Multi-Dimensional Glow & Natural Contouring

Highlighting:

• Calcium Aluminum/Titanium Borosilicate adds a soft-focus, ethereal glow that mimics natural light.

Contouring:

• CI 77491/77499 (Iron Oxides) create neutral-to-warm undertones for realistic shadows, perfect for sculpting cheekbones, jawlines, and noses.

Silky, Blendable Texture

Smooth Application:

• Talc and Dimethicone ensure a weightless, seamless blend (no patchiness or drag).
• Nylon-12 in some shades, minimizes fallout, making it ideal for precise contouring.

Hydration Balance:

• Ethylhexyl Palmitate and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride prevent dryness, even on combination or dry skin.

Long-Lasting Wear

Locked-In Pigment:

• Synthetic Wax and Polymethicone resist sweat, humidity, and fading for all-day wear.
