In-Depth Look at the Highlighter Formula
$12.00/0.21 oz. – $57.14 Per Ounce
The ColourPop pressed powder highlighter is designed to offer a “high-shine” finish paired with remarkable color intensity. Generally, ColourPop’s highlighter powders have a smooth, moderately dense texture that is soft enough for effortless brush pickup while minimizing powder kick-up in the pan. This formula ranges from semi-opaque to fully opaque, allowing you to easily sheer out the product for a more subtle glow if desired. While a few shades may accentuate natural skin texture, most deliver a flawlessly smooth finish. You’ll find that the wear time spans between seven and a half to nine hours, ensuring you maintain that beautiful glow throughout the day.
