Finally, when I first heard about the Shimmer Face Oil, I thought it would be too much like the Jones Road Miracle Balm, which is the product I use most, and love most, in the line. Bobbi Brown explains that the two are different, and are used for different purposes. First,the Face Shimmer Oil is a much lighter texture, and has more luminosity,than Miracle Balm. She says, think of Miracle Balm as your skin tint. Then, think of Face Shimmer Oil as your highlighter. Plus, the Shimmer Face Oil can be used to highlight your cheeks.
