Physicians Formula Butter Highlighter

Yes, the formula is designed to melt into the skin rather than sitting on top of it, which helps prevent a greasy appearance. However, if you are prone to excess oil, you may want to set your T-zone with a translucent powder before applying to keep the glow focused on your high points.

While it is an ultra-creamy formula, it layers well over most powder foundations if applied with a light hand. For the smoothest finish, use a synthetic brush or your fingertips to tap the product onto the skin rather than dragging it, which can disturb the base makeup.

This highlighter is formulated for a soft-focus, luminous sheen rather than chunky glitter. It provides a refined, lit-from-within glow that mimics healthy skin texture.

It is highly buildable. You can apply a sheer layer for a subtle, everyday radiance or layer it up for a more intense, reflective highlight without the formula becoming cakey or heavy.

For the most natural finish, apply the product with your ring finger to the tops of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and your cupid's bow. The warmth of your fingertips helps the creamy formula blend seamlessly into your skin.
