Anu
Clionadh Anu Powder Highlighter ($12.50 for 0.21 oz.) swirls together to create a pale silver with a warmer sheen at certain angles paired with a metallic finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable coverage, which was more in line with the brand’s marketing.
The texture was moderately dense, slightly firmer in the pan, but it was easy enough to pick up with a brush and blended out without difficulty. The finish was particularly shiny, though it stopped shy of emphasizing my skin’s natural texture. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview
$12.50/0.21 oz. – $59.52 Per Ounce
There’s not much that describes the formula other than it has a “soft, buildable application.” They tended to be quite pigmented–semi-opaque to fully opaque–with soft, smoother textures that weren’t too dense nor too softly-pressed into the pan. For sheerer or more buildable application, I’d highly recommend using a lighter hand a less-dense brush to do so.
The texture was typically smooth, slightly dense and a bit thicker than most powder highlighters on the market, so they often needed to be really buffed and diffused on the skin. The finishes were often more intense, leaning toward metallic, and occasionally, they emphasized my skin’s natural texture when worn at higher coverage levels. They wore between eight and nine hours on me for the most part.
