MAC Get Lit Hyper Real Glow Palette Review & Swatches

Get Lit

MAC Get Lit Hyper Real Glow Palette ($39.50 for 0.45 oz.) is a new trio of very light-hued shades in icy white, pale pink, and soft gold (almost a very golden beige). All three shades performed similarly; they were pigmented, long-wearing, and blendable, while the formula is slightly denser/firmer (but very smooth and finely-milled) and works better with light to moderately-dense brushes. The standard, tapered highlighting brush style works well with them but more feathery-tipped fan brushes may not pick up product as evenly as desired.

Like a Dream

Like a Dream is a bright, bluish-white with cool undertones and a metallic sheen. The highlighter had opaque pigmentation in one layer, which applied well to bare skin with a smooth, even application that blended out without difficulty. It didn’t emphasize my skin’s natural texture even at higher coverage levels. The texture felt soft and smooth to the touch but was a slightly denser, firmer powder (no powderiness or excess kicked up in the pan) that worked best with less feathery brushes (typical highlighter and blush brushes worked fine with it). This shade lasted well on my cheeks for eight and a half hours before it started to fade.

Get Lit

Get Lit is a bright, pale pink with subtle, cool undertones and a metallic sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation with a smooth, slightly denser consistency that worked best with a moderately dense brush if one wanted more coverage. The powder blended out easily on my skin and didn’t emphasize my skin’s natural texture. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before fading noticeably.

Gleam Sheen

Gleam Sheen is a pale gold with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had nearly opaque color payoff in a single layer, which adhered evenly and blended out easily on my cheekbone, and the finish didn’t accentuate my skin’s natural texture. The powder had a smooth, denser consistency that wasn’t too firmly-pressed in the pan, so it picked up well with standard highlighting brushes (like the typical tapered shape). It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.
