I was skeptical at first hearing so many good reviews on an expensive little bottle of glowy water... but I am so glad I bought this. Adding a few drops to matte foundation adds a beautiful glow to my face that isn't from oil, haha! Or used as a highlighter it really catches the light in a flattering, natural way. So worth it!

The best for Photoshootings

I use High Beam allways for giving my model a high shine on the high points of the face. This days it´s allways about the skin and we, as Makeup Artist, have to give the models the healthy glow. I had tried lots of different shine products, but no other product gives me this amazing natural finish and a shine and not glitter effect. Also, with good techniques, can use on every skintypes and colors. Highly recommended!

Any beauty addicts must have

I've used this for years now and won't be with out it. I mix it in with my foundation for an all over luminous look, use it under eyebrows to enhance the arch and also high lights cheek bones. It doesn't have glitter in it either which is great!

Like it

It looks great with my skin. It captures the light amazingly and makes me look like my skin is glowing. However, i use it only use it for speacial occasions.

Amazing highlighter!

Pros:
Long-lasting
Very pigmented
Shimmers without glitter or sparkles
A little definitely goes a long way

Cons:
Pretty pricey at $28
Wouldn't buy again bc of the price, but if you can afford it, I highly recommend

Fantastic pop to any foundation routine!

I recently purchased Benefit's High Beam in a set with other sample products, and I am impressed! Since I have natural pink undertones in my complexion, this pink highlight would be perfect if you do as well! Though I love this product, I don't use it every day. I find that it is just a step too shimmery for daily wear, but I will definitely use it as a staple to any look that has a bit more "oomph" to it, for example a "Going Out" look, or even a "Sun Kissed" glowy appearance.
I normally apply Benefit's High Beam on the tops of my cheekbones after foundation and concealer, and BEFORE my powder products.
A great pair with this product is Physician's Formula Happy Booster in Translucent. This powder has the same hue to High Beam and will set it, leaving it long lasting through any event or activity.

With my skin being normal/combination, I normally use a powder to highlight, but this is gorgeous. I received a free sample with a purchase from sephora, and I may go back to get the full version!

Really nice

I will start off by saying I don't use it much anymore because I'm not a face product girl BUT, I've already used half the bottle! I'm not into highlighting but when I got this, it made it SO easy and it was a cool concept for the bottle. It has a brush applicator and is like a nail polish bottle. You don't need much and it gives you the glow people will compliment you on! It really is worth the 25 bucks! It lasts me all of my school day and it doesn't make me look "dried out" like powder highlighters can do. There isn't really a smell. If there is anything to complain about it would be the packaging but even that isn't a biggie with me. Overall, this product is FANTASTIC!

Benefit's High Beam is a "luminescent complexion enhancer", i.e a highlighter. This product is described by Benefit as "a satiny pink liquid highlighter to accent cheek and brow bones for a radiant glow. Use as a spot highlight or delicately blend all over your complexion. Looks perfectly radiant on all skin tones. It's the 'Supermodel in a Bottle!". That's a hell of a big claim to make! I got a smallre 4ml (.13fl oz) sample of this cult favorite highlight in Ulta's exclusive "Sexy Six" value kit, which ran me $24. The full size 13ml (.45fl oz) bottle retails for $26. My mini High Beam has a value of $8. Benefit does not test on animals and offers some details about their animal testing policy in their FAQ. My High Beam sample was made in France. Benefit products can be bought at department stores with Benefit counters, Ulta and Sephora and their respective websites, and directly through Benefit via their website.
Packaging for High Beam is a clear, round, hard plastic tube. The name of the product and the Benefit logo are written on the front in black lettering. A small amount of product and company info can be found on the back of the tube. High Beam's tube is topped off with a white plastic cap. Screwing the cap off reveals a stiff brush application absolutely saturated in product. Not the most hygienic applicator, nor should the brush be used to try to blend out High Beam. That's actually be a total disaster, like I said the brush is just loaded with product, so you'd end up with more highlighter on than you'd need for a week. I use the brush to dot the product on them and blend with my fingers. Anyway, packaging is simple and looks nice enough, not super sanitary though. It kinda reminds me of nail polishing packaging with the brush and all.
High Beam is a light creamy peachy pink highlight with a thin texture. This liquid highlight blends with ease. Only the littlest bit is needed. I use about eight tiny dots of product per cheek bone or two under the brow. That may seem like a lot, but really it's not. Once blended out, High Beam takes on a shimmery, ever so slightly pink tone. The shimmer particles are small and only noticeable if you look quite closely. The only way anybody else will see any actual shimmer from High Beam is if they're seriously invading your personal space.
I find High Beam to be quite similar in color to That Gal, Benefit's brightening face primer. High Beam has more of a pearlescent finish. They're not dupes or anything, they're not even the same kind of product, I'm just commenting on the similar shade. Compared to a similar product like the golden hued Benefit's Girl Meets Pearl, High Beam gives a much more day time appropriate, softer, more natural highlight that gives the look of healthy, well moisturized skin, as opposed to a candle lit glow. High Beam is excellent for highlighting both the cheek and brow bone. The effect of High Beam lasts all day long no matter where I put it. I don't agree with Benefit that this liquid highlighter would suit all skin tones. It's slight pinkness would likely look pretty fake on those with very warm or very dark skin, if you fit into one of those categories you should probably opt for Girl Meets Pearl.
I like the naturally highlighted look that Benefit's High Beam gives. Luminescent is the perfect work to describe it, good vocabulary Benefit. The texture is thin but not watery and it blends easily. I think this highlighter is best suited to cooler complected people, just because of it's light pinky peach tinge. The packaging is function but some may prefer something a little more sanitary. As much as I like High Beam, I wouldn't repurchase it because I feel like I can find a much more affordable dupe for it, I've read about a couple of them and I'd like to look into it. If you want to try Benefit's High Beam highlighter, opt for one of their value kits. This is one of their most loved and most popular products, so it's included in most kits. Its a very good quality highlighter, and I recommend if it you have the money to spend on it.

great illuminator

i typically mix this in with my foundation for an allover glow, then come back through and highlight my cheekbones with it. i've found that the best way to apply it is to pat it in to your skin using your finger. great product!
