Love this pink pearly highlighter. I tap it around the outside of my eye socket and down onto the top of my cheekbone. Brings attention to the shape of the face and eye. Really flattering.
Eh this highlighter was kind of a turn off for me.I've heard so much about Benefit High Beam and I owned it a couple of years ago but I wasn't really into highlighters then so I just gave it to my sister but currently I've been in love with highlighters so I tried High Beam out again. Its not a bad product I just don't like how its 26 dollars for an itty bitty bottle and its personslly too shimmery for my liking. Its not hard to blend but I think this will more suit pale skin tones rather than olive or dark skin tones because its a pink pearly color and its not really attractive on my skin tone. The staying power isn't fantastic either maybe because its a liquid? Not sure but it kind of faded within an hour for me.

I love this product! I dont really use highlighter too much, but this is really great to mix with foundation. to creat this look: mix one part liquid foundation (a thicker foundation works best) with one equal part high beam and apply as usual. It will give you a beautiful luminous glow. I have repurchased a couple times and will continue to do so.
I tried a load of highlighters before finding this one and now my quest for the perfect highlighter is over!
A small amount goes a long way, the product last ages without going clumpy!
Its easy to blend on top of foundation without wrecking your base
Its very subtle but when it catches the light it creates a beautiful glow
I prefer this too the moonbeam as it looks a lot more natural and has a better finish!
It works great on pale skin tones!

This stuff is my favourite. It really has lasted me a long time, you only need to use a little! It's a bit pricey for $25 but it's totally worth it ! Would definitely buy again.

Love this product it's my HG for highlighting in contouring , I think it leaves a sheer look on the face rather than a glittery look ! I like to use this under my eyes and on my cheek bones before and after foundation and then also on the bridge of my nose after foundation and also on the Cupid's bow ! Then I use bronzer to contour . I like the packaging but I am afraid of dropping it because it's made of glass , it's never leaked or anything though so it's all good :) the price is decent enough could be a little cheaper but what can you do ! All together a great product that I will definetley repurchase
This is by far the best highlighting product I have ever tried. I like using it on my cheekbones but what I really love doing is mixing it with my foundation. The first time I tried this I thought I was going to faint because my makeup looked so amazing. I will never go without this because it makes your makeup look so dewy and fresh. Perfect product for mixing into your moisturizer, liquid under eye concealer, foundation. AMAZING.
Oh high beam, I really do love you, but I'm going to have to leave you for a cheaper drugstore dupe. Your pink undertones are very complimentary on my fair NW skin. You actually stay with me all day, almost like we were born to be together.. The only problem is that I don't have the money to be shelling out $30 everytime you run out and need to be revived. You don't last forever unfortunately. I'd much rather be spending that on an eyeshadow palette or a coverage product instead of a highlighter like yourself. I would yearn for you to always be mine, but all good things must come to an end.
I've recently purchased a BeneFit mini-kit which included High Beam. I have to say my expectations were rather high, especially since I have been using a dupe from e.l.f. (Shimmering Facial Whip in Lilac Petal) and I was curious how does it compare to the original.
High Beam is less pink than the e.l.f. dupe, it gives a pearly, luminescent, almost colourless glow. It's also more liquid and less dense than the e.l.f. highlighter. Unfortunately, after an hour or so, any trace of it has completely disappeared. The glow is very subtle to begin with, barely noticeable, no matter how much product I apply, and after some time, it's completely gone and matte. I'm extremely disappointed. In comparison, the e.l.f. highlighter offers a visible, buildable glow and resists well during the day, I've received compliments for my glowing skin hours after applying it.
High Beam is also ridiculously expensive for what it provides, and I fear the packaging is quite unpractical. It's a small bottle, but the liquid is quite dense and clings to its walls, thus I imagine that it will be really hard to fully consume the product, since there's no way of getting to the residues on the walls of the bottle.
Overall, I would not purchase this again, I've seen A LOT cheaper highlighters that do a much better job.
