The Innovation: "Drop Technology"
What makes the Pastel Plexi Glow so special is Natasha’s cutting-edge Drop Technology. Instead of just mixing colors into a flat pan, individual pigments of Shimmering Pink and Icy Mint are dropped into a Golden Champagne core.
The result? A translucent alabaster base that looks like a watercolor painting in the pan and delivers a sophisticated, pearlescent glow on the skin.
Pastel Plexi Glow Highlighter
3 Ways to Wear the Pastel Plexi Glow
1. The Classic All-Over Glow
For a seamless, high-shine finish on your cheekbones, swirl a dense highlighting brush across the entire pan. This picks up all three shades—the champagne, the pink, and the mint—blending them into a single, multidimensional "one-stroke" highlighter that melts into the skin.
2. The Color-Shift Blush
Because the pink pigments are concentrated in specific areas of the 3D embossed surface, you can use a smaller eyeshadow brush or a fluffy blush brush to target just the Shimmering Pink section. Apply this to the apples of your cheeks for a subtle, iridescent pink shift that looks incredibly fresh and youthful.
3. The Inner-Corner & Eye Pop
The Icy Mint pigments are perfect for adding a touch of brightness to the eyes. Natasha recommends using your fingertip or a small detail brush to:
Apply the mint shade to the inner corners to open the eyes.
Press a small amount onto the center of the eyelids (the "Halo" effect) to add a reflective, 3D finish to any eyeshadow look.
Pro Tips for a "Glass Skin" Finish
1. Sculpting the Crease
Natasha begins by establishing the "smoky" part of the look.
Shades Used: Risk and Instinct.
The Technique: Apply Risk (a deep, moody plum-maroon) through the crease and into the outer corner. Use Instinct (a dusty rose transition) to diffuse the edges. The goal is to create a soft, gradient "cloud" of color that extends slightly toward the temple to start the cat-eye shape.
2. Defining the "Cut"
This is the technical heart of the look.
Shade Used: Edgy.
The Technique: Using a very precise, small brush and the deep shade Edgy, Natasha "sketches" the cut crease line right in the socket of the eye. By using a dark shadow instead of just concealer, she creates a more dramatic, high-fashion contrast.
3. The Brightened Lid
To make the "cut" visible, the mobile lid needs to be bright and clean.
Shade Used: Spontaneous.
The Technique: Press the light, shimmering nude shade Spontaneous onto the lid, stopping exactly at the dark line you just created. This "carves out" the lid space and makes the eye look significantly larger.
4. The Smoky Cat-Eye Wing
Now, it's time for the "Snatched" finish.
Shade Used: Risk (and potentially a touch of black for intensity).
The Technique: From the outer corner, draw a wing shape that connects to the outer end of your cut crease. Smudge the edges so it’s not a sharp liquid line, but a soft, smoky wing. This creates that "cat-eye" lift without the harshness of a traditional liner.
5. Balancing the Lower Lash Line
To tie it all together, run Risk along the lower lash line, connecting it to the outer wing. Add a pop of Spontaneous to the inner corner to open the eyes and add a final touch of light.
Pro Tips for Success
The Cream Base Trick: For maximum impact, Natasha suggests applying her Glow Cream Base before the powder. This gives the Plexi Glow something to "grip" onto, intensifying the shine and creating a true 3D glass-skin effect.
Work it In: Don't just dust it on! To prevent the highlighter from "sitting" on top of the skin, lightly buff it in with your brush to ensure the gel-powder formula fuses with your foundation.
