Maybelline New York Face Studio Master Chrome Metallic Highlighter - Molten Gold

A metallic powder highlighter with a rich golden sheen for bright, glowing skin. Maybelline Face Studio Master Chrome in Molten Gold is a powder highlighter made for people who enjoy a more noticeable glow. The shade leans warm and golden, and the finish gives skin a reflective shine that stands out beautifully on the high points of the face.

People often use it for:

• Highlighting cheekbones
