Give Me Glow White Noise Pressed Highlighter Review & Swatches

White Noise

Give Me Glow White Noise Pressed Highlighter ($17.25 for 0.28 oz.) is a light, yellowy beige with a high-shine, metallic sheen. There was a “dirty” quality to the color, which made it almost silvery at some angles. It had rich pigmentation in a single layer, which picked up well with a brush and applied well to bare skin as the powder was blendable and easy to use.

The texture was smooth to the touch, lightly emollient and almost-cream like it was so finely-milled. Of the shades in the range, this one wasn’t quite as intensely metallic from the get-go but could be layered for a greater intensity in finish. It stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview

$17.25/0.28 oz. - $61.61 Per Ounce

The formula is described as being "finely-milled," "highly pigmented," "non-glittery," and as having "extreme shine." They are incredibly intense, highly metallic, and very richly pigmented highlighters. If you're someone who prefers a softer sheen, more buildable highlighters, or tends to be heavier handed, this formula may not be a good fit. If you're someone who can't get enough shimmer and shine and prefers very pigmented cheek products, this formula will deliver.

The finish ranged from lightly metallic to intensely metallic, and as a result, some shades were more prone to emphasizing my skin texture when worn at more medium to semi-opaque (or higher) coverage. Most shades were fully opaque with very little product needed--a little went a long way for sure! They were not glittery, as the shimmer was geneerally finer and lived up more to the "extreme shine" claim made by the brand.

The consistency was smooth, almost cream-like, and had a fragility to it that made me prefer using a brush that was more rounded and then tapping it against the surface or lightly swirling but no pushing forward or else I felt I got way too much product for a single application. If you're familiar with the brand's eyeshadows, the highlighters felt similar to me, just with a slightly less firm press in comparison. For most shades, they applied evenly and blended out without much effort.

The shades lasted between eight and nine hours on me before showing signs of fading.
