What is shimmer?

Shimmer is a visual effect that creates a glimmering or sparkling appearance on an object. It is typically created using a combination of reflective surfaces and light sources, which bounce and refract off of each other to create a radiant effect. Shimmer effects are often used in fashion, makeup, and home decor items such as fabrics, clothing, flooring, and wall coverings. They are also commonly used in digital media, video production, and graphic design to add a touch of fantasy, magic, or elegance to designs. Shimmer effects can be created using a variety of techniques and materials such as glitter, metallic foil, holographic film, sequins, crystals, and iridescent or pearlescent pigments.
