Helios (High Intensity) Kosas Helios (High Intensity) Color and Light Palette ($34.00 for 0.32 oz.) is the more pigmented version of the duo, which includes a bright, orange blush paired with a golden copper highlighter.

It had more medium coverage, which could be built up with a second layer to have more semi-opaque coverage if desired, but I felt like the product was most comfortable to wear with just one layer. The color applied fairly evenly, but it wasn’t the most impressive within the range that I’ve tried. The best part about it was the longevity, as it stained my lips a reddish hue over time, but the shine and actual color lasted for five hours well and felt hydrating while worn.
