Anastasia Eye Lights Matte
TWMichello (160 reviews)

Got this as a "deluxe sample" with my Sephora points. I love it just below my brows to emphasize the arch and I also use it on the inner rim of the lower lash line. I had always read that this color on the inner lower rime will brighten the whites of your eyes...BINGO! Great product! I love this pencil - the only problem is that I can't find many sharpeners that fit the big tip. Luckily, I picked up one at Sally Beauty Supply. Anyway, this pencil adds light without shimmer - perfect for days when you want subtle highlighting. Yes, I would buy again. I was using Stila's Topaz Kajahl pencil, a fleshy-peachy shade to erase the purple-blue veins and darkness on my eyelids and basically make them look better without much makeup. Great idea, but not the ideal product. Enter Anastasia's Matte Apricot, a soft, fleshy peach. Not only it's the perfect shade to even out my lids and highlight brow arches, it turns into powder as it hits the skin and doesn't smudge off like Stila's. Is $21 too much to pay for rested, luminous eyes in a pencil? I don't think so. — 1 month, 3 weeks ago

i use this as a highlighter under my eyes and under my browbone. it is just really amazing. it brightens and it doesnt settle into the wrinkles under my eyes. definitely recommend it. it lasts all day and truly brightens up the face. — 2 years, 9 months ago

Over- Priced Crayon
leo1999 (560 reviews)

The Anastasia highlighter was a fun gift from Sephora but I won't be buying it. It added a little pizzazz to my eyes with its soft tip but I'm not the make-up artist so other than a little "garnish" to my face, it was an over-priced crayon. — 2 years, 6 months ago

<3 the format but...
lissasioux (44 reviews)

am i alone in thinking that a standard concept and texture i short of amazing? i believe the format is ultra convenient but i wouldn't call it a staple because so many other products do the same thing! also for me, this disappears after about an hour unless i draw a few heavy layers and blend super lightly. perhaps the color is hard to find (that perfect peach/pink nude) but my Revlon matte. eye shadow in "Peach Sorbet" serves the exact same purpose for only $4, compared to the crazy $21 tag. brow products are ireally just clever marketing. UPDATE: still disappears faster than i like, perhaps due to the creamy texture, however i've experimented with placement and instead of the typical underbrow, i use it on the inner corners and UNDER my eyes, where they appear a little dark near the lash line. it is a pick me up. the creamy texture makes it super blendable. i'm still on the fence about repurchasing because i love that Revlon shadow i mentioned earlier for a fraction of the price, but i bumped it up from 4 stars 6 because the PENCIL does seem to last awhile. — 2 years, 8 months ago

I got this as a sample and I love it....it really highlights your eyes. I use it under my brow to brighten my eyes. When I run out I will definitely repurchase! :) I also use it by itself and rim my bottom lashes without wearing anything else besides mascara and it makes you look so awake and alive! — 3 years, 1 month ago

I love this product for all the above-mentioned reasons: it is creamy, easily blends and provides a beautiful highlight without shimmer. Did you hear that? No shimmer! Love it. — 3 years, 5 months ago

its ok
skywalker (103 reviews)

For me it creased after a couple hours. I like the application and the light color, but the staying power wasn't there. — 3 years, 7 months ago
