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!
