Rainbow Strobe

Too Faced Rainbow Strobe Rainbow Effect Highlighter ($30.00 for 0.28 oz.) is a light gold with strong, yellow undertones and a sparkling finish. I found that the pigmentation of the yellow and gold were strong, but the aqua and lavender were very weak with the coral somewhere in-between, which I expect is why it was dominated by a light gold color overall. Swirled together, it had good pigmentation with a sparkling, drier consistency that had a tendency to sheer out on the skin. It wore well for seven hours but had noticeable sparkle migration during the day.

While there were multiple stripes of color, I really could not get them to appear individually on my cheek bones, even when using a dense, flat brush (not Too Faced’s but ones similar in shape). They just… ran together… and sheered out quite a bit due to the drier, chunkier texture. I tried using my fingertip just to try and get a swatch of the shades as a rainbow, and again, it just looked like glittering gold with a few cooler flecks of shimmer toward the bottom.
