Product Description

WHAT IS IT?

Naturally illuminate your skin while adding depth and definition with these iridescent powder highlighters.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

Carefully created with combination and oily skin in mind, the weightless formula is infused with cottonseed oil and coconut-derived amino acids to nourish the skin while providing a light-reflective finish.

Available in five shades that range from pink and peach to golden, every skin tone can enjoy that ‘lit from within’ luminosity.

How To Use

Use the pointed end of the Tropic Precision Face Brush to sweep over any areas of the face you wish to accentuate, such as cheekbones, brow bones and the bridge of your nose.

This pan is designed for use inside your Colour Palette.

However, it’s packaged in a durable cardboard box, so it’s easy to keep separately in your makeup bag too.

Cottonseed Oil

As soft as an Egyptian cotton towel, this luxurious oil helps our pressed powders blend into your skin for a seamless finish.

Why Jojoba Oil Is Your Skin's Best Friend

At the heart of our Smoothing Cleanser is jojoba oil: a golden, skin-loving liquid that closely mimics your skin's own natural oils. That means it deeply cleansers without disrupting your delicate moisture barrier. Rich in vitamins E and B-complex, jojoba oil gently melts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily build-up, while keeping your skin nourished and balanced. It's non-comedogenic (so it won't clog pores), making it ideal for all skin types, from dry and sensitive to oily and blemish-prone. We chose jojoba for its versatility and skin compatibility, but you'll stay for the silky-soft glow it leaves behind.

Q&A

How do I buy refills for the palette?: Hi Helen, thanks for getting in touch with us. You can purchase new makeup pans on our website and use the subcategories available depending on the product you're after (e.g. Face & Cheeks/Eyes & Brows/Lips). All pans are 100% recyclable, so you can dispose of these safely and easily! We hope that helps :).
Hi, I ordered my palette at the weekend and cannot wait to receive it and try all the products out! I’m already looking at other options for my trays to mix up my options and wondered if you would be doing the Way To Glow Pressed Highlighter in the small size? Many thanks Kay: Hi, this is the very exciting first stage of our new makeup range. As with all Tropic products, our work does not stop here! We will be launching even more products as the range develops.
Which shade would be most suited to paler, ivory skin? (think Irish, with freckles!): "Hi, if it is a cream highlighter you are looking for, Sunrise is a pearl-toned highlighter with a dash of pink shimmer to give fairer complexions a subtle luminescence. In regards to our pressed highlighters, we would recommend Rose Gold as it has a subtle hint of shimmer with warm, pink undertones, or Spring Lily, which is an understated highlighting powder with a subtle hint of iridescence. If you are based within the UK we would be more than happy to put you in touch with an Ambassador local to you so they could arrange a makeup 1:1 for you. Hope that helps.
