Hunching in front of our laptop screens and working until the wee hours of the morning is not, it turns out, a recipe for glowing skin. However, this face highlighter from Benefit could fool anyone who’s unfamiliar with our sleep habits. The creamy formula creates a soft-focus, healthy champagne glow on cheeks and brow bones. A few swipes and behold: You’re the proud owner of a gleaming complexion.
I LOVE this stuff! I use it everywhere; cheeks, under eyes, eye brow, etc. My favorite trick is rubbing my finger on the end and spreading it under my eyes. I tend to have dark circles and this helps give me some extra spunk. I use my finger only because the stick is too big to rub under my eyes, but it works great everywhere else!! <3
5The best highlighter ever. I've actually owned the full size of this for the longest time and I love how much highlight it gives me. It's super easy to apply. The sample will last me a couple months I'm sure, it's pretty huge. Benefit makes the best products! If you're a beginner and are looking for a highlighter, this is it!
5While the sponge applicator really doesn't do much in terms of effectiveness, the highlighter is wonderful! It is a little thick, by just blend with your fingers or a beauty blender and you should be alright. The color and shine is wonderful and natural looking: overall, a great product!
4This is a great highlighter; the color really blends in well, and creates a beautiful glow. I bought it after recieving a sample as a gift from my sister in law. I have to say, I did prefer the same, because of the size of the applicator! I use this a lot on my brow bone and inner eye-lid, and the full size one just doesn't fit in those spots, so I have to use my finger and then transfer the product, or it gets all of my face!
Overall, still love the product and highly recommend.
I really like this highlighter, love that it goes to a powder formula, because I have really oily skin and large pores and this has applied pretty naturally--adds a glow without settling in pores or looking cakey on top of my setting powder. I wish they had at least one other shade/color, the champagne is really nice but I have to be careful with it to not look like I'm putting a bunch of gold on, as my skin tone is very very pale with pink tones...so I wish they had more of a pearlescent option. But if I'm light-handed and only use it in select places, it can give a nice glowy effect. The sample doesn't have the blender, which would have been nice--it's done well with just my finger, though.
5I've never done contouring/highlighting, nothing. But on a whim, I decided to try strobing and bought this product and I do really like it. It's super subtle but really pretty and it blends really well. The packaging is great and Benefit products in general are really nice and high quality. I do really like it, I just think I need to practice strobing.
