Highlighter Heaven: Prorance Finish Water Glow Skinfinish

Sometimes, like the unassuming arrival of a soul mate, I find the most amazing products when I am not looking for anything particular. Just minding my own business, when out of the abyss emerges something totally beautiful. In this case, the treasure at hand was Prorance's Finish Water Glow Skinfinish in shade M13. The "out of the blue" factor was truly elevated with this purchase, as I nabbed it at my local Korean supermarket. Ok, yes, I did realize there was a makeup shop upstairs, but the true mission of my visit was for Sriracha and aloe juice, so a makeup buy was not at the forefront of my mind (I swear!).

With the appearance of some kind of celestial orb, Prorance Finish Water Glow #M13 is a lovely highlighting powder with a silvery-white base and multicoloured veins of peach, green, and purple. It reminded me a lot of MAC Lightscapade Mineralize Skinfinish, which I've been admiring for years but never purchased. I'm actually glad I waited for the Prorance version to come my way because I can't imagine Lightscapade being any better!

Here are a couple photos of the colourful box...

And a couple of the compact itself. It comes in sleek silver packaging with a lid embossed with an elegantly scripted "P" (for Prorance!).

The compact contains a separate level for an included brush, which is surprisingly soft and excellent for applying the product to the cheekbones, brow bones, and bridge of my nose. 

And one more of the powder itself... So beautiful!

In terms of colour and finish, this highlighter offers a highly shimmery (but not glittery) white sheen with a hint of silver. Just enough to give a pronounced glow, but without that overly gaudy and cool-toned disco ball effect. Even though my skin has neutral-warm undertones, this complements my skin nicely, despite the cool, icicle-like effect it gives. 

Here are some swatches of it, on the left, more densely and on the right, blended out:

I'm hoping to do a Look of the Day using this shortly, so you can see just how stunning it looks on the face. Overall, I'm so happy that I picked this up on a whim because it has become a standout product in my collection. Another Korean product that has exceeded my expectations!

Thanks for reading :)
