Clionadh Tropico Fruitlighter Review & Swatches

Tropico

Clionadh Tropico Fruitlighter ($18.00 for 0.10 oz.) has a medium, cotton candy pink base with lots and lots of shimmer that shifted from gold to peach to slightly greenish-gold paired with a high-shine, very metallic finish. For those wary of more intense highlighters or have issues with shimmer emphasizing skin texture, I suspect that will be an issue with this shade as it always emphasized my skin’s natural texture a bit, even when worn at a sheerer coverage level.

The texture of the powder itself was smooth, soft, and blendable, with nary a thing to complain about, but it just didn’t translate as forgivingly over my skin. As these can be used as eyeshadows as well, it would be just fine there as it was quite pigmented (a little went a long way!). It lasted well for nine hours before fading noticeably.
