NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Buttermelt Highlighter Powder — 05 Bright and Butta (Light Champagne), Buildable 12H Glow

This lightweight highlighter combines the slip of a cream with the finish of a powder for a luminous, skin-like radiance. Infused with mango, shea and almond butters, the formula spreads smoothly and layers without fallout so you can dial intensity from subtle lit-from-within to high-impact shine. The shade Bright and Butta (Light Champagne) gives a warm champagne gleam suitable for fair to light-medium tones and works on cheekbones, brow bones, collarbones and anywhere you want a soft metallic lift.

How does this highlighter feel and apply?

The texture is silky and easy to manipulate — it glides on with the creaminess of a buttered product yet sets to a finely-milled powder finish. You can apply it with a fan brush for a soft wash or a dense brush or fingertip to build more glow without patchiness. Its blendability means it integrates seamlessly with blush or bronzer for natural dimension.

• Buttery glide from mango, shea and almond butters for smooth application
• Powder finish that resists fallout and creasing
• Buildable payoff: sheer to intense depending on application method

Will the radiance last through my day or night events?

The formula is designed for extended wear and resists transfer and fading for up to 12 hours under typical conditions. Its adhesion properties help the shimmer stay put across social events or long workdays, so touch-ups are minimal. For longer-lasting intensity, layer over a thin cream base or tacky primer.

• Transfer-resistant and fade-resistant performance up to 12 hours
• No visible fallout when blended correctly
• Works over primer or directly on skin for durable results

What kind of finish and shade does Bright and Butta deliver?

Bright and Butta provides a light champagne metallic sheen with warm undertones that enhances cheekbones and highlights without appearing chalky. The high-impact pearl particles reflect light for dimension while maintaining a skin-like luminosity. It flatters lighter skin tones as a brightening highlighter and can be layered for stronger shimmer on deeper tones.

• Light champagne tone with warm reflectivity
• High-impact pearl for visible shine without glitter fallout
• Buildable for subtle to bold finishes depending on layering
