These iridescent makeup give you a glow that’s out of this world.

Used alone, the Kat Von D Alchemist Holographic Palette, $50, functions great as a highlighter but they can be used over an intense black eye shadow to really show off its colour shifts.

My Reading Room

Dust the MAKE UP FOR EVER Star Lit Powder Iridescent Pearl in 5 Frozen Purple, $36, lightly over the brow bone or cheek bones for a lilac-tone highlight.

If you want to dress up dark hair, use the IGK Foamo Holographic Hair Foam in Moon Rock, $32, a glitter hair mousse that lends hair an iridescent shine. Plus, it’s surprisingly easy to wash off.

My Reading Room

The Hourglass Ambient Strobe Lighting Powder in Incandescent, $62, gives skin an ethereal glow, while still looking like your own skin. Plus, it’s almost impossible to mess up, even if you’re heavy-handed with highlighter.

Dab the ETUDE HOUSE Mirror Holic in WH901, $13.90, over any eye shadow for a glittery party look – perfect for keeping in your purse if you want to take your makeup look from day to night.

My Reading Room

While it looks like an intimidating blue lipstick, the LANEIGE Stained Glassstick in No. 1 Blue Topaz, $34, acts more like a top coat which changes the colour temperature of your lipstick. Swipe over warm lipstick to change its tone and to accentuate its shine.

My Reading Room

Infused with aura-enhancing amethyst crystals, the Kora Organics Luminizer in Amethyst, $39, lends a purplish glow while imbuing skin with hydration thanks to organic noni fruit extract, coconut and rosehip oil.

My Reading Room

The NARS Full Vinyl Lip Lacquer in At First Sight, $40, is a limited edition lip gloss that can be worn alone or over lipstick to lend lips an opalescent glow.

My Reading Room

While most of the iridescent makeup feature a lilac tone, the MAKE UP STORE High Tech Lighter in Moonlight, $39, has a pink shade which is suitable for those with warmer skin tones. Dab on cheekbones or on your Cupid’s bow to accentuate the high points of your face.

My Reading Room

The fluid texture of the NYX Professional Makeup Away We Glow Liquid Booster in Zoned Out, $27 (12.6 ml), means it can be worn alone for an intense iridescent sheen or mixed into your favourite moisturiser for a barely-there glow.

My Reading Room

The Fenty Beauty Match Stix Shimmer Skinstick in Confetti, $39, is a versatile face colour that can be used anywhere on the face – dab a little on the cheek for a pearlescent glow or over lipstick for holographic shine.

My Reading Room

At first glance, the L’Oréal Color Riche Holoshine Lipstick in 929 Unicorn, $20.90, can look daunting especially when worn on its own. Glide it over any lipstick colour and you can instantly transform the lipstick tone from warm to cool.

My Reading Room

Part of a limited edition holographic collection, the Marie Dalgar Colour Studio It’s Holo Eyeshadow Palette, $58, is everything you need to create a unicorn-inspired eye look. You can also use the colours in this palette to layer over regular matte eye shadow or worn alone to give it a duo-chrome radiance.
