Vesta
Clionadh Vesta Powder Highlighter ($ 12.50 for 0.21 oz.) Is a medium-dark peach with warmer, orange undertones and a sparkling metallic finish. The texture felt loosely pressed and a little drier, but I didn’t see any impact on the actual application as the powder was applied evenly, faded out well, and had a nice sheen that didn’t emphasize my skin texture.
It had a semi-opaque, buildable color payout that was slightly higher than the market but closer to describing the brand than many of the other hues in the formula. This shade stayed well on for eight and a half hours before visibly 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 highlighters 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.
