Did the Goldilocks of highlighters just drop?
While everyone loves a subtle glow (especially during the summer), finding the perfect illuminating product can be a challenge. Some are way too glittery or gritty, while others vanish quickly.
Of course, one doesn’t become a makeup legend like Bobbi Brown without knowing a few tricks of the trade — which is why her latest Jones Road launch combines shimmer with skin care.
Today, the brand debuts Bright Skin Illuminating Drops, and like molten metals bottled, the hydrating, soft sheen is just right.
Made with aloe vera, glycerin, fruit extracts and more, the formula keeps skin hydrated while imparting a subtly gorgeous glow.
There’s a full range of six shades for any complexion, and it can be used in so many ways: on the eyes, the collarbone, even the Cupid’s bow.
Highlighter is typically applied to the high parts of cheeks, right where years of smiling in the sun cause little crinkles. Often, a powder or metallic highlighter will exacerbate skin texture there.
But Bright Skin Illuminating Drops go on like serum and keep skin smooth all day. Replacing the brand’s Shimmer Face Oil, the new drops are dewy and hydrating rather than oily — and layer beautifully with the brand’s best-selling Miracle Balm.
The cosmetics magnate is a makeup artist at heart, so it’s no wonder veteran supermodels like Paulina Porizkova, Cindy Crawford and Christie Brinkley love her line.
I tried the Rose Gold and Champagne shades, and you can see the sheer wash of illumination they provide on my arm. Both colors are buildable; I layered them a little heavier here, but I just use a few drops during the daytime.
They have already become a part of my makeup rotation — even on days I’m not wearing much — to breathe life into my skin without looking like I tried.
If you’re looking for a modern summer-in-a-bottle glow, you know where to find it.
