I like this product, it gives me a good highlight and is fairly blend-able. However, I don't think the price is worth it..benefit is overrated in my opinion. I use this almost every day, but I think next time I'm going to buy something cheaper.
i love this stuff!! if i wear powder foundation i put this on first then powder on top and it gives perfect natural glow. if im wearing liquid then i put it on after and it kind of blends with the foundation and gives perfect glow! its VERY easy to blend. kinda expensive but its a highlighter so it shud last long since u dont use much. i loooove benefit!
I have recently bought this n really like it. It quite nice when I go for the natural look. I apply it on cheekbone n under the eyebrow on daily basis n still think there is lots of product, will surely last me long. It's good for all skin tones I guess but dry skin girls might end up patchy. The packaging isn't travel friendly at all, afraid it's gonna break or spill. Wrapping it up, it's a descent product which can flatter u if used wisely.
I got this as a sample. It is a pearly pink-silver shimmery color. This imparts a semi-natural glow on my skin. I mainly use it on my cheekbones. It can look a little obvious and stark if not blended properly, though.
Overall, a good highlighter, but not worth the money. And the packaging is AWFUL! The worst ever. A good 1/8 of my bottle ended up on the area around the mouth of the glass container. Yeah, the nail polish idea is cute, but really a terrible waste for an expensive product

This highlighter is so wonderful! It's a nice light pinky-toned shade that's prefect for people with lighter skin tones. If you have a darker skin tone or olive complexion then I would reccomend sun beam to you which is more golden/champagne-toned. However, this one works for fair skin like mine and gives me such a nice glowing healthy look. It is expensive but it obviously lasts a long time so it's worth it! The packaging can be a little difficult as the brush tends to get way too much product on it so I reccomend putting a little on the back of your hand and then using your other hand to get a little on your fingertips and apply it. It's so much easier and less messy that way.

Benefit High Beam is a liquid highlighter which comes in a nail polish bottle. The container is glass so it's got some weight to it. It cost me $28 at Sephora. The color is pinkish with a fine sparkly look. The formula is not thick or sticky but when I put it on it seemed a little heavy and so it felt like I was getting oily faster. Since the applicator is meant to put directly on the skin, returning it to the bottle probably causes contamination which would affect how long the product lasts.
I also purchased E.L.F.'s facial whip in lilac petal for $1 at Target. It comes in this little plastic tube with a very similar looking liquid. Even though it says lilac, it was more pinkish to me. It lasted just as long as the high beam and the coloring was the same. The formula didn't feel as heavy on my face and it didn't cause me to get oily. Since the applicator is a tube, you would just squeeze it out and you're not touching the inside of the container and the rest of the product.
Based on the comparison, I returned the High Beam. ELF's Essential Shimmering Facial Whip was a great dupe. the container is less heavy, application is more sanitary and the results are the same for WAAAY CHEAPER! and there's more colors to choose from on their website.

This is my holy grail highlighter! I love it. I dot it along my cheek bones, higher up just under my eyes. Gives a. Lovely glow and stays all day. When I use powder highlighters they don't stay all day. This stuff does. It also looks amazing when I have a summer tan. I use it with the Hula bronzer. A match made in heaven!
Hate this product, such a dissappointment and waste of money! in the uk we can't return used make-up products either unfortunatly, I try using this with foundation and it cakes it, or takes it right off. when I put it on bare skin there is still no amazing glow, I've tried rubbing it in, dabbing it on, mixing it with foundation but it still just looks a mess I really liked the idea of getting a little glow on my cheeks but sadly this is not giving it at all, Will never ever re purchase, might try mixing some with cream blush in future but I won't get my hopes up
I love this product. It does just what the name says. It gives such a beam of light to your face. I love to use it on my cheekbones, the bridge of my nose, and on my cupid's bow (makes your lips look beautiful). The only down side (really not that bad) is that it can be a little difficult to blend. However, that will not stop me from repurchasing.
