Overall Opinion:
I’ve never been a huge fan of any liquid highlighters, but this one is an exeption. It’s liquid, but not sticky or too glossy.
I think that this is a great product both for highlighting cheeks and bringing beutiful soft glow to face when used mixed with foundation.
The packaging is lovely, and product is easy to use, and I think that the color is suitable for every skintone.
I really recommend this one!
MUG Seal of Approval:
Pretty. <33 Would yuu recommend this vs. highlighting with something like MAC Cream Colour Base in Shell or Peal ?
It’s beautiful. I would use it.
Love that! Is there any other more common brand you would use though that got this kind of product? I’m talking about L’oreal, Maybelline, Max Factor etc. I live in sweden so it would be problematic for me to order this.
If your looking for drugstore brands, I know a makeup artist who uses Wet N’ Wild Shimmer Dust on her cheekbones and down her nose as a highlight.
Love!
This looks a lot like Smashbox’s Photo Finish Luminizer…
I was given Girl Meets Pearl in my Christmas stocking and love it!Do you have any tips on when in the makeup applying process I should use it? Thanks for the great reviews!
Depending on how much “glow” you want from you cream highlighter you can use it during different phases of your make-up application.
If you want just a hint of highlighting you can use it before your foundation.
If you want a dewy-glow you can mix a few drops of liquid highlighter into you foundation.
If you want a more substantial glow but still keep it subdued apply the liquid highlighter (by lightly dapping in onto you skin – no “smearing” as it will rub off you foundation-base underneath) and the fixate your entire face make-up with a light powdering.
For full-glowing highlight-effect apply liquid higlighter on top of you base makeup (again using a dabbing-motion) on the areas you wish highlightet. This gives the most noticable and “glowing” effect.
Some liquid highlighters are also great as bases for dry products such as powder highlighters and eyeshadows (depends though on you eyelids and quality of eyeshadow) as well as “glow-effect” for lipsticks.
Hope it helps you:-)
I’ve tried this and liked it but it’s way too expensive for a highlighter!!! Try the Boots #7 High Lights instead…I love it and much more reasonably priced!!! Boots products are sold at Target and Drugstore.com
thank you for the review i have been tempted to buy this it reminds me of a similar product by soap and glory called hocus focus.
its superb!!!! i feeling bad coz such lovely brand and products are not available in India
