Avril Organic Highlighter Refill, 5 g

What is the Avril Organic Highlighter used for?

Avril’s organic highlighter is a luminous powder that’s applied to the prominent areas of the face to catch the light and accentuate your features. It’s applied as the final step in your makeup routine, after foundation and blush.

It comes in three shades to choose from depending on your skin tone: Dune, which suits all skin tones; Quartz Rose, designed for fair skin tones; and Copper Gold, particularly suited for medium to dark skin tones.

It’s versatile: in addition to the cheekbones, it can be used on the eyelids as an iridescent eyeshadow for a luminous look.

This refill snaps into a case or palette. We recommend the Avril Rechargeable Customizable Palette, which combines a highlighter, blush, and eyeshadows: you’ll only need to repurchase the refills afterward.

What are its main features?

The powder has a silky texture and an iridescent finish with a satin effect. Its base combines mica and organically grown tapioca starch with jojoba oil and organic shea butter.

The product is Cosmos Organic certified by Ecocert Greenlife: 99% of the total formula is of natural origin, and 20% of the total ingredients are organically farmed. It is vegan and made in France. The refill comes without a case, in a magnetic jar.

Helpful tip: Pick up a small amount of powder and tap the brush before applying. A light veil, applied in several layers, gives a more natural result than a single heavy layer.

How do you apply the Avril Highlighter?

First, apply your foundation and blush. Using a blush brush or an angled brush, pick up a light dusting of powder and apply it:

• on the tops of your cheekbones, just above the blush;
• on the temples, sweeping upward toward the outer corner of the eye;
• in a thin line along the bridge of the nose;
• in small dabs on the Cupid’s bow and under the brow bone.

On the eyelids, use it as an iridescent eyeshadow.

What are the precautions for use?

• Avoid direct contact with the eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Do not use on irritated skin or skin with open wounds.
• Store the product away from heat, direct light, and moisture.
• Always close your case or palette securely after use to preserve the quality and staying power of the eyeshadow.
• Keep out of reach of young children.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Avril products are not specifically formulated or tested for use by pregnant or breastfeeding women; consult a healthcare professional.

Our Expert Tips for the Avril Highlighter

Apply the highlighter last, over an even complexion. On skin that tends to get shiny, limit application to the tops of the cheekbones and avoid the forehead and chin, which naturally become more luminous throughout the day.
