Makeup Revolution’s Vivid Baked Highlighter in Rose Gold

ColourPop’s Lippie Stix in Baewatch

Fyrinnae’s Arcane Magic: Aphrodite’s Evening Gown

This color reminds me of Urban Decay’s Ransom and Asphyxia, and a bit of Sephora’s Mauve Shimmer. This is a deeper purple, but the lighter coverage combined with the blue interference make it look more like it’s glowing than intense.
