Phytosurgence Mirrored Moonlight Spectral Shine Radiance Balm Review & Swatches

Phytosurgence Mirrored Moonlight Spectral Shine Radiance Balm

Mirrored Moonlight

Phytosurgence Mirrored Moonlight Spectral Shine Radiance Balm ($26.01 for 0.25 oz.) is a light, yellowy gold with moderate, warm undertones and a satin sheen.

  • Semi-opaque coverage
  • Firmer, stiffer texture (as designed/marketed)
  • Best with denser brush and heavier hand
  • Buffed onto skin evenly without lifting up base products
  • Long-wearing (8 hours)

Formula Overview

$26.01/0.25 oz. - $104.04 Per Ounce

It's supposed to be a "cream-to-powder formula" that "can be applied and treated like a pressed powder product." It is designed to give a "gentle veil of luminosity" rather than a "glow from space."

The brand recommends using a brush to apply it, though fingertips could be used; they say to avoid to pushing as it can cause the product to harden and become stiff over time. I liked using a denser, more flat-topped blush or highlighter brush for picking up and buffing product onto my skin with this formula.

It's an interesting texture, as it was, in fact, "dry to the touch" as they brand described. It felt more powder-like than cream-like, and typically, cream-to-powder has a creamier feel that dries down to a powder-like finish. Instead, these just had more glide than a traditional powder (and thus, no powderiness either).

They worked best on top of more hydrated skin or less-matte foundation, as I found that they didn't go on as seamlessly over medium-coverage, matte foundation--it looked drier and more powdery, though it softened and looked better after a few hours of wear. They looked particularly seamless, glowing but not overtly shimmery on bare skin and on lighter-coverage, dewier foundations (like a tinted moisturizer or anything with a more luminous finish).

The effect is really lovely for those who prefer a more hydrating/dewy base, whether that's bare skin or something else, though. It gives a "veil" of glow that delivers a subtle reflective quality that doesn't accentuate skin texture and really diffuses across the skin due to the more transparent base. They wore well for seven to eight hours before fading a bit.
