Creamy luxurious glow

This highlighter has a very creamy and soft texture. I have seen many pictures of this highlighter arriving smashed because the powder is so soft. This soft and creamy texture blends into the skin seamlessly, almost like a cream. This is ideal for both the body and the face because it can make the g...low look much more natural. The highlighter is quite pigmented and a little bit goes a very long way. I recommend using a small brush or a fan brush and I recommend picking up very little product.  This highlighter can be built and layered to be very intense and very opaque, making it great as an eyeshadow. The very fine shimmer in this highlighter makes it look very seamless on the skin and it doesn't emphasize texture on the skin. If anything, it makes your skin look flawless because the shimmer is so fine and the finish is so soft. I feel like even when I apply it heavily on my cheekbones, it seems to blur and perfect that area! This almost never happens with highlighters, which often start to emphasize pores and texture as soon as it is applied. I was not expecting this perfecting effect on the skin and I am so impressed! I think the creamy texture is responsible for this seamless application and finish to the skin.  The wear time is excellent on this formula because it adheres well to the skin and blends in as part of your base, this highlighter last beyond 8 hours on the skin. This highlighter also photographs really well on the skin. Like I stated previously, the finish and the glow is very soft so, when captured by the camera, it doesn't look stark or too reflective. It just imparts the perfect and most natural beam of light to the skin.  I didn't know what to expect from this highlighter. Owning another CT holiday highlighter I thought it was going to be your standard powder highlighter but after using it, it is superior to your standard highlighter formula! The creamy texture of this highlighter allows it to truly blend into the skin and becomes part of it, instead of sitting on the surface of the skin. This ensures the most seamless application and flawless finish to the skin! I have found myself gravitating toward cream highlighters lately because powders can make my dry skin look unflattering at times but this powder highlighter is almost a hybrid of a cream and powder. It should work perfectly on all skin types, which is impressive!  I am very impressed with this formula and I highly recommend this highlighter! Not only is the quality of this formula exceptional and unique, but you also get so much product! Maybe someday I'll get through it but I am certainly enjoying every moment of using this highlighter! This is a winner and I'm hoping it is a permanent part of the CT collection.
