I saw a difference of how good my skin looked after I applied the setting powder compared to before I applied it. This does have very tiny shimmers in it, which is why I use it as an all over setting powder and due to the shade being my skin tone. ...I found this setting powder to be absolutely beautiful. It has a really nice shimmer to it, which I don't typically use in my powders.

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.

Glitter Powders
“Creamy powder that melts like a gooey filter over the skin without feeling heavy or containing glitter/shimmer”
Shimmer Bronzers
“I love this product, it’s an elevated version of all the bronzers and blushes I’ve used over the years. It’s a tad more orangey than I hoped but the matte and shimmer shades in one palette is a perfect balance”
Shimmer Blush
“Stunning highlighter that gives a wet looking without the shimmers or glitter! Once it’s blended, it sets and won’t budge”
Shimmer Moisturizers
“It also has a very subtle shimmer to it which gives it that "glow" - I normally don't like shimmer, but it is subtle enough for me and is nice during the summer. ”
Makeup With Shimmer
“This is a light shimmer color that is nice and easily applied on eyelids (I dab and then use my finger to blend a bit”
Shimmer Stick
“I don't have the oiliest lids, but usually with shimmers shadow sticks I get some fading throughout the day”
Face Shimmer
“It really makes your face shimmer in just the right places”
Shimmer Eyeshadow Palette
“This is a beautiful eyeshadow palette. All of these colours are nice and wearable my favourite part of the palette is the mattes - they’re very blendable and complement my warmer skin tone”
Metallic Shimmer Eyeshadow
“The mattes are pigmented and blend easily, and the shimmers and metallics are smooth and shiny. They show up nicely on deep skin and they last all day without fading”
Glitter Makeup
“A little too expensive for what you get (1 color and glittery coating). The stick shadow is the star to me as the glitter topper pulls the color off that you just put down plus starts to crease after about 20 minutes”
