Founder's Inspiration
Sheena has always loved the versatility and impact of liquid highlighters—but wanted to bring that same radiance to a powder format that’s effortless to use. Traditional powders often go too far: too opaque, too powdery, too much glitter. They can mask the skin, accentuate texture, and leave fallout behind. She set out to create something different: a talc- and silicone-free powder highlighter that lets your skin breathe and beam.

I am a big Kosas fan and really enjoy this! This Shiny Objects Wet Glisten highlighter powder for face and eyes is so pretty. It goes on very smoothly. It is buildable for the color/look you desire. The compact packaging is nice and not cheap. I wore it so far on my face and eyes. I really like this color, very neutral for everyday wear! Definitely recommend this to everyone!
- Jjordishordi_40841 week agoRated 5 out of 5 starsPretty!
It’s so pretty!! It feels and blends so nice and soft. It meshes nicely with my tone of skin, blends well and doesn’t sit on top of it if that makes sense? Totally will buy again.

It’s such a pretty color. Perfect for everyday use with just enough sparkle and shimmer. The formula is smooth and it dries down well. Easy to remove and also easy to blend.
- Jjuliet7e96_51702 weeks agoRated 5 out of 5 starsGreat warmth and pigment!
I love the warm tones in this highlighter! It’s going to be great as a dual highlighter and bronzer! I get really tan in the summers so my winter highlighters sometimes look a little too silvery. This goes on smooth and feels great as well!
- Mmarisad31_36202 weeks agoRated 5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely obsessed with this glow!
Kosas Shiny Objects Wet Glisten gives the most beautiful, skin-like luminosity. No chalkiness, no chunky glitter, just a smooth, wet-looking sheen. The formula melts into the skin and blends effortlessly, whether I use my fingers for a high shine or a brush for a softer glow. I use it on my cheeks, eyelids, inner corners, and even collarbones. It layers beautifully over creams and powders and never looks heavy or dry. If you want a natural, healthy glow that lets your skin shine through, this is a must have. I also love that there is no scent.
