Urban Decay Afterglow 8-Hour Powder Highlighter in Sin.

Product & Colour: 

The Urban Decay Afterglow 8-Hour Powder Highlighter in Sin is a pale champagne gold with a shimmer finish. The texture is buttery with strong shimmer finish when applied to the skin. This formula also does a nice job of applying evenly but you can still defuse the shades on the skin without going patchy and stop it from looking too frosty.

Wear: On the cheeks, it lasts 10 hours before noticing any fading but the colour is still there after 16 hours.

Packaging:

The compact is steel grey with a lactic plate on the inside of the UD window to show the colour a bit and a match label shade on the back. This has a nice magnetic closure.

Daylight & Flash swatches: Afterglow 8-Hour Powder Highlighter in Sin, applied heavy and blended out.
