How it works

The product works by providing a shimmery finish to the skin, thanks to its concentrated mica and pearl pigments which reflect light. Isododecane and isohexadecane serve to enhance the application texture, allowing the highlighter to glide smoothly over the skin. The hydrogenated styrene/isoprene copolymer creates a flexible film on the surface, ensuring the product stays in place once applied. Dimethicone and its crosspolymer form a silicone-based layer that conditions the skin and provides a smooth, even feel. Silica dimethyl silylate helps to thicken the formulation, maximizing the buildable coverage. Together, these ingredients are designed to deliver a radiant and luminous look.
