Benefit High Beam Highlighter

I heard many things about this product, positive and negative so I thought I would like to try this product out. I knew I would not be disappointed as Benefit products are good in my opinion.

Description: Our satiny pink liquid highlighter accents cheek & brow bones for a radiant glow. Use as a spot highlighter or delicately blend all over your complexion. Looks perfectly radiant on all skin tones.

How to apply: Dot and blend over makeup on to cheek and brow bones, or anywhere you want a glance to linger.

My thoughts: I loved this highlighter the minute I first used it! It gives a very subtle and natural glow which is perfect for everyday wear. I find it perfect as it highlights my nose to make it look taller and it is the perfect consistency for highlighting on the upper cheek. I find that if I used this highlighter in the inner corners of my eyes to make them look more awake, it does not last very long and it does not make a difference to my eyes, therefore I think this product is mostly suitable for my cheeks and the nose. The product only lasts for a few hours and so must be reapplied throughout the day.

Pros:

• Natural finish
• Easily blendable
• Natural sheen and no large particles

Cons:

• Only lasts for a few hours
• Pricey
