Huda Beauty launches a body highlighter that’s transfer, sweat, and water-resistant.

N.Y.M.P.H., Not. Your. Mama’s. Panty. Hose. is the current darling of the beauty world after its arrival this week because well, check that glow.

Makeup guru Huda Kattan has described it as the “most pigmented shimmer you’ll ever try” making it a must for girls who love their shimmer.

N.Y.M.P.H comes in three water, sweat transfer-resistant shades and is inspired by none other than Beyoncé.

Luna is ideal for fair and light tones, with soft white gold, rose gold and silver pearls to illuminate the skin. Aphrodite then, think gold pearls for a golden bronze to add glow to tan or medium skin tones

Thirdly, there’s Aurora, a toasty copper shade featuring warm gold and bronze pearls to “add an enviable radiance to rich skin”.

Speaking about the inspiration behind N.Y.M.P.H., Huda said:

“I am a huge fan of Beyoncé and I was in awe of how flawless and luminous her legs look when she’s on stage! She is the closest thing we have to a goddess, so we wanted to take a modern twist on the pantyhose look without the fuss and discomfort of actual pantyhose. It was important for me to create something that could be used every day for a gorgeous all-over glow that could withstand water and sweat”.

Although this new product is described as a body highlighter, Huda herself has been applying it as a face highlighter too, as demonstrated in the below Instagram video.

It’s quite the statement glow which has led people to question if it’s suitable for your face.

However, it’s all about the blend and by applying like a primer and adding your foundation over this base, you’ll get gorgeous glowy skin.

Whether using it on the body or the face, there are a few simple tips to keep in mind as explained by Huda herself.

    • For best results, use the Huda Beauty Blur & Glow Brush to buff the highlighter onto your face, legs, arms, shoulders and collarbone for a natural-looking glow
    • Blend quickly as you spread the formula across the skin until the desired coverage is achieved.
    • Apply 2-3 pumps to cover a large area, or 1-2 pumps for a subtle glow.
    • Pro tip: Mix with your favourite foundation or moisturizer for added glow.

    Huda Beauty N.Y.M.P.H. (€45) and the Blur Glow Brush (€31) launch online on May 3 and you can purchase from Brown Thomas/Arnotts from May 17.
