It sometimes seems like it is a competition among brands to see who can deliver the most prismatic makeup products. Things have evolved from subtle shimmering finishes to duochrome, pigment-packed products that outshine diamonds. Thankfully for us, this means that we have plenty to choose from. We can now get iridescent beauty products at the drugstore, department stores and online. Colored highlighters, rainbow highlighters and holographic eye and lip products are now almost as easy to find as red lipstick.
So, take full advantage of the range of holographic makeup out there and use them to get your own out-of-this-world glow.
