Make Up For Ever
MAKE UP FOR EVER - COMPACT SHINE ON
Iridescent Compact Powder
Compact Shine On creates a natural looking and delicate satin-like iridescence on all skin types. Its silky texture ensures a natural and even application. Applied in gentle strokes, it adds contours to the face and, depending on the chosen shade, can be used as blush or to add highlights. Brings shimmers to your complexion thanks to fine light-reflecting mother-of-pearl particles.
Comes in 4 different shades
Apply with a powder puff or Powder Brush, on a powdered or unpowdered face, or on bare skin.
Advice:
Avoid application near the eye contours, on dry or wrinkled skin to avoid emphasizing the lines.
Use light or dark Iridescent Compact Powders to remodel and sculpt the face using light and shadows, in combination with blush.
Use a shade slightly darker than the skin tone as a blush to lighten up the complexion.

Nylon Powder, Ceramides, Ester of isononanoic acid, Silicone Oil, Star Powder and Diamond Powder, Kaolin,
Dermatologist tested.
