Auric Selentine Glow Lust Radiant Luminizer ($ 45.00 for 1.13 oz.) Is a light peach with moderate, warm undertones and a bright sheen. The texture was smooth, slightly creamy, and runny, but felt a bit thicker than most of the liquid lights I’ve tried, which seemed to have a slightly bigger impact when used as a standalone product. It was still a thinner product, however, so it blended well with moisturizers and foundations without affecting the coverage too much.
It had buildable cover that ranged from sheer to medium to semi-opaque (used alone, dabbed on the highlights). The finish was slightly moist and skin-like, but not overly shimmering. It worked well as a standalone highlighter for nine hours, and when I mixed it with foundation it didn’t seem to affect the longevity of my base.

Formula overview
$ 45.00 / 1.13 oz. – – $ 39.82 per ounce
The formula is intended to have a buildable cover so that it can be used “alone” or “mixed” with skin care / foundation, or “used as a highlighter on foundation”.
The consistency was creamy, slightly thicker than many liquid bulbs (but not heavy or too thick), and the base appeared to be more pigmented compared to other liquid bulbs as well.
It had a very fine pearl throughout, which gave the skin luminosity and a subtle to light shimmer with light moisture. The shimmer was almost undetectable when applied and spread as a stand-alone product, but it gave my skin a noticeable increase in shine, regardless of whether it was used alone or mixed.
It was easy to mix with moisturizer, foundation, and foundation, and it also worked well on the highlights of the face, whether my skin was bare or on the foundation. I had no problem lifting my base products – set and not set – when applied on top. It mostly dried out, kept track of the slight moisture, and wasn’t sticky.
As a standalone highlighter, it carried well for nine hours before it faded a little, and I didn’t notice any impact on longevity when combined with base products.
It felt more like a cross between Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Flawless Filter (which is thinner and slightly rounder by comparison and has a more pronounced pearl / shimmer) and Natasha Denona’s original Face Glow formula (which was a thicker, cream-colored consistency that squeezed out became) a tube and was very luminous, but not so visibly shimmering).
The reality is that when you are someone who mixes these types of products with moisturizers or foundations, differences are always minimized more and more (as they tend to hide themselves out like they’re supposed to). I wouldn’t expect this if you are still working your way through something else and enjoying that you would have to run to get this, but it’s definitely worth trying in the future if you like the idea of a more subtle shine but like that kind of product.
