Creme blush + light-reflective highlighter with a smooth, blendable finish

Kosas Color & Light Creme is a weightless creme blush paired with a light-reflective highlighter — a combination that provides skin with a sheer wash of naturally radiant, lit-from-within color. Each color pairing works across a range of skin tones; this hydrating, nourishing cream form provides a natural, dewy look that’s particularly lovely on balanced to dry skin types. (Looking for a more polished powder version for oilier skins? Check out Color & Light Pressed.)

Like all Kosas formulas, this one is beautifully enhanced with ingredients that are actually good for your skin: marula, rosehip, grape seed, and myrrh oils along with a spot of green tea. The result is a soft, smooth, buildable, and effortlessly blendable cream that can be applied with a brush or fingertips. The flexible application prompts intuitive experimentation: you can use the blush colors over the apples of the cheeks and the highlighter wherever you want a candlelit glow, but you can also use the Tropic Equinox bronzing duo on the hairline, collarbones, and bridge of the nose, or the warm-toned Velvet Melon for undereye coverage. Goodbye, sticky/glittery/one-dimensional creme luminizers of yesteryear.

Choose Tropic Equinox for a sun-kissed look that works on everyone, Velvet Melon for a luminizing peachy glow that harmonizes nicely with warm skin tones, or 8^th Muse for a romantic pink flush that seems tailor-made for cool tones.
