We’re counting down the days until we can board a flight back to our hometown to see our family for the holidays. We always try to look our best around the festive season — you never know when you’ll run into an old classmate or neighbor. It’s like an unexpected high school reunion. But we also try to pack light when traveling, so we always end up cutting down our cosmetics collection. As much as we want to bring our entire beauty bag, we have to stick with our priorities.

We used to think we needed to bring eye shadow, highlighter and blush along with Us, but not anymore! Thanks to Katie Holmes, we once discovered the holy grail of makeup — a glistening product that does it all. Back in 2013, while she was a spokesperson for the brand, the Dawson’s Creek alum told Elle that she couldn’t live without Bobbi Brown’s Shimmer Brick. “I usually put it on right away in the morning, because it brightens up my whole face,” she said. “And then I can add a little mascara and be done, which is nice to know. I like those little shortcuts. Like, what’s the least I need to do in order to look like I’m alive?” We’re all about those little shortcuts too, especially when we’re on the go. “To me, Bobbi’s makeup is like having a beautiful, tightly edited closet,” Holmes added. “It all goes together, and it’s all really nice. You just can’t go wrong.”

This brush-on powder highlighter will make your skin shine with lit-from-within color. Handmade in Italy, this product features superfine pigments that reflect light for a luminous glow. The five different shades bled together for a flattering combination of pale, golden and rosy pinks.
