Paper-Applicator Cosmetics

Sephora Shimmer Sheets Provide Portable Sheen

Sephora 'Shimmer Sheets' are the company's newest way to make getting pretty more convenient. Operating much like a blotting sheet, the paper-thin cosmetics provide sheen instead of taking it away.

Test-driven by NYLON magazine editors, the set is an effective way to give natural-looking highlighting to cheeks. Highlighters are notoriously difficult to use. Whether unnatural-looking, difficult to apply or plain unnecessary, Sephora's sheets are an easy way to brighten things up. Though a bit pricey, selling at $16, the shimmering papers are said to last a long time and are essentially foolproof. What is perhaps the best aspect of the product is that it actually removes oil and replaces it with a prettier shine-free sheen.

Convenient, mess-free and long-lasting, these shimmer sheets are a brilliant debut for year-round color and a welcomed update to blotting paper.
