Glowing Pretty

The next generation of highlighters have veered away from the obvious streak of brightness in lieu of a natural luminescence. There’s been a rise of fine-milled multidimensional illuminators that provide a soft-focus effect as well as dewy liquid formulas for mixing with foundation and balms to create a wet-finish glow effect. From pink, golden and bronze hues to holographic effects, there’s a plethora of formulas to recreate the coveted holiday glow.
