Faunus Clionadh Faunus Powder Highlighter ($ 12.50 for 0.21 oz.) swirls together to create a soft, silvery beige with a warmer, peachy shift at certain angles. The texture was smooth, lightly creamy, and denser, so it was easier to use a lighter hand to achieve more buildable coverage. I would describe the coverage was opaque, […]
Current Clionadh Current Powder Highlighter ($ 15.00 for 0.21 oz.) has a transparent base with intense, pale aqua shimmer that was highly-reflective and shiny in its finish. It had medium to semi-opaque, buildable coverage, which was in line with how the highlighter formula was marketed. The consistency was soft, a smidgen loosely-pressed but not powdery, […]
Melt Cosmetics Sandy Cheeks Cream BlushlightMelt Cosmetics Sandy Cheeks Cream Blushlight ($ 22.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a medium brown with strong, warm orange undertones and a natural finish. It was intensely pigmented where a little went a long way, though the formula was blendable and spreadable, so it was fairly easy to correct or […]
It delivered full color coverage in a single layer, which was as marketed, but it was very blendable, so it could be diffused and blended out for a sheerer effect if desired. You could also just use less product and build up where needed. It felt a little more powder-like, not totally dry or matte, […]
The texture was noticeably different from other shades in the formula, and unfortunately, those texture differences made it a product that was harder to apply evenly and blend out. Thinner, stiffer textures tend to stick strongly to certain areas but not spread or diffuse as readily, which can make for a patchier application of color […]
Merit Terracotta Flush Balm Cream BlushMerit Terracotta Flush Balm Cream Blush ($ 28.00 for 0.31 oz.) is a light brown with warmer undertones and a glossy finish. It had sheer to semi-sheer pigmentation, which was as marketed, that applied evenly to my skin and diffused easily along the edges for a soft, watercolor-like effect. The […]
Merit Beverly Hills Flush Balm Cream BlushMerit Beverly Hills Flush Balm Cream Blush ($ 28.00 for 0.31 oz.) is a soft, pinky-coral with subtle, warm undertones and a glossy finish. It had a very emollient consistency that was thin (not in a bad way) and had a lot of slip, though it applied quite well […]
Tower 28 Happy Hour BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Cream BlushTower 28 Happy Hour BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Cream Blush ($ 20.00 for 0.158 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark pink with warmer undertones and a dewy finish. The texture felt lightly emollient, more like a traditional cream blush so it wasn’t too thin or too slippery, […]
The consistency was smooth, lightly creamy with enough slip to make it blendable and spreadable over bare skin as well as over foundation, but it didn’t sheer out so much that it lost its coverage. It built up readily, too, which made coverage range from semi-sheer to mostly opaque–very flexible and versatile. As a blush, […]
Morning Light ColourPop Morning Light Pixie Puff Highlighter ($ 15.00 for 0.44 oz.) is a light, peachy gold with strong, warm undertones and a pearly sheen with faint sparkle throughout. It had sheer, buildable coverage, which seemed as designed, though as a loose-format product, the coverage depended more on how much product one picked up […]
Vesta Clionadh Vesta Powder Highlighter ($ 12.50 for 0.21 oz.) is a medium-dark peach with warmer, more orange undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. The texture felt more loosely pressed and a little drier, but I didn’t see an impact to the actual application as the powder applied evenly, blended out well, and had a […]

Tantalize Glo Marc Jacobs Beauty Tantalize Glo O!Mega x Three Powder Blush-Bronze-Highlighter Palette ($ 49.00 for 0.86 oz.) includes a matte blush, matte bronzer, and shimmery highlighter. Nothing was particularly impressive; the bronzer was drier applied (even though it felt nice!) than the standalone version, which was a surprise. The blush was the best product […]
Becca Luminary (1) Light Shifter Dewing TintBecca Luminary (1) Light Shifter Dewing Tint ($ 30.00 for 1 oz.) is a light beige with warmer, peachy undertones and a luminous sheen. It had sheer color payoff, which was as expected, when used all-over (as a tinted moisturizer) and more semi-sheer to medium coverage when I applied […]
ColourPop Fashion District Pressed Powder Blush ($ 8.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a brighter, medium brown with warm, more orange undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had more opaque color coverage, rather than buildable as marketed, but it was easy to apply with a lighter hand and build up coverage if desired. The texture was […]
