What Is “Lowlighter” for Your Cheeks? Meet Makeup Artist Danessa Myricks’ Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Lowlighter

We’ve heard of lowlights in the hair, but for cheeks? That’s a new one. In Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Lowlighter, a unique balm-to-powder formula, “lowlights” refers to a natural-looking glow and soft-focus effect (thanks to a very cool blurring ingredient called upsalite) without an obvious I’m-wearing-highlighter vibe. “Upsalite is an innovative blurring ingredient that makes skin look filtered,” says Allure’s Angela Trakoshis. It’s a subtle way to get glowing—perfect for revving up your makeup for spring. The “lowlighter” comes in a pretty range of golden shades—mauve-pink Unothered, peachy Lowkey, and tan Incognito. Swirl one onto cheeks—and anywhere else you want to glow, like the tip of your nose and chin—with a brush (a blush brush works well).
