Benefit High Beam Reviews

Lovely, Dewy Glow
Benefit has created an iconic product with the "High Beam" illuminator. I've tried illuminators from a huge number of companies and in a large range of shades, but this angelic pink gives the perfect, natural, dewy finish for my fair complexion. I love the fact that I can use it on certain areas, such as cheekbones, to bring them out, or mix with foundation for a tender all-over glow. In the summer, I don't sport a tan (I quit tanning and tanning beds years ago to prevent skin damage). But this gives me a radiance which can compete with all of the bronzed goddesses who are parading around at this time of year. — 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

Most of my cosmetics are Benefit
This is a very nice highlighter. It gives you an all over glow, or place in various spots of your face you want highlighted. Put over powder or it won't show. — 2 years, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 9 of 10 people said helpful

Beautiful
It's much easier to apply than powdered-highlighter with a brush. It's subtle and there's not too much shimmer. It blends well and doesn't cake on my skin. A little goes a long way for me. — 2 years, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 5 people said helpful

Nice, but powder is easier to use.
I had a makeover at Ulta and the makeup artist used this on me, as well as on my friend. It looked great! We each bought a bottle. But I personally think it's more work to use than a powder highlighter. I do like that I can mix a little with liquid foundation or moisturizer to give myself an all over glow, and the color is nice. The packaging is odd (it's like a nail polish bottle) but it's sturdy. The price tag seems pretty expensive for a little bottle, but it will last a long time. Lasts all day on my skin. Overall, a good product. — 2 years, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 7 people said helpful

Subtle Glow
I got a deluxe sample of High Beam in the Benefit "Finding Mr. Bright" set (a great little set by the way if you are interested in these types of products from Benefit). I had wanted to try High Beam for some time, but was put off by the price. I really like this though! When my sample is finished I will seriously consider picking up the full size version. The brush applicator makes this a breeze to apply, even on the go. The color is a sort of champagne pink that blends into the skin beautifully. IT is different to other highlighters I have because the color isn't gold or silver, it's more flesh toned, making it that much more natural. When blended, this imparts a super subtle shimmer that catches the light so nicely. I apply this after my foundation to the high points of my cheekbones and it lifts and brightens my complexion. Like others have mentioned, a little of this goes a long way so even my sample should last me several months. — 7 months, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Not bad!
I've never really had a huge interest in this product, but I got a free sample in a Sephora order so I decided to try it out. It's kind of thin, I think, but it goes on nicely and is very easy to blend. It's really a very nice, subtle highlighter, though if you wanted or needed to, I think you could probably layer it on a little heavier if you wanted a more intense look. I used this after my moisturizer and primer, but before I put on my powder foundation and the result was a very natural, lit from within glow. I put it on my cheek bones and it was also great as a highlighter right below my brows. It was quicker and easier than digging out a pale shimmery eye shadow to use on that area! Next time I need to purchase a highlighter, I just might get this one... — 9 months, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 5 people said helpful

Madly in love with this stuff!!
From the second I used this, I knew we were going to be lifelong friends. This is fabulous. It highlights my brows and browbone to perfection and looks stunning on the inner corners of my eyes. No matter where you place this, you will accent that feature perfectly. — 10 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful

best high lighter
I like this to give glowing nudy face look by applying it to the top of my cheeks and browbone. It is subtle if you apply only a little, so no worries for obvious hi-lited look. The only thing is that this isn't portable. — 2 years, 6 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

gratifying
Pros: -excellent quality highlighter, for all areas of the face & neckline -nice, all day wear -not too thick or creamy -a little goes a long way! Cons: -the packaging, the bottle sucks. haha, seriously, once you get to that last drop there's no way your gonna get it out, and it starts to cake around the neck of the bottle. -the brush isn't the greatest, and it will start to fray. — 2 years, 4 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful

Best cream highlighter
I love this highlighter. You get a lot and a little goes a long way. It's so pretty and not too crazy. I don't care for the nail polish bottle packaging. It is easy to patt over a finished face and I find it doesn't harm my powder when I do! — 1 year agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 4 people said helpful
