Faunus
Clionadh Faunus Powder Highlighter ($ 12.50 for 0.21 oz.) Swirls together to create a soft, silvery beige with a warmer, peach-colored shift at specific angles. The texture was smooth, slightly creamy, and denser, making it easier to use a lighter hand to get more buildable cover. However, I would describe that the coverage was opaque, which was more than marketed.
The powder was applied evenly to bare skin and polished to a radiant sheen that didn’t emphasize the natural texture of my skin. It carried well for eight and a half hours before noticeably fading.

There isn’t much that the formula describes other than that there is a “soft, buildable application”. They were usually quite pigmented – semi-opaque to completely opaque – with soft, smoother textures that weren’t pressed too tightly or too softly into the pan. For a sheer or more buildable application, I would highly recommend using a lighter hand and a less dense brush to do this.
The texture was usually smooth, slightly dense, and a little thicker than most powder highlighter pens on the market, so often they really needed to be buffed and spread over the skin. The surfaces were often more intense and tended to be metallic. Occasionally they would accentuate the natural texture of my skin when worn at higher coverage levels. Most of them lasted between eight and nine hours with me.
