NORTH POLE — As the sun refuses to dip below the horizon and cocoa starts sweating in its mugs, one thing is clear: the North Pole heatwave is in full swing. But that doesn’t mean the elves are sacrificing their shimmer.
Enter this summer’s glitziest beauty revolution: frosted highlighter. Designed to hold up under even the toastiest tundra temps (looking at you, 41°F), these cool-toned illuminators have taken over vanities, sleigh stations, and Sparkle Fest runways alike.
💧 What Makes It Melt-Proof?
Unlike traditional powders or creams, melt-proof frost highlighters are infused with cryo-mica and peppermint essence — a combo that both cools and clings. Developed in the North Pole’s Beauty & Baubles Lab, the formula has been tested in cookie ovens, reindeer yoga studios, and even the Shaved Ice Sculpture Games.
“They don’t just sparkle,” says Glitta Glowflake, head of product testing. “They stay sparkling—even during snowball karaoke.”
✨ Trending Shades of the Season:
- ❄️ Aurora Beam: An iridescent lavender glow that shifts in light like the Northern Sky
- 🌨️ Chillberry: A frosted rose hue with a dash of mint shimmer
- ⛄ Snowdrop Silver: Cool-toned, radiant, and runway-approved
- 🍬 Candy Freeze: The pastel pop made famous by Sugarplum Dancer Noelle Niblet at the Christmas in July Ball
🎨 Application Tips from the Pros:
- Keep it chilled: Store your highlighter near the iced cocoa to maintain its refreshing texture.
- Use your fingertips or a frozen sponge to press into cheekbones, collarbones, or the tip of your nose for that “I-just-rode-a-reindeer” glow.
- Layer with sparkle-setting mist for a finish that lasts through sparkler parades and late-night twinkle light mazes.
🛍️ Where to Find It
Tinsel Trends Boutique reports a 300% surge in demand, with waitlists forming for limited-edition “Blizzard Glitz” kits. Look for pop-ups in Snowglobe Square and around the S’more Styling Pavilion.
💬 Glow Girl Approved
“I wore Chillberry through three rounds of limbo, a cookie bake-off, and a glitter cannon mishap,” said Glow Up Elf-influencer Flixie Tinselstrut. “Still glowing. Still fabulous.”
So whether you’re frosting cupcakes or just your cheekbones, remember: you don’t have to melt to shine. The glow must go on.
