I was a bit skeptical but I loved this product!! It is super light weight and makes my skin look so glowy! It is light coverage but that works for me. ...Perfect everyday no-makeup look base you need!...I use around 3-4 drops and apply it using my fingers and just apply a sheer powder on top - and it works perfectly! It does have a little oily shiny look so might not work for oily skin types, but definitely works for me.

Radiant

Had better luck with the Eye Lights Matte....I prefer the Brow Duality over the Pro Pencil, but I'd recommend it to warmer skintones who wanted a less dramatic sculpted eyebrow (i.e. my fellow eyebrow obsessors who work in offices or other more conservative work environments).

What it is:
A multitasking pencil that works as a brow and facial highlighter, a concealer, or an ideal priming base for eyeshadow.

What it does:
This portable pencil does the work of five makeup bag must-haves in one convenient tool. Use it to conceal blemishes, dark circles, and flaws, or to highlight the brow, face, and eyes. Cover brow hairs as they grow back in, line your lips, or use as an eyeshadow primer for lids. The Pro Pencil does it all.

It lasts all day, too. Granted, I'm in an office all day, but still, it's not like lip balm that you have to keep reapplying throughout the day. ...It gives that glow you like when the light hits just right without any glitter. Obsessed!!

What it is: A clear highlight balm with no shimmer or glitter for that glassy, luminous skin-effect without pore-clogging ingredients and is safe for sensitive skin.
