Kaleidos Moon Cruiser Area Age Highlighter ($14.00 for 0.10 oz.) has a translucent base with duochrome shifting shimmer and faint sparkle that went from icy blue to cooler to barely hotter lavender. It had a really wet-look when utilized to reveal pores and skin, because it was shiny and twinkling. It had medium, buildable pigmentation that utilized evenly to reveal pores and skin and blended out pretty effectively, although I discovered it was extra vulnerable to caking up towards medium protection basis so I’d advocate making use of over set basis.
The feel was firmer, barely stiff within the pan, however I used to be in a position to choose it up with a moderately-dense blush brush with out an excessive amount of effort. It lasted effectively for eight hours earlier than fading visibly.

The system is meant to have “vibrant, color-shifting” shades which have an “ultra-lightweight, clean texture that virtually melts onto pores and skin.” They’re described as being “translucent but spotlight reflective” with a “multi-chrome end.” I had totally different experiences throughout the vary, so it was not probably the most constant of ranges. They did, on common, apply somewhat higher in observe than they appeared initially swatched.
For probably the most half, the regularly-priced ($14 on the time of publishing) shades have been extra like intense duochromes than true multi-chromes to me, and I do assume the worth displays that (as their true multichromes are $36 every). They’d translucent bases throughout the board with some shades having stronger preliminary protection than others, however they produced a noticeable sheen and shift on my pores and skin.
The feel was what assorted from shade to shade with some shades feeling drier, nearly crumbly, and being significantly vulnerable to emphasizing pores and skin texture, despite the fact that I haven’t got that a lot seen texture on my cheeks (this isn’t a typical problem for me, it could occur however it’s rare that I actually really feel a highlighter emphasizes my texture!) whereas different shades have been firmer however utilized extra easily on my pores and skin.
I appreciated the tones and shade vary extra so than the system, however a few shades have been actually beautiful to work with. They tended to put on round eight hours on my pores and skin earlier than fading visibly, although the chunkier, extra sparkly shades had seen migration across the six-hour mark.
