Universal Highlighter Makeup
“I have probably tried ALL liquid and powder highlighters… THIS is literally a gloss highlighter that looks like glass”
Cute Highlighter Makeup
“Absolutely love the way this product looks on, however the packaging is not it despite it being super cute! The main issues are the product separates a lot and is intended to be applied with the cold metal applicator, but bc of the separation and the product spits out vs coming out smoothly I usually end up puttting on my hand to heat up and mix before applying”
Dark Highlighter Makeup
“To me, this is more of a slightly luminous base than a standalone highlighter. It doesn't have the shining quality I prefer in my highlighters, as even when I apply it on top of my makeup, it gives a barely there sheen”
Body Highlighter
“This is the first time Im writing a review for any product. This highlighter is Amazzzzzing. It is exactly what I wanted for my body highlighter”
Pigmented Highlighter Makeup
“So here is my take on it. It is not as pigmented as my other highlighters so I use it as like a “highlighter primer” to give a good base for my much stronger highlighter (benefit cookie highlighter) so I actually really like it for that purpose”
Solid Highlighter
“The packaging was very elegant! It's a nice heavy, solid compact with a good sizes mirror. The color is gorgeous, however I was disappointed and I felt like I had to use alot to achieve the right amount of highlight compared to my favorite highlighter”
Non Shimmer Highlighter
“You don’t need a lot of it, and it’s so nice and sparkly without having any glitter or flakes and chunks in it! Just a super elegant highlight, and surpasses many high end highlighters I own, in formula, glow, and overall satisfaction”
Highlighters For Dry Skin
“I don’t like glittery highlighters. This product literally makes you look like you’re glowing from within”
Highlighting Powders
“I think it’s one of the best powder highlight formulas that I have tried. It will definitely be a staple in my collection”
Yellow Face Highlighter
“this highlighter is what to use if you want your face to be very noticeable and shiny. however, every time i wear it, i get 50 questions asking if i have glitter on my face. it’s solid if you want a glittery face though”
