MAC Cosmetics expands its Glow Play range with Glowplay Bouncy Highlighter, a multi-use formula that combines a creamy putty texture with superfine shimmer. The highlighter gives the skin a sheer, buildable glow and changes as light catches the pearl finish. Its cushiony consistency keeps application smooth and comfortable, while the lightweight formula lets users layer color over bare skin, skincare, or makeup without adding a heavy feel.
HIGHLIGHTERS
The product focuses on quick application and adjustable intensity. Users can tap the formula onto the skin with their fingers for a subtle wash of shimmer, then add more product to intensify the effect. MAC also recommends the 159S Brush for a stronger highlight. The putty texture supports both methods and helps the shimmer spread evenly across the skin.
Glowplay Bouncy Highlighter arrives in eight shades. Each option uses a separate base tone and pearl combination. Sepia Skies offers medium bronze with copper flip pearl. Sunset Drizzle pairs mauve pearl with a blue shift, while Cloud Candy introduces bright red pink with gold flip pearl. Wind Chill combines white pearl with blue and green reflection, creating one of the coolest tones in the range.
Stratus brings light purple pearl to the lineup, and Sun Kissed uses light pink pearl for a softer finish. Glowzone deepens the selection with dark brown and purple flip pearl. Cloudbrust completes the range with light bronze and gold flip pearl.
The formula keeps the color sheer at first contact, giving users control over placement and coverage. A light tap creates a restrained sheen, while additional layers produce a brighter result. The texture maintains its smooth feel as users build the shimmer. MAC describes Glowplay Bouncy Highlighter as a daily dose of glow, with superfine shimmer and copper, blue, gold, green, and purple pearls that shift with the light.
