The most common are the original luster dust, available in a rainbow of colours. Then you get petal dust, which produces deep colours with a matte finish. Next up is pearl dust, which, as the name suggests, creates a pearl-like translucent shimmer. Mixing this with petal dust can add colour and shine to your favourite drinks. One heads up on the luster dust situation, though: Make sure you add it to your cocktail last minute and serve immediately.
