All That Glow Is Not Illuminator

Yes!A highlighter and an illuminator are two separate things. While the highlighters accentuate the main focal points of your face, the Illuminator creates a natural glow on your face.

Even though illuminators and highlighters belong to the same family, application techniques make them different.

It will give the natural shine to your face.

We need to choose a suitable one in the countless varieties of illuminators. While running after the gloss of dewiness and glazed donut skin, we often need to choose the right products that are suitable for our skin to get a natural-looking skin texture and even glow across the skin, you need to put a correct illuminator as per your skin quality.
