Forget dull and dusty—we’re going full wattage.
1. NARS Light Reflecting Eyeshadow in ‘Orgasm Spark’
A shimmering peach-pink with golden flecks that’s basically a sunset for your eyelids. Bonus? It doubles as a cheek highlighter.
2. CHANEL Lumière de L’Extrait Illuminating Powder
Think: supermodel skin in a compact. One sweep and you’re Giselle in St. Barts. Ethereal, radiant, untouchable.
3. Smashbox Halo Sheer to Stay Color Tint
