My makeup routine is pretty basic. I typically don't wear much of it when I'm not working, and tend to stick to products that both look and feel super natural. Glossier makeup, with its "beauty in real life" mantra, falls easily into this category for me. I personally love that dewy look my skin gets after being out in the sun a bit, and highlighters are a great way to get that same glow, but without the sun damage! Glossier's Haloscope creates this dew-effect with two formulas in one: the outer ring is infused with crystal extracts for all-day enlightenment, while the the oil-based center boasts vitamin-rich moisturizers for a hydrated, dewy finish. I love that it isn't glittery or sticky in any way, but just adds the perfect, natural highlight to my cheek and brow bones. The topaz shade is great for achieving that post-beach sun-kissed glow, while Quartz is a bit lighter, adding a pearlescent highlight to wherever it's applied. The twist-up applicator makes it easy to toss in your bag and apply to your skin whenever you want that beautiful, yet subtle sheen.
