There is a more noticeable difference in the highlighter side for the High Intensity colors. If I look closely I see subtle differences in the undertone.

In the Florida heat this doesn’t hold up outdoors. It’s more like a skincare product rather than a base. I can wear something that’s luminous but since this is an oil it’s very dewy and sheer. This is not my favorite product in the line as I can’t wear super dewy products on the face.
