If/when you try any of these on, look into a mirror if you can, and turn your head to see your cheeks from different angles. I think the look is similar to what I get when I layer a matte blush on top of a highlighter - that same sort of radiant, natural luminescence and dimensionality - but in this case it’s from the Ambient Powders peeking through the blush.
