Like another reviewer stated, this is ridiculously beautiful. I just grazed a large stippling brush over all the colors in this divine package, which is a rich plum/burgundy and contains a large mirror, and applied all over my face and neck and the most gorgeous look happened: like the way you look after a day in the sun and sea, bronzed and flushed and subtle. This is by far the most luxurious product in its category (bronzer/blush/highlight) i have ever seen. The shades blend into one another seamlessly in the compact (about the size exactly of an iphone 7s) and on my face.

My shade matches for reference
Mac NC35-42 (I mix for my perfect shade depending on the time of year)
Face and body C5
Maybelline Superstay 24hr- 220 (fall/winter) 310 (summer)
MUFE- y405

I have this in sx10 and sx11 and mix them to get my perfect shade. A little goes a very long way. You can use this alone, but I find that there a bit more drag that way and it WILL CATCH on to the drier patches in your face. I find it best mixed an eye cream if used under the eye: and I do love to use this as a mixer with foundation when I wanna bump up coverage and slightly correct the tone

OMG, where have you been?

this is the best of the best, very very high quality highlighter. perfect pure sheen not glittery, on the pan this looks pretty normal but on the face.. this is just amazing. can't recommend enough, very pretty champagne color, which is perfect for my nc15 skin tone. blends perfectly suits every makeup. staying power is also phenomenal. price is overwhelming but what can i say this worth every penny.

Definitely, on my top 5 highlighter list.

I've gone through some samples of this and it sounded like a foundation that would be quite wonderful! But I found it to be quite mediocre. For me, it didn't offer any type of ethereal glow.

It's just..... meh. It's a bit watery (which is fine with me) and sets fairly quickly. I've tried it with various primers and various methods of application but it just didn't do it for me. Almost seemed a bit drying....?? When I used a liquid luminous product under this, it looked fine, which surprised me because I had thought adding any type of luminosity would take this foundation WAY over the top! But that wasn't the case, whether I was in the sunshine, or at work under harsh lighting, the luminous addition helped some (RMS Magic Luminizer, Manna Sheer Glo as well as Mac Strobe).

There are definitely drugstore foundations that provide a nicer, smoother finish for my aging skin (I like Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hour Breathable liquid foundation and was so surprised to find it's not too matte for me, not cakey at all, and it really does hold up all day and night while providing a nice, healthy look! Also like the Bourjois 123 Perfect liquid foundation.)

I love trying different foundations and there are so many other options out there for far less money, that offer quite a nice finish on mature skin, but this one was surprisingly unremarkable.

I've tried many high end primers. So far, this one has been the best for my aging (40) extremily oily skin.

I put it on this morning and I sent the day outside in 30c weather. I's now almost 5pm and my makeup still feels freshly applied!!! I blotted once, but I didn't really need to. It is also very comfortable to apply, it comes in a pump and slides easily on the face unlike Becca's matte primer which although keeps the oil away, feels horrible when you wear it.

I'm wearing it with a foundation that does not wear well - usually in a few hours this foundation has slid all over my face into a greasy mess but it's still staying in place with this primer.

So worth the price!!
