Seint: Illuminator shade in NOVA Used one time, but don’t use it enough and thought somebody else will love it more !! it’s absolutely beautiful just not perfect shade for me. This is a cream highlight. What it is Illuminator is a sheer cream that adds a hint of light-catching shimmer to perfect your look. How you use it Apply Illuminator with your fingertip to the top of your cheekbones, the bow of your lip, and beneath the arch of your brow.
