Give Me Glow Late Night Coastin Pressed Highlighter Review & Swatches

Late Night Coastin

Give Me Glow Late Night Coastin Pressed Highlighter ($17.25 for oz.) is a light-medium peach with a darker base and lighter gold and mid-depth copper shimmer throughout. Depending on the angle, the base sometimes was more apparent and gave it a more noticeable color on my skin, and at other angles, it was all bright highlight.

It had nearly opaque color coverage that was easily built up to full coverage if desired. The texture was soft, more loosely-pressed but still emollient and almost cream-like, so the powder tended to come away more in small clumps than fine powder. The highlighter applied well to bare skin and blended out without trouble. It lasted well for eight hours before fading visibly.

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.
