The original Naked Illuminated shade in Luminous isn’t nearly as mesmerizing for me as Aura is. First of all let’s talk about what this actually is. It’s a lightweight baked powder with microfine shimmer in it. It’s actually baked on a terra cotta disc for 24 hours and finished off by hand. It’s smooth, silky and contains light-reflecting particles that create a great luminous radiant glow to your skin.

Aura comes in a pretty little box with a mirror and a brush, which is housed in a compartment underneath the powder. You can use this anywhere you want such as cheeks, collarbone, you name it. I prefer using it as a face highlighter because shimmery glitter on my body and clothing kind of makes me crabby.
