Festive sparkle 101
All-over, effortless glow
Achieve a gracefully radiant glow with just a touch of shimmer, perfect for enhancing your natural beauty without going over the top.
Chubby Stick Sculpting Highlight
A touch of glimmer. If you’re not quite ready to make your grand glitz entrance, use Chubby Stick Sculpting Highlight over makeup or on your bare skin.Thanks to light-reflecting optics that enhance luminosity, this will help bring out your features in a subtle yet stunning way. So yes — making an impact without looking too intense.
When applying, look for the areas on your face where light would naturally hit your skin. Think cheekbones, browbones, middle of the forehead, center of the chin, the cupid’s bow, and bridge of the nose. It’s long-wearing and oil-free, keeping your face looking fabulous into the wee hours of the night
Tip: Opt for matte blush and bronzer to complement your shimmery features.
