While the average beauty maven may have just mastered the contouring and colour correcting techniques, it looks like a stealthy new must-have may be stealing the spotlight. Known as face gloss, this increasingly popular product is quickly becoming an essential part of many beauty regimens.

Makeup addicts are using face gloss to achieve an illuminating, dewy look without the need for excess products. If you prefer a natural, refreshed visage to the caked-on look of unnecessary foundation and highlighter, using a touch of this gloss may be a smart beauty move.

Designed as a translucent gloss for the face, this product has multiple uses and can enhance your facial features. In an interview with Cosmopolitan, makeup artist Laramie Glen described face gloss as being useful for highlighting the eyelids, cheeks and lips.
