The CTZN Story so far...

CTZN Cosmetics is a new-age makeup brand founded by three sisters Aleena, Aleezeh and Naseeha Khan. The Khan sisters identify themselves as third-culture kids, with their diverse backgrounds of being born in the U.S., raised in the U.A.E., with Pakistani ethnicity. 

The CTZN story came to fruition when founders Aleena, Aleezeh and Naseeha went shopping for cosmetics at a major beauty retailer and realized that not a single model in mainstream beauty campaigns looked like them, or better yet represented them. Models with 'middle brown' skin tones were hardly ever Southeast Asian or Middle Eastern. Beauty campaigns aside, the same issues were prevalent in beauty brands' product formulations, where certain skin tones and undertones are often not considered

I have the clear one here. It's not as exciting or as fun as the other one, but it's just a really pretty bomb. If you don't want the other color, the clear one is available for you. You can use it as a topper for your eyeshadow for that nice wet lid look. You can apply it on as a highlighter. Just a very, if you don't want those shimmery and you just want a nice natural glow, this is a thing to use. You can put it there or on your nose, cupid's bow, or even as a lip gloss. You can use this as a topper and apply it throughout the day if there's dry patches anywhere on your skin. You can just dab this on very lightly and just add it. So many uses for this. Even though it's not as exciting as its sister with the opal pearlescent color, it still is very useful, so I like this.

I'm trying the Citizen Cosmetics Glow Balm in the shade number 2, Pearl, even though I'm pretty sure that I ordered the one without the pearl finish, but whatever, we're just gonna try this one. Anyway, I'm swatching it on the back of my hand so you can see how much glow that actually has, but you can also apply some to a palette. I like putting it on a palette or the back of my hand and then just using something like a beauty blender or the sponge and applying it to the face this way instead of directly onto the face, so you don't end up with something that looks like an oil slick, and you can kind of control how much glow you're applying on top of the makeup without moving the makeup too much. It creates this sort of glass skin, skincare finish onto the makeup, and yeah, doesn't tend to crust up at all. I like this product a lot. I've definitely used something like this when I've worked on skincare ads as a makeup artist. Definitely a dupe for that skincare look, so love it.

So I'm gonna try something different today. I'm gonna use Citizen's Glow Balm. There are two shades, clear and pearl, and I'm just gonna add some dewiness to the face. And it's really cool because you can actually use this anywhere. So I'm gonna first go in and put on the eye. So I'm gonna use their clear shade and put that over a little bit of eyeshadow that I have. It's so lightweight, but it just adds this really nice shine and glow. It adds a little pop to your look. Feels lightweight, doesn't feel like anything's on my eye. It's a really fun product. You can put it over your own eyeshadows or own pigments. I'm now gonna go and use the pearl shade and add it to my cheekbones. Just add some highlight there. This is the pearl shade and it looks crazy, but when you put it on, it just adds like a really nice, subtle highlight. Just adding it to the high points of my cheek. You can even use this product on your lips, of course. This is the finished look.

You guys already saw all of my lipstick swatches for Citizen and they also have this. This is a nice pearlescent color shifting balm that you can apply everywhere. This is just beautiful. I'm so excited to see this. I mean look. That's what the texture looks like. Very balmy. Ooooooo. Look how pretty. You can apply this everywhere. Anywhere you want. Put it on your lid for that nice wet look. Those editorial looks with the wet eyelid look. As a highlighter. You can apply this right on top of your lipstick also. Beautiful color shifting. It's different. It's unique. It's fun. It's playful. This is just a nice glow without being overly dramatic. This would be just a fun little piece to add to your finished look. I like it.

The Globalm in Pearl color provides a nice glow without being overly dramatic, making it a fun addition to any finished look. Overall, Cynthia's review highlights the product's uniqueness, playfulness, and its ability to add a touch of fun to one's makeup routine.
