“I love this highlighter. It is a universal shade that works with any skin tone”
White Highlighter Makeup
“[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] It’s a nice highlighter, but I have others I like better. It looks more champagne colored in the pan but it reads more white on my skin”
Cute Highlighter Makeup
“I’m not huge on my face being glowy but used half a drop as a highlighter and it’s cute”
Dark Highlighter Makeup
“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”
Orange Highlighter Makeup
“While I loved the portable size and the convenience of them, I found the blush and bronzer rubbed down to the same orange-y shade. This may work better for some skintones other than my pale complexion.They are nice and creamy and easy to blend, and the highlighter is more dewey rather than glittery which I am a fan of”
Body Highlighter
“I've been using it on my body because it's a bit too oily for my face, but wow, what a glow it imparts to my body”
Pigmented Highlighter Makeup
“I usually don't like highlighters because I find most to feel too much for my preferred natural makeup look but like all other Saie's products, this highlighter works super well with my skin and enhances everything in a really beautiful way”
Solid Highlighter
“It is an average highlighter that is too expensive for what it is. It gives you a pretty glow but that is achievable with many other highlighters for a fraction of the price from many other highlighters available”
Highlighters For Dry Skin
“Just got this highlighter and I like it! I’m not used to using liquid highlighters, I typically reach for powder but this one is super blendable and lightweight”
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”
