Megaglo Highlighting Powder Precious Petals is a medium gold with warm yellow undertones and a metallic shine from Wet ‘n’ Wild. To add, it was a bolder, more noticeable highlighter; thus, it would be perfect for someone who loves intense over subtle highlighting. The formula is described as velvety smooth with a naturally brilliant shine. Moreover, although the powder was soft, blendable, and a little loose in the pan, it was simple to apply to the high points of the face and diffuse the colour.

- Blends seamlessly without moving the makeup underneath
Price: RM37.60
