Sydney Grace Keep It a Secret Highlighter Review & Swatches
Keep It a Secret
Sydney Grace Keep It a Secret Highlighter ($12.00 for 0.25 oz.) is a light-medium pink with moderately warm, yellow undertones and a pearly sheen. It had rich color payoff with a smooth, lightly creamy texture that was more firmly-pressed in the pan but wasn’t too dense or too thick. I had no trouble picking it up with a typical blush or highlighting brush and applying the powder evenly to my cheeks. On my skin tone, it worked as a highlighting blush with a smoother, shinier finish that was noticeable but not quite metallic; it did not emphasize my skin’s natural texture. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before fading slightly.

Formula Overview
$12.00/0.25 oz. - $48.00 Per Ounce
The highlighters are supposed to be "smooth and pigmented" that "blend like a dream" and "last all day long." The majority of the shades in the range are incredibly pigmented with a creaminess to the texture that makes them a cinch to apply and blend out on my skin. I was most impressed by how soft, almost cream-like the powders were, yet they weren't too loosely-pressed nor were they prone to powderiness. Some of the finishes are very metallic or frosted, so when worn at semi-opaque or higher coverage levels, they can emphasize my skin's natural texture slightly. They have worn between eight and nine hours on me.
