PRODUCT REVIEW

Benefit - High Beam

Benefit High Beam Highligter

Benefit's High Beam highlighter is the first liquid highlighter I've tried, and will maybe be the last. Firstly I will say that High Beam is pigmented, and I love the pearlescent shimmer it leaves.

Benefit High Beam Application System

I also like the application system which is similar to a nail polish application brush as you can see is the pic to the right >







Although the product works great as a highlighter I personally have an issue with blending it out to create a natural sheen across the cheek bone rather than a shiny patch over my set foundation, which is easily achieved using powder highlighter. However this issue may not occur if you leave you setting powder application till after using the high beam, so the liquid can blend easily straight into the consistency of your foundation.

How High Beam applies to skin

High beam - blended into the skin

As you can see in the above pictures, the product leaves a pearly sheen on the skin. I suggest that this product is NOT used to highlight the nose chin or forehead. Just from my own experience, I noticed that it really made my nose and T-zone area look extremely oily (not dewy, OILY) and too shiny.

Overall I much prefer to use a powder highlighter, but judging the product despite of this, I would rate it an 7/10 considering its pigmentation and colour.
