NYX Professional Makeup Ultimate Glow Shots

OK, so technically the NYX Professional Makeup Ultimate Glow Shots are liquid eyeshadows, but according to the brand, you can dab the shimmery formula on your cheekbones to give your skin an illuminating glow. If you’re picking one of these up with the intention of using it as blush, we recommend Raspberry Rave or Clementine Fine.
