Best of Cleveland 2017: Highlighter

Glam & Grace has taken cheekiness to a whole new level with its Pastel Dreams Bold Cheeks highlighter ($25). Created by 33-year-old Amy Cornelius, the compact blush palette lives up to the 2-year-old company’s name by lifting those killer cheekbones with a metallic shimmering rainbow of lavender, turquoise, gold, bronze and pink. The onetime graphic artist, jewelry designer and blogger handcrafts each almost-too-pretty-to-use palette in small batches of 10 to 20. After mixing blends of pigments, powders and oils, she carefully adds each colorful striation to the 4-gram pan and presses them with a weight. Cornelius suggests going bold by using all five hues. But for those looking for a softer touch, try using a powder puff or wide contour brush to create a subtle sunset-like gradation. You can also use each shade as an individual eye shadow. “I like to support women in being themselves, being bold and trying new things,” she says, “not just following [the crowd] and trying to look like someone else.” 330-464-6546, glamandgraceshop.com
