Nice, natural-looking highlighter...A little goes a long way so I give my brush a couple taps after swiping it across the highlighter to remove the excess. I usually prefer liquid highlighters as I have large pores and powders tend to look too harsh, but that's not the case with this. ...definitely a highlighter...i do want to emphasize how powerful this highlighter is. you don't need to dip in much for even a strong or bold highlighter look. i would say the actual quality of the highlighter definitely isn't bad, but you could find plenty of other highlighters (drugstore even) that are just as good quality if not better. the packaging is definitely high quality though, definitely the only thing that would set it aside from most other highlighters. nothing special, but also nothing bad.

What it is: A creamy, weightless highlighter that illuminates and visibly smooths the appearance of skin, for a healthy, effortless, back-from-the beach glow.

What Else You Need to Know: This ultra-silky, soft-focus powder melts onto the skin and blends effortlessly. It is a transparent blend of microspheres and light-refracted pearls that leaves no visible powdery effects.
