When the light hits 'Angels' on your cheekbones, what you see is the lighting up of individual glitter particles rather than just an overall glow on the skin. This is a very glittery highlighter, and it LOOKS like glitter on the skin. However, when you mix 'Angels' with an appropriately pale eye shadow (or another highlight) you can blend it to a glowy, wet sheen instead of a glitter-fest (so my money wasn't totally wasted!). However, the glitter gets EVERYWHERE. By the end of the day, there's a random spattering of glitter here and there all over your face. Even after makeup remover there's still glitter just, around. Everywhere. And when you're applying it, it'll end up on your fingers, clothes, and vanity table. Likewise, I wouldn't recommend it being applied anywhere but the cheekbones. Don't apply it on the nose, cupids-bow, inner-corner, or brow bone because it'll just move around and by the end the day be all over. Unless you use setting spray. Also, DO NOT apply with fingers or a sponge (unless you want full-on glitter galore on the skin), I would recommend using a (dense) brush for a sheen. Also, you should know that what colours you see in the palette is not how it looks on your skin! The undertones are what come through, not the overall colour. The hite shade applies looking purple-pink, the coral-pink shade in the middle applies looking bright gold and the ending purple shade applies looking like a blue-lavender. So just know you're not getting what you see! However, the colours are pale girl friendly!
