An ELLE editor says: “Over the years, as I deepened my knowledge of makeup, I started to value quality formulas over buzzy ones. Already a proud owner of a Kevyn Aucoin concealer, I added this illuminator to my routine and never looked back. Rain, shine, cold or hot, a light brush of this formula to my cheeks helps create the perfect balance of dewy cheeks and matte everywhere else.”—Nerisha Penrose, beauty commerce editor
