Winter Falls in LA

Wet ‘n’ Wild Winter Falls in LA MegaGlo Highlighting Powder ($4.99 for 0.19 oz.) is a pale, warm white with a pearl that shifted from green to blue paired with a metallic finish. The consistency was soft, smooth, and blendable without being too firmly not too softly pressed in the pan. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that applied evenly to bare skin and diffused easily along the edges. The highlighter gave a noticeable sheen on my skin but did not accentuate my skin’s natural texture. This shade lasted well for seven and a half hours on me before fading noticeably.

Formula Overview

$4.99/0.19 oz. - $26.26 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” with a “silky smooth” texture that is “easy-to-blend.” The shades ranged from semi-opaque to opaque typically with smooth, denser textures that weren't stiff or difficult to work with. A couple of shades seemed a touch drier in the pan but did not appear dry on my skin usually. They blended out nicely and lasted around eight hours on average.

This is a nice one; wore it under my setting powder and it was noticeable but not in-your-face. It probably seems odd for someone with yellow skin, but I’m really liking these lavender-y, bluish, and cool greenish highlighters for days when my face is otherwise very natural-looking — they keep my from going too one-note (I am relentlessly yellow/gold, with strongly-toned skin and cool blond hair; just a little bit of contrast is exactly what I need).
