The First Aid Beauty brand is now offering a Fab Mango Butter Multi Stick that offers a unique formulation that glides onto the skin.

The multi stick is a highlighter of sorts, offering a [natural glow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glow-protect-spf-50-liquid-highlighter) to the areas of the face on which the product is applied. The collection of Mango Butter Multi Sticks comes in three different colors that include Moonlight which is a sparkling lavender, Rose which comes in a rich pink, and Champagne – a pale gold color. The multi sticks come in cream form but when they are applied to the skin, they offer a soft powdery look that avoids the appearance of oiliness.

These [buttery highlighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-glow-highlighter) can be used to enhance the appearance of the face, lips, eyelids, or the decollete.
