Achieving a subtle summer glow has never been easier, thanks to Bobbi Brown. The 69-year-old makeup artist just debuted a new product from her brand, Jones Road Beauty, which she says is great for “adding life to your complexion”: the Bright Skin Illuminating Drops—and she was kind enough to share with Prevention exactly how to apply this magical product. Available in six shades, these glow-enhancing drops are formulated to hydrate and brighten your skin, while delivering “all-over luminosity,” according to Brown herself.
“Our new Bright Skin Illuminating Drops are the perfect addition to a summer look—all six shades can be used as a gorgeous highlighter or a very subtle blush,” the beauty mogul shared. “I use the Rose Gold shade as a blush on the cheeks and then I’ll go in with Gilded, which gives a subtle golden glow, and use it on the top of the cheekbones as a highlighter.”
Infused with finely milled, ultra-fine pearls for a sheer, radiant finish, the lightweight, silky formula is also dermatologist-tested and safe for sensitive skin. It’s packed with nourishing ingredients like aloe vera, glycerin, and plant extracts—all of which hydrate, soothe, and help reduce redness and irritation for soft, glowing skin.
While Brown personally likes using these makeup drops as a blush and highlighter on the cheeks and cheekbones, they can be used anywhere on the face and body—in fact, there’s no wrong way to drop it into your beauty routine, as the makeup artist exclusively told Prevention.
“To me, makeup is like a Swiss army knife: you can use it in so many different ways, and for different purposes—there are not hard and fast rules,” she explained to us. “You can put Bright Skin Illuminating Drops on underneath foundation to create that glow-from-within look. You can add a couple drops to your tinted moisturizer for all-over luminosity. And, when you just don’t feel like wearing any makeup at all, you can blend it on bare, moisturized skin to add life to your complexion without looking ‘makeup-y.’”
Prevention Senior Editor Gina Way tested the glow-enhancing drops herself and was impressed with how versatile and hydrating they were. “I used the Rose Gold shade on my bare skin without makeup, blending it directly over my cheekbones and a tiny bit on my temples, the tip of my nose and chin. I even tapped a tiny bit on my eyelids too,” she shared. “Immediately obsessed. It made my 50-plus complexion look brighter instantly and gave it a healthy glow, but it looked natural—like I just woke up with radiant glass skin (and when you’re over 50, that is magic).”
Despite just being launched, the illuminating drops are also already earning rave reviews from shoppers, too. “This is my new summer essential! I cannot believe how amazing this makes my skin feel,” one reviewer wrote. “I have severely dry skin and it’s so hard for me to find products that don’t just sit on top of my face and make it look cakey and dry. This absorbed right in and made and look hydrated, dewy, and left me glowing. I will not be going anywhere without it. It is phenomenal.”
