As makeup: apply to eyelids, cheeks, or anywhere you want to highlight using a makeup brush, sponge, powder puff, or your fingertips. Get creative. Shimmer powders are endlessly versatile and sheer enough that they're impossible to mess up.
They're also buildable: simply apply more for a brighter color. You can slightly dampen your makeup brush, sponge, or finger before dipping it into the jar for even more color payoff. Just be sure to keep the contents of the jar mostly dry for storage.
If you prefer, you can also mix these powders with a drop of facial oil for a more sheer, spreadable color.
As body shimmer: lightly dust onto your body using a makeup brush, sponge, or powder puff.
Layer: Shimmer powders add dimension and allow you to change up your look when layered under the Twinkle Apothecary shimmer balms.
DIY: funnel approximately 1/4 teaspoon into a 2 oz jar of body oil, facial serum, body powder, or dry shampoo for a subtle shimmery glow.

Can I see more swatches?
This (my left forearm) is all I can offer for now as a one-person business. I encourage everyone to order small samples, and post reviews with pictures here so shoppers can see what these look like on other skin tones.

How do I use these without making a mess?
You don't. This isn't makeup that you can toss in your gym bag or do in the car on the way to work. (Please never do that, by the way.) Leaving these colors loose (as opposed to pressing them down into a compact) was a purposeful decision - so that they could be used in any number of DIY applications. For a more travel-friendly product, check out the shimmer balms.
Ok, one tip: utilize the lid of the jar to tap off excess powder. You can also sprinkle some powder into the lid and work from there instead of dipping your brush/finger directly into the jar.
What is the shelf life?
These colors have an indefinite shelf life when kept dry. Good news, because it can take years for you to use them up!

Shiny, Happy Customers:
(From 1282 reviews)I love the Butter for face and body -- it's an excellent gentle, fragrance-free multi-tasker that I use from head to toe. It's vegan, cruelty-free, low-waste, and it WORKS. What more could I want?
I’m loving the candy cane scent right now. It revvs my Christmas spirit and I am giving one to my bestie. All the Twinkle scents are my favorite to give and receive.
Love the cream body butter. It softens my skin without a greasy feel and it lasts all day. I don't have to keep reapplying it. My daughter bought me the grapefruit scent which the really like so I ordered 2 jars of the orange blossom for Christmas gifts.
I got a sample, which lasted way longer than I expected, and I'm in love! It has the most lovely floral and earthy scents. (Definitely nothing like the cheap synthetic rose perfume we've all come across in life at one time or another.) It's a perfect scent for any time of the year honestly, it's timeless and brings a smile to my face. Next time I get a full bottle of perfume, it'll have to be this one.
Balm is absolutely a daily essential for me. I've been an absolute champion of body butter for years, and recently ordered balm just to give it a try and now I'm obsessed with both. I mainly use balm on my lips and cuticles, and nothing has ever worked better. My cuticles were so torn and aggravated, and after just two days of applying balm, they look and feel so good. It's not at all oily or greasy, it just rubs in smoothly and moisturizes without transferring off.
I’m loving my soft musk spray. I have been using it on its own and also have layered it with the Cardigan scent …sooo beautiful! I have collected some very nice fall scents that go nicely with soft musk. I’m so excited because it is now my favorite.
My allergies are very fickle. And even the safest of scents set off my sinuses. This is subtle and the smell is unique and difficult for others to discern what it is. I sometimes mix this with the cream scent for added flavor!
Moisturizing but not heavy or greasy. I have sensitive but also dry skin and was using CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream throughout the day which really wasn't as moisturizing as I wanted in addition to it being greasy AND burning my skin if it was really inflamed. I tried this butter and it is perfect for my sensitive skin, doesn't burn EVER, isn't greasy and is a great moisturizer. I use it several times throughout the day for the dry spots on my face. Love it!
I am so happy that I got this sample of Basic Witch. I've been wanting to try it. It is a fresh scent that can be worn everyday. I will defintely order a bigger bottle now.
The shimmer balms are one of my favorite multi-purpose products -- I use mine as lip gloss, cheek color, and sometimes even eye color! Love the ability to minimize my makeup collection with these beautiful multi-purpose products made with healthy ingredients.
I love the Perfume Archive so much -- it's such a pleasure to be able to order any perfume I want from Twinkle, at any time of the year. Thank you!!
First off, this product smells absolutely amazing! Secondly, the spray brings out the light wave I have in my hair but without the “crunch” I’ve experienced with other products I’ve bought. The spray makes my hair wavy, so soft, and nourished. This is the only wave spray I will use now.
I have combination skin. I am either super oily or dry and cracking. The base powder takes away my shine, but it does not dry out my skin. It adds some sparkle to my natural skin and really enhances it. This is a must have product for me.
I've tried lots of under-eye serums (caffeine infused, kiehls, first aid beauty) but never stick with them because they don't seem to do anything. I've been using this for about a week and I am pleasantly surprised how well it works. My eyes look brighter and fine lines are less visible. And it doesn't burn my sensitive skin like some eye creams I've tried in the past! Overall, I'm very pleased with this! It also seems like it will last a long time.
Love my products - filter balm, dry shampoo and tropic perfume sample. My first conscious sustainable brand purchase and I’m so happy with it!
