Tips & Warnings

Use shimmer lotion to hide small imperfections on the exposed areas of your body. The light hits the shimmer just right to minimize the appearance of skin flaws.

Mix a small amount of lotion for a one-time use or if you make a large batch then pour the remaining lotion into a clean empty bottle. Store the lotion at room temperature for future use.

If you are using compact eye shadow be sure to break up the powder before putting it into the lotion.
