Three new glow powders in colors that are not necessarily “natural”, but could be quite interesting. There’s also always the option to use these as sheer eyelight colors, which I do quite often with the various body powders from this and that vendor - especially if they’re too dark or the wrong color to work well on my cheeks.

This collection contained:

• Future — sheer cherry-red sheen
• Past — sheer bronze-gold sheen
• Present — sheer silver-white sheen with pink iridescence

Future was very sheer, but could be used as a blush all on its own when you wanted a hint of color, or wanted to more noticeably warm up a cooler shade. You'd have to put it on wet, and with a heavy hand, to get more pigmented coverage. It would look good added over a matte blush, or brushed over a lip color.

Past was the most pigmented and the most opaque of the three. Unlike Future, which will only really work on the lips or cheeks, Past would work as a brow highlighter. If you have paler skintones, you'd have to work with a very light touch, I think, to get this to work as a blush-sheen. It might look lovely with deeper-toned folks - I've always been fairly pale, so I'm guessing here.

Present...surprised me greatly! In the picture and in the sample bag, it looks a bit like a silver-white metallic powder (similar to Aromaleigh v1's Astonish eyeshadow.) When I applied it, I was reminded of Hope buxom: white/sheer, with pink iridescence. I'm going to get this in fullsize, and I would love to see them do a purple and a blue version of this next year. It won't necessarily provide much blush color on its own, but it will work well as a highlighter, or to add a gorgeous iridescent wash to any blush, eyeshadow look, or even lip color.
