In Makeup, What Are Light Diffusers?
In makeup, light diffusers are micronized mineral particles that adhere seamlessly to the skin, reflecting light away from fine lines, wrinkles, or redness. Light diffusers may also simply be crushed minerals in makeup; these particles are slightly larger than micronized particles, but both function similarly and can diffuse light. Light diffusers are typically found in products applied to the face, including moisturizer, primer, eye cream, and liquid or powder foundation. Diffusers may also be found in some body lotions. Light diffusing makeup works by filling in fine lines, wrinkles, and other imperfections, and reflecting light away from them. It makes the skin appear brighter, fresher, and healthier, and often works to brighten and highlight the face. It smooths the texture of the skin and makes pores appear smaller, as well as diminishing the appearance of redness.
