so much better than pressed products. Glad to see SG coming out with these.
What a pretty shade! But I think it would be more popular if it were not in the loose format.
