Clionadh Electrocute Highlighter Review & Swatches

Electrocute

Clionadh Electrocute Powder Highlighter ($12.50 for 0.21 oz.) has a sheerer base (as described) with shimmer that shifted peach to peachy-coral with warm undertones and a luminous sheen. The base seemed to look almost bluish at times, and as it was designed to have a more transparent base, it would work well for layering to add a different shift to a blush.

The consistency was soft, smooth to the touch, not too firmly or too softly-pressed into the pan, so it was easy to pick up with an assortment of highlighting brushes. The powder applied evenly to bare skin and buffed out to a smooth sheen that didn’t emphasize my skin’s natural texture. It lasted well for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview

$12.50/0.21 oz. - $59.52 Per Ounce

There's not much that describes the formula other than it has a "soft, buildable application." They tended to be quite pigmented--semi-opaque to fully opaque--with soft, smoother textures that weren't too dense nor too softly-pressed into the pan. For sheerer or more buildable application, I'd highly recommend using a lighter hand a less-dense brush to do so.

The texture was typically smooth, slightly dense and a bit thicker than most powder highlighters on the market, so they often needed to be really buffed and diffused on the skin. The finishes were often more intense, leaning toward metallic, and occasionally, they emphasized my skin's natural texture when worn at higher coverage levels. They wore between eight and nine hours on me for the most part.
