STAR LIT POWDER

MAKE UP FOR EVER Star Lit Powder is a loose shimmer powder built around pearl pigments that throw back light. The particles are milled very fine, so the same jar can give a soft sheen or a full metallic hit depending on how you apply it. It is not limited to lids — the brand positions it for eyes, face highlight and body.

What it actually does

• Reflects light rather than adding flat colour. The formula is loaded with pearl pigments chosen for high reflectivity, which is where the glow comes from.
• Works wet or dry. Dry gives a lighter wash; dampening your brush or applicator turns the same powder into a denser, more foiled finish.
• Scales from subtle to bold. MAKE UP FOR EVER builds the product around that range, so you control intensity through application rather than switching shades.
• Multi-area. The brand lists it for eye looks, as a highlighter across the face, and as body makeup.
• Very fine texture. The powder is micronised, which is what lets it sit smoothly instead of looking gritty.

How to use

1. Pick your tool. MAKE UP FOR EVER recommends the #224 silicone applicator or the #226 medium eye shader for highlighting the eyes, and the #144 precision concealer highlighter brush for finer placement.
2. Tap off the excess. Loose shimmer travels — load lightly and knock the applicator against the jar rim before it touches skin.
3. Press, don't sweep. Patting the powder onto the lid or high point of the cheek keeps the reflect intact.
4. Go wet for maximum impact. Dampen the applicator first when you want a metallic, pressed-on look.
5. Do eyes before base. Any fallout can then be wiped away before foundation goes on.

Questions

Can I use it on my cheekbones and not just my eyes?

Yes. The brand lists face highlighting and body makeup alongside eye use, so a tiny amount on the top of the cheekbone or collarbone is an intended use.

What is the difference between applying it wet and dry?

Dry application gives you a lighter, more diffused sheen. Dampening your brush or silicone applicator first makes the pearl sit more densely for a stronger, foil-like effect.

Which brush should I buy with it?

MAKE UP FOR EVER names three: the #224 silicone applicator and #226 medium eye shader for the eyes, and the #144 precision concealer highlighter brush for smaller, sharper placement.
