The highlight is a fine shimmer and not glittery or chunky. This is one to keep in your makeup kit, I bought back up bc, as most companies do, they seem to get rid of the most amazing products and this particular product is no longer being sold at some places where it was previously....When the sun hits, you see little shimmers. Great for a sun kissed look.

What else you need to know:
This product is dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested and non-acnegenic. After adding product on your brush, mist brush with Prep + Prime Fix + and apply to high planes of face for a more intense, metallic highlight.
