The color itself is a wonderful color, but the huge glitter chunks are a turnout. I know a lot of people uses this as a highlighter, but I really don't see that happening. Every time I dip my 217...

First time I read several reviews about this color. I was a bit afraid that this might not work on my eyes...(I'm NC 25-35). Especially when I heard that it's so damn glittery... Then I finally...

This is a gorgeous color, but the glitter in this is just too chunky. I would end up having it all over my face and clothes by the end of the day. Wish the glitter specks were just a bit finer.

This is a gorgeous blonde-gold sparkly shadow. One of my favorite base and highlight colors. It adds the perfect amount of golden sparkle- but it isn't too gold for my fair skin.

I was looking for a shimmery, champagne color that was warmer than Shroom and tried Retrospeck, but it's just a bit too gold and sparkly, rather than shimmery. I don't really wear it much, but...

I really wanted to try this so bad, but when I got it it was just ok for me. It's a nice color and all and looks nice , but just hasn't wowed me yet. It also leaves a lot of fine sparkle under my...

I really liked this color, it's a pretty champagne shade with lots of glittery specks and it made a wonderful highlighter for most of my eyeshadow colors (plum, teal, bronze, etc.)...What I didn't...

I do use retrospeck a lot, because I think it's a lovely shade to apply over deeper colours and give a gold effect that's not too in-your-face. I often apply it over patina or other light...

I am NC15 very pale. This looked horrible on me...like a ghostly pale colorless shimmer. There's far too many other shimmery colors out there I could use as a highlighter or a wash. This falls into...

I like this. a lot. In theory it's a beautiful golden beige with lots of glitter/shimmer. The problem is the fallout. By the end of the day (and sooner, even) I look like a glittery raccoon. Not...

Good highlighter. Can be chalky if applied too heavily. Definitely reminds me of a pale champagne. It's more showy than most would like, so use it at night. Great lustre effect!

It's a cool, pale yellow shade, I thought the texture was a frost, it's not lustre-like at all. Too yellow toned for my NW15 skin = looks terrible. Too bad, I'm still looking for that perfect sandy...
