LAURA GELLER NEW YORK Baked Natural Glow Highlighter — French Vanilla, Lightweight Sheer Luminous Finish

This baked highlighter is made by baking a cream formula on terracotta for 24 hours, then finishing it into a finely milled dome-shaped powder. The French Vanilla shade is a soft beige designed to brighten without obvious sparkle, giving a natural, skin-like radiance. Infused with antioxidants like Centella Asiatica and White Tea Extracts, the formula aims to provide a fresh, illuminated finish while blending easily across skin.

How will this highlighter look on my skin?

Expect a subtle, low-glow radiance rather than chunky shimmer. French Vanilla produces a warm beige sheen that lifts features and reads as a natural highlight on light to medium skin tones, and can warm deeper tones when used sparingly.

• Gives a soft, luminous finish without glittery fallout
• Sheer buildable coverage — layer for more intensity
• Works wet or dry for varied sheen levels

Where and how should I apply it for the most flattering effect?

Tap a small, tapered brush to the dome and sweep across high points you want to lift: cheekbones, brow bone, inner eye corners, Cupid’s bow, and the bridge of the nose. For a natural look blend with light, circular motions; for a stronger cast of light, apply damp or in thin layers.

• Cheekbones and brow bone to enhance structure
• Inner eye corners to open and brighten the eye area
• Apply damp for a creamier sheen or layer for added glow

What makes the baked formula different from regular powders?

Baked powders begin as a cream formula that cures on a terracotta surface, concentrating pigments and creating a smoother, more luminous finish. This process often yields a silky texture that blends more seamlessly on mature or textured skin compared with some pressed powders.

• 24-hour baked process produces a domed, buttery powder
• Hand-finished for consistent texture and payoff
• Smoother application with reduced visible fallout

How does this product fit into my skincare-aware routine?

The formula contains antioxidants like Centella Asiatica and White Tea Extracts to help protect skin from environmental stressors while delivering radiance. Use it after foundation or on bare skin to add a brightening, finished look without heavy coverage.

• Suitable as a finishing touch over foundation or tinted moisturizer
• Antioxidant extracts help comfort skin while enhancing radiance
• Recommended for targeted application to avoid emphasizing texture

Who is this for: This highlighter is ideal for anyone seeking a natural-looking glow—especially those wanting minimal shimmer, mature skin types, or people who prefer buildable, blendable powders. It suits beauty routines that prioritize a skin-like finish and works well for both everyday wear and makeup looks that call for subtle contouring and brightening.
