i LOVE this so much! i think the glitter isnt so much a problem (to me) its not like its going to turn you to the cullens, it just makes me look fresh :) the color is so pretty and i use this over my mineralized loosepowder in light med, which is somewhat lighter than my skin color, so use this to sorta neutralize it. i use a kabuki brush for this because i thnk it sorta lessen the "glitter" look :)

Waay too glittery. Had the MA try this on me with a 224 and was okay but nothing special. Was debating whether to get this before discovered my left cheekbone where the MA had applied the highlighter had broken out. I'm absolutely positive this was due to the MSF as the spots appeared right where the highlighter was placed. Very disappointed and am still on the hunt for s good highlighter

Before I started using this product I was using another highlighter which worked fine, but my mom kept telling me about this powder that made her look 18 (hahaa), so of course I had to try it. I AM IN LOVE NOW!! PRODUCT DETAIL: My mom bought me the MSF 'cause the price of it sorta turned me off it. It's about $30 or so, but what I didn't realize was that there's actually a looot of product inside. You really don't need much of this @ all for application. The MSF in general just looks really nice 'cause of all the shimmers & swirls of golds & peaches. APPLICATION: I take my brush, which looks similar to the MAC #165, then I do one swipe in the product & apply it above & on my cheek bones to my ear (I basically apply it above my bronzer), then a little on my forhead & chin. I reallyyyy do love this product. it works as a wonderful highlight on your face & I heard it works well to highlight your brow bone as well. CAUTION, be careful not to put too much or else it may look odd 'cause of the immense amount of shimmer, unless thats what you're going for. Its magical in the sun :D continued >>

Perfect champagne highlighter. Huge size for how much product there is - it's super fine milled - a light touch produces so much shimmer its almost obscene so I use a fan brush or small duo fibre and work it into the skin on my cheekbone to make it appear glowy.
I wouldn't use this all over my face, or you could end up looking like a disco ball, but if you apply it on the tops of cheekbones and brow bones, its stunning. HG highlighter.

I love this highlighter. So BEAUTIFUL. When I was at the MAC counter the makeup artist applied it over my blush, I took one look at said, I'll take it! If for some reason I go awhile without using it and put it on, I fall in love all over again. I apply with a fan brush or small brush blush to the tops of my cheeks, after my blush and it makes my skin glow and shimmer. Use a light hand, it will last forever. Love this stuff, have not found an equal. I want to try additional colors as well. When I prefer less "shimmer" I use Bare Escentuals Clear Radiance.

A very pretty highlighter. I use it to highlight my cheekbones and my cheeks with my MAC 138. Its a luxurious velvet-soft powder with high-frost metallic finish. Smoothes on: adds buffed-up highlights to cheeks and brows, or an overall ultra-deluxe polish to the face.

A really good highlighter, i use it to highlight my cheek bones or on top of my cheek bones. Its really pretty, it gives me a pretty golden glow when the sun hits my face. The only reason why i wouldn't buy it again is because I'm sure there are cheaper alternatives to it that does the same job. I discovered that the ELFs golden bronzer from the studio line is great, one of the colors in that bronzer is a golden peach color and is shimmery and I've used it as a highlighter and it works great aswell and is way cheaper. But overall, the Mac's soft and gentle does work and looks great

i was eyeing this forever..swatching each time i passed MAC (which is everyday on my way to work :S) . finally bought it and wanted to love it but im not sure i do. this sheers out on my face to just glitter being buffed out. i was also expecting a more golden glow effect with this and havent been getting. with other highlighters..like my smashbox soft lights shimmer, i can brush a little bit over my blush to illuminate it as well as highlight the top of my cheekbones as usual but with this msf if i try to get an all over-cheeky glow, it's a bad idea. just glitter on my cheeks and not the sheen i was looking for. i still do quite like it on the top of my cheekbones

I've been using this as my highlight for awhile now. I'm NC30 with yellow tones and this works nicely. It gives a subtle champagne coloured sheen to my cheeks and I can imagine it would work nicely for different skintones too. Every MSF looks slightly different in the pan. Mine has a bit more gold/champagne deposit than peachy ones so it has worked better for me. This is best applied with a light hand (unless you prefer a shimmer overload). The shimmer can get a little chunky but that's typical with MSF's in general. Overall, I checked "no" to repurchasing just because I think this product is very dupe-able.
