The Newest Urban Decay Highlighter Offers a Subtle Glow to the Skin

— May 26, 2017 — Fashion
The new Urban Decay highlighter comes in the form of a serum that offers a noticeable yet natural glow to the user's skin.

Called the Urban Decay Liquid Aura Illuminating Mix-In, the product comes in a liquid, serum-like formulation that is packaged in a dropper bottle – similar to the serum foundations that are becoming increasingly popular in the beauty industry. While it is marketed as a highlighter, it offers a much more subtle glow than most similar products, resulting in a light luminescence rather than an intense shine. The product can be worn on its own, or can be mixed with foundation for a more natural, dewy look.

With summer now upon us, the new Urban Decay highlighter will give beauty lovers a way to create the currently in-fashion dewy makeup look.
