Formula Overview
$14.00/0.53 oz. – $26.42 Per Ounce
The Sun Glow Highlighter formula is supposed to have a “creamy powder” texture and “ultra-fine pearl” formula to give “glowing skin.” It had a noticeable coconut scent when the commpact is open, though I did not get much scent when I wore the products.
The consistency was smooth, more velvety with good glide/slip, though they still felt like a powder product. The coverage was semi-opaque to opaque and buildable to boot, while the finish was less pearly as it was quite sparkly–if you don’t like “glittery” highlighters, you won’t like these. On the other hand, if you like high-shine, sparkle, and glow, then these delivered on all three.
I felt like they were a bit more prone to emphasizing skin texture as a result, since they start at a mega-level of glow. They wore eight hours on me before showing signs of fading.
