What Makes the Glow Orb Launch Different?

• New format: Glow Orbs is the launch's only new product, a marbled cream highlighter in a twist-up orb. Cooling Chromes and Fractal Eye Paint only add new shades.
• Pastel shade story: The three new Cooling Chromes shades are pink, pale gold and iridescent lilac-white.
• Warm and cool mix: The new Fractal Eye Paint shades include warm tones (plum, bronze, pink) and cool tones (iridescent white, slate grey).

Formula and Packaging

• Glow Orbs: about-face describes it as a buildable "marbled cream formula that illuminates with a glowy finish." The brand says it contains micro-fine pearls and microshimmers, plus meadowfoam seed, macadamia and sunflower seed oils. It comes as a pocket-sized twist-up orb in a gun-metal component.
• Cooling Chromes: According to the brand, this is a one-swipe eye and face highlighter stick that feels cool to the touch. It can be layered from a subtle sheen to high-saturation shimmer, and its ingredients include sunflower seed and jojoba oils. about-face advises capping the stick after use to prevent it drying out.
• Fractal Eye Paint: about-face calls this a shimmering mousse eyeshadow with super-fine glitter, infused with marula oil. The brand says it is long-wearing and water-resistant, and doesn't crease, crack, transfer or fall out.

The brand says all about-face products are 100% vegan, and it describes Cooling Chromes as cruelty-free.

For Glow Orbs, about-face's directions are to swipe the orb onto the cheekbones, brow bones, bridge of the nose or cupid's bow. Then blend it out with fingertips, a sponge or a brush.
