NYX's Newest Launch Is the Most Affordable Way to Try the Iridescent Highlighter Trend

Duochromatic highlighters are definitely having a moment. These unique formulas are characterized by their special iridescent pearl pigments, which feature the stunning ability to look like a different color from every angle. Just by delicately moving your head, could make your glow look golden, blue, or even green (the possibilities are truly endless). It's basically like seeing a rainbow arc out of your cheekbone!

Since the launch of Anastasia Beverly Hills's Moonchild Glow Kit in the Summer of 2016, brands like Kat Von D and MAC Cosmetics have each followed with their own iterations. If you're on a budget, you might not have snapped up any of these products, but thanks to NYX Cosmetics, you'll now be able to dive into the trend.

The upcoming Duo Chromatic Illuminating Powder ($8, launching Dec. 8 on nyxcosmetics.com) will be available in five different shades, including two white-based hues and an edgy lilac. Each features that magical, shade-shifting quality for an Instagram-worthy glow. Add a light dusting to look like an ethereal faerie, or really pack it on to look like a sexy space alien (we enjoy the latter application, honestly). Read on to see all the shades in their gleaming glory.
