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.
