Drawing inspiration from healing crystals, By Terry's Gem Glow Trio compact powder consists of three brightening shades that are ideal for [highlighting and contouring the face](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kimchi-chic-beauty). The limited edition compact is infused with light-reflecting minerals and leaves skin with a dewy, velvet finish upon application.

This multifunctional product is not only a great alternative to [multiple bronzers and highlighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cool-bronze) thanks to its three vivid shades -- a pale gold, a warm pink and a silver -- but can also be used to illuminate eyes and lips. Additionally, its packaging embodies a luxe aesthetic thanks to decorative jewels on the exterior of the compact and a mirror that is fitted inside it.

Acting as an alternative to a highlighter, bronzer and eye shadow palette, this multifunctional compact is ideal for those who travel and are seeking three powder-based products in one.
