Pat McGrath Xtreme Gold 002 Sublime Skin Highlighter Review & Swatches

Xtreme Gold 002

Pat McGrath Xtreme Gold 002 Sublime Skin Highlighter ($60.00 for 0.42 oz.) is a rich, deeper gold with subtle, warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It was quite pigmented where a little went a long way.

The texture was smooth, firm but not stiff, and blendable, though it’ll work best with a moderate-handed approach and/or a moderately-dense brush due to the gel-powder formula (which is inherently firmer in the pan but does this nice “melting” bit when blended out on skin). It wore well for eight and a half hours before showing signs of fading.
