Sparkle scares me.
When it’s not done right, shimmer accentuates wrinkles.
NYX Roll On Shimmer is shimmer perfection. It’s like pixie dust on a roller ball!
Here’s my favorite shade: NUDE. It gets compliments! People always ask what highlighter I’m using when I wear this.
What It Is
It’s loose pigment infused with a very fine shimmer/glitter. These roller balls come in 16 colors including nudes, pinks, browns, greens, purple, and onyx.
Application
It’s a roller ball! You can roll these anywhere on your body to add subtle sparkle – like to your shoulders or highlight your collar bones or cheekbones. They can also be worn as eye shadow. It blends easily with a brush or your fingertips.
How I Roll
I haven’t tried the bolder colors like black or green, I prefer the pinks and nudes. I like using them as eye shadow best, and they can be blended out to very sheer coverage for subtle shimmer or a little accent. I like them over a matte shadow, to add a hint of sparkle.
With this, I control the sparkle.
They’ll be an inexpensive way for me to try more shimmery colors and branch out from the safety of my nudes and pinks.
UPDATE 12/20/18:
I have noticed these roller balls are becoming harder and harder to find. I worry that they have been discontinued. Luckily, NYX has come out with what I think is the same product but packaged as loose pigment – Shimmer Down Pigment.
This is “Nude,” my favorite shade.
