If you’re swimming in highlighters, you’re not alone. The beauty brands you know and love have been bombarding the market with their own takes on shimmer, glimmer, and glowing powders, liquids, and creams. But while they may be pretty, they probably contain more shimmer than skin care. That’s what sets the Josie Maran Argan Moonstone Drops ($48) apart from the rest. Just like the other products in her beloved line, the former model and current green beauty guru infused this liquid highlighter with her brand’s star ingredient: argan oil.
The superstar ingredient ensures that the formula is perfect for all skin types. So while powders may not be perfect for dry skin and creams may make oily faces look more greasy than glowy, this fast-absorbing and universally flattering liquid doesn’t sit on the skin, it offers up that elusive, ethereal lit-from-within look. Plus, the liquid formula makes it versatile, too. Mix it in with foundation to create a dewy, allover finish or dab it in over a lipstick for a bit of glow on your lips.
However you use it, know that you’re quenching your skin with antioxidants via the formula’s base of Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil Light, so when you take off your makeup at the end of the day, it’ll look better than before. The addition of lavender essential oil calms skin and the formula’s priming pearls make it perfect for using on top of makeup or underneath. Glow never looked so good, especially with all the good-for-you ingredients that come standard with all of Maran’s offerings.
Available at Sephora.
