Glo Skin Beauty Skin Glow Powder Highlighter - Cognac

A mineral powder that highlights the areas of your face where the light hits, without glitter or harsh shimmer.

Why it works

The difference between a beautiful glow and a layer of glitter lies in the size of the particles. Coarse particles reflect light in points, which is what we perceive as glitter. The particles in this powder are fine and pearlescent, which allows them to diffuse light. The result looks like skin glowing from within.

The formula contains vitamin C, an antioxidant that protects the skin against environmental stressors, and niacinamide, which supports the moisture barrier and makes the skin appear smoother. Mineral pigments, talc-free.

The texture is satin-soft and buildable, from a hint of shimmer to a distinct glow.

Who it's for

For skin that looks dull or tired. Also great for mature skin: light on the top of your cheekbone optically lifts your face.

If you have visible pores or imperfections on your cheeks, you can still use it, but only high on the cheekbone and on your brow bone, not over the area itself.

How to use it

Take a small brush, tap off excess, and apply the glow to the top of your cheekbone, your brow bone, the inner corner of your eye, and the bridge of your nose. You can also use it as a shimmering eyeshadow or on your collarbones and décolletage.

Works beautifully over a highlighter stick: that provides the base glow, while the powder sets the accents.

About this shade

Cognac is the deepest and warmest of the three: a bronze glow that continues to brighten medium to deep skin tones where a light gold shade might disappear.

My advice to you

Highlighter belongs on the areas where the light already hits you, not everywhere you like. Stand in front of a window and see where the light falls: those are your exact spots. Usually, there are four, not ten.

And apply it high. A highlighter on the center of your cheek catches light in the area where your skin is least smooth, which is exactly the opposite of what you want.
