The only highlighter you'll ever need!

Although one should be careful whilst applying this highly pigmented product, it's so easy to apply you can't really make a mistake. It gives you that "I'm awake!" glow and shows up wonderfully on camera. Use it with a light hand so as not to pull your foundation off, though, as I find it can attach itself to your makeup very quickly. I find it is too shimmery for use on the brow bone, but love it as a cheekbone and cupid's bow highlight.
It's expensive but I swear just doesn't run out! Well worth the money.

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!

Fantastic, if you can use it correctly.

I'm a fan of this highlighter - the product itself is gorgeous, warm and luminous, especially on my fair skin. However, the applicator is really, really strange. I'm not sure why they used nail polish for inspiration, but the brush is obviously not the best way to apply it.

I've used everything from blending brushes to fingers and sponges, with different results. I would recommend this, but only if you're willing to figure out your own system for using it. If that doesn't sound like your cup of tea, I also have the Benefit "Watt's Up," highlighter, which applies much easier on the first glow, but is more champagne-y than peachy, like this.

It's all up to your makeup system!

best highlighter!

this was one of the very first high-end products I bought, I was so happy when I bought this because of all the amazing things I'd heard about it! It defintley lived up to my expectations and was defintley worth the £18.50

A lot of people seem to dislike the application, but I really like it! Will defintley be repurchasing when it eventually runs out :)

LOVEEE <3

this is amazing. its a very subtle color of pink which flatters any skin tone. i have extremely pale skin and the soft pink really brings out the colors of my eyes and natural skin pigment. i love alot of benefit products and i have wanted this one for the longest time. i love it so much because it doesnt really require much effort and makes your skin more glowy! as long as you understand how to use high beam, i think you'll love it too!

not impressed

Everyone seems to love this product. It's really hard to blend in my skin, especially over liquid foundation. Also, it has a lot of pink in it, which I don't like in a highlight. I feel like it makes my face look more red. Also the back of it says it only lasts for 6 months which I could never get though that whole bottle in 6 months, for $30 I feel like it was a waste. I would not recommend this product. I rather use a MSF. I think this product could be really good for someone who doesn't mind spending a little more time to blend this and doesn't mind the pinkish color :)

Love this product and I take it everywhere!

This highlighter is awesome and a little goes a long way. It is compact and convenient to use as the applicator is a little brush. Its light and offers just enough shimmer and sheen to finish any application. I like that it is not to heavy and is blend-able. It is a little on the pricey side if you are on a budget but it lasts and is worth it in the end. Highly recommend!

Beamed my cheekbones red and irritated

I don't know if I got a bad bottle but I really wanted to love this product cause I have dry skin. It does not have that tween chunky glitters on it like some lotions and the sheen is so subtle and blending it is so easy. There's no scent to it which is great. The first time I applied it on, I love how dewy my face looks. I looked so healthy. It didn't last very long and by the end of the day, my cheekbones look red and irritated that I can't use my Clarisonic to wash my face for a few days. It broke me out the second time I used it. By the third time I used it, my skin is irritated and I broke out so that was it for me.

The best thing about this thing is that you can apply this anywhere on your skin.
