Gel-Cream Highlighters

Pat McGrath Labs' ChromaLuxe Hi-Light Cream Illuminates the Eyes & Face

Pat McGrath Labs newly introduced its ChromaLuxe Hi-Light Cream as a glittering gel-cream highlighter that creates multi-dimensional shine with pearlescent pigments. The product is available in both gold and blue formulas, both of which are said to be easy to apply with the fingers or a brush. Notably, these colors offer consumers an alternative to the many shades that are neutral or bronze-toned.

Thanks to its unique formula and texture, the product boasts long-lasting staying power and intensity when applied to the eyes, lips and face. The versatile ChromaLuxe Hi-Light Cream can be used across the eyelids, in the inner corner of the eye, just under the brow bone or even across the high points of the face or the cupid's bow.
