So pretty!!!

This highlighter is so pretty. Looks natural but not in the sense that it is dull, but in the sense that it isn't glittery and is more of a sheen than glitter. Beautiful and glowy!!!!

So Beautiful But Broke Me Out :(

I LOVED this product initially. The glimmer it gives on your cheeks is stunning and I was so happy with the purchase, but the next day I noticed these terrible bumps starting to form on my temples and checks where I placed the product. I continued to use the highlight thinking maybe it was something else or my skin would get use to it but it did not. The bumps turned into full on acne JUST in the area where I used the highlighter. So sad that this happened. I will use it from time to time but never every day. The break outs are terrible. I'm selecting that I would recommend to a friend only because it so beautiful and I think you need to try it out for yourself since everyone's skin reacts differently.

This highlighter is my go-to for my natural looks. It gives such a nice glow to your face without being too glittery or flashy.

I would buy this again

This was the very first highlight I ever purchased a few years ago - I repurchased to use on someone for senior pictures and a friend for her wedding- it gives the most beautiful glow from within look but can also be layered for a beaming highlight!

Beautiful sheen, not glittery

LL from NC

I have been using this for years, it is perfect. It gives a nice glowy sheen rather than a sparkly look. It is long lasting and the price is great. On me it definitely shows up nicely but still looks natural. I don't like silvery white highlighters; I have fair skin, this is more of a candlelight color on me, it is a lovely color. Never had a problem with a breakout from this. Amazing product.

beautiful but too dark!!

vivian from skokie

i love this highlighter so much—it gives a glossy look with a powder and i feel like it gets better the further you get into the product. my only gripe is that unless i'm tanned, it's slightly too dark for me so i have to be really light handed.

Too dark for fair skin

Rachel from Houston TX

The Be My Highlight shade was too dark for my fair skin. I put it on and saw a brown streak where I placed it. The glow is perfect but the tone it too dark for highlight areas

It's okay

Nayonce from Riverside CA

I have fair to medium skin tone and yellow undertone and this is okay, it's a little powdery but it goes on fine and smooth.

Perfect natural highlight

5

shelbs from Saint Paul

I have fair/light skin with neutral undertones. This is the perfect natural highlight. Your skin, but better. Glow from within. Does not emphasize texture. Jessica Braun recommended this and I'm so glad I tried this!

Amazing!

Raylee from Tennessee

I put this on around 7:30 am and when I looked in the mirror at 6:30 pm it looked like I was glowing! This is so buttery and not glittery or shimmery at all! It is the best highlighter ever!

I would buy this product again

Donna from Oklahoma

This will give you a slight sheen it's very subtle, and adds a little color as well

Better than high end

5

Dayna from Atlanta

Bought this because one of my favorite beauty YouTubers recommends it. Wonderful highlighter! This is a great every day highlighter that gives a "lit from within" look. I have tons of high end highlighters and this can stand up to all of them.

Amazing

will repurchase from Murrieta, Ca

If you want a subtle glow after baking with translucent powder, look no further! this is it! its perfect!! it brings life back into your face after all that baking. I would 1000% recommend. Perfect dupe for hourglass. Tati recommended this a while back and im so glad she did!

Lit From Within

5

Glo from Asheboro, NC

I have always had this highlighter on my radar for as long as I can remember. I never picked it up because I typically prefer "blinding" highlighters, but recently I just said why not and purchased it and let me tell you, I do NOT regret it! Yes it is more subtle than I'm used to but it is so stunning, it truly gives you the "lit from within" kind of look and I am here for it. I wore it for 12+ hours yesterday and I got so many compliments! it seemed to just sink into my skin the longer I wore it. If you want more of a BAM look, I recommend layering colurpop's flexatarian, or just another highlighter over it. I definitely recommend this product to anyone and everyone! and for such a cheap price, why not?

I like this better than the expensive highlighters

Christina from Utica, NY

This was way too subtle for my liking. Could barely tell it was on. Luckily I didn't pay much.

Great for natural looking highlight

5

Shelly from RI

I love this highlight because its simple but pretty. I don't have the best skin and this highlight doesn't bring out my texture like a lot do.

Excellent subtle highlighter

5

Gen from Kentucky

I love this highlighter! It is perfect for everyday wear- sheer but glowy- not glittery. My only complaint is that the packaging is super cheap and the lid likes to break off of the compact

Prettiest, Most Natural Glow

5

Anne from Denver

This is by far my favorite highlighter of all time, low and high end. If you want something soft and subtle that looks like you're glowing from within and don't like anything shimmery, this is IT.

Love this highlighter

SarahS from Luray va

When I first got this I didn't think I would like it but after using it once Iove the glow it gives. I have Fair skin and I tan very little in the summer but this works great for that healthy glow.

Healthy glow

5

Sandra R from Jacksonville Florida

This highlighter reminds me of a very expensive popular high end brand product (I won't use their name). No glitter. Just a stunning veil of healthy glow. It's definitely buildable for more shine. For everyday, this is my go-to. I reach for this before my expensive high end brands. This is not a super high glassy glossy highlighter. It does not accentuate my fine lines (I'm in my 50s and use on my cupids bow) Doesn't make any texture visible on my cheek bones or forehead. It has almost no color on my medium skin tone. It blends perfectly without disturbing my other products. This is a real review. I paid full price for my makeup. I have a rather large collection of high end and drugstore brand makeup. My focus is on performance, not price. But if I can get the same results from a less expensive product, I'm happy to save the money!

Not enough punch

Agnes from Florida

I was disappointed it was too dark and subtle for me it almost could serve as a blush but it is too toupe and not pink enough. Too dark for a highlighter on my fair skin but I think it would work on deep skin. I dont want to return it so I have been using it as an eyelid topper

Hourglass Dupe

Shania from Arizona

This highlighter is amazing. I was looking for a dupe for Hourglass and this is it! It's smooth and gives a nice and soft glow all over my face

Lovely color for fair skin

5

KP from USA

I'd compare it to a milk makeup lit cream highlighter in powder form it gives the skin a nice illumination like a wet skin look instead of high sparkle on your face

Gorgeous ❤️

This highlight looks so natural which I love. I struggled so long to find a highlight that wasn't so flashy but this is it. It gives the skin a subtle but very pretty glow and I love that it looks so natural on the skin
