Skin that appears glowing and healthy is so desirable that the term "dewy" has become a popular term used to describe a range of cosmetics that promote a lit-from-within look—and [Stila Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stila-cosmetics) is now introducing its own unique take on the term with its Heaven's Dew highlighter.

Previously, Stila launched its Heaven's Hue highlighter in a bouncy, putty-like formula. Now, Heaven's Dew introduces yet another innovative formula that goes from a [cream to a powder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halo-glow-powder-filter). As such, the product helps to provide an incredible sheen to the skin, as well as a staying power that can't be found with most comparable dewy cosmetics.

The versatile Heaven's Dew highlighter can be used on the cheeks and body, as well as tapped across the eyelids as a [shimmery eye gloss](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kimchi-chic-beauty).
