Riches
Vieve Riches Nova Glow Highlighter ($37.50 for 0.42 oz.) is a medium-dark copper with warmer, more orange undertones and lighter, golden copper shimmer throughout. It had a more metallic finish that was somewhat emphasizing of my skin’s natural texture, so it wasn’t the most forgiving highlighting formula I’ve come across.
It was richly pigmented with a moderately-dense, slightly firmer texture that felt a touch on the dry side–almost like the shimmer was less blended with the base color, which may have attributed to the texture emphasis I experienced. I didn’t have any issues picking up product on my brush, and the powder did blend out well along the edges. It wore decently for eight hours on me before fading visibly.

The powder highlighter formula is supposed to have “the texture of a powder but the finish of a cream” so it “blends seamlessly into skin.” The powder was denser, slightly thicker, and more firmly-pressed into the pan, though I didn’t have any issues picking up color with a traditional, tapered highlighting brush.
The highlighters had mostly opaque to opaque pigmentation with a more metallic finish that was slightly emphasizing of my skin’s texture. I did not feel like it sat on my skin like a cream or “seamlessly.” The formula was blendable, though, and lasted around eight hours on me.
