Back in April, Beautycon posted a video on Instagram showing the NYX Strobe of Genius on two different skin tones. The results were absolutely mesmerizing: the two models' faces were painted in a subtle unicorn sheen that blew our minds and made us wonder how the heck we could get our hands on one. Luckily for all of us, the wait is over. NYX just dropped their Strobe of Genius today, along with two other products that are guaranteed to light up your life — and face!
The two other products are NYX Away We Glow Illuminating Powder and NYX Away We Glow Makeup Brush set. The highlighter is available in six different shades. Each shade is made up of four different finishes, which all land on different points in the shimmer kaleidoscope. That means each palette has a range of shine factor — some are more subtle while others radiate glow.
The brush set is perfect for applying powder. Read on to learn more about how to use each brush and see all the gorgeous shades.
