If you have been paying attention to TXT while they promote their new album Minisode 3: Tomorrow, then you would have surely come across a certain highlighter.
Ever since TXT started promotions for Minisode 3, leader Soobin's highlighter has been the talk of town after a clip captured by X user @myfavarcv went viral on the app. In the video, which has accumulated millions of views since it was first posted on April 5, 2024, Soobin's cheeks feature a magnificent purplish-pink glow that is just too gorgeous to ignore.

Understandably, the highlighter of choice sent MOAs and makeup enthusiasts into a frenzy. “The makeup artist that decided to put that highlighter on Soobin deserves to get a raise," someone commented, reposting the video.
“Need makeup brand ambassador Soobin asap the way everyone's been needing this highlighter from this clip alone," someone else added. “I need the highlighter the makeup artists are putting on Soobin,” a third person added, and well, ask and thou shall receive.
As noted by multiple fan accounts, Soobin revealed exactly which highlighter is the key to his glow during a recent fan sign event after a fan brought up the viral moment, and it's none other than the Dior BACKSTAGE Glow Face Palette.
Now, there are multiple Dior BACKSTAGE Glow Face Palettes featuring different shades, and Soobin did not specify which one his MUAs used specifically — he just pointed out that “it's divided in four sections” — but we can make an educated guess. Judging by the color payoff, it looks like Soobin's MUAs could have used either the 001 Universal or 004 Rose Gold versions — or maybe a mix of both — but the latter can no longer be bought in the U.S.
