Flare
Lethal Cosmetics Flare Magnetic Pressed Highlighter ($18.00 for 0.18 oz.) is a light-medium copper with warm, reddish-brown undertones and a luminous sheen. It appeared more metallic when initially swatched but applied and blended out on my cheeks; it was a softer glow that never emphasized my skin’s natural texture.
The powder felt smooth, almost creamy to the touch, without being powdery nor too firmly pressed into the pan. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer but could be applied with a lighter hand or diffused more heavily for a sheerer level of coverage. There were signs of fading after eight hours of wear.

Formula Overview
$18.00/0.18 oz. – $100.00 Per Ounce
The formula should have a “radiant glow” that is “never glittery” and long-wearing. The pigmentation ranged from semi-opaque to opaque, but all were buildable if desired. The texture was soft, smooth, and blendable without being too firm or too loosely pressed, making it easy to adjust pressure or use feathery and denser brushes to change the application results.
The finish was more luminous and glowing without being overtly shimmery for most shades. I had no issues with the formula emphasizing my skin’s natural texture.
