  1. Love everything about it

    Ruth

    I received a mini sample of this product and it is now at the top of my wishlist! It can be used alone to groom your eyebrows or after applying powder. I love it because it doesn't make my eyebrows feel stiff and there is zero flaking. It applies a beautiful glossy finish and holds for hours. This will definitely be a staple in my morning eyebrow routine. Love it. Easy yes recommendation.
  2. Nice highlight

    Cait

    This is a nice highlighter and gives a natural glow. Can be layered for a brighter highlight or subtle look
  3. Love it!

    Ana

    Perfect pink highlighter for lighter skin tones. Gives a beautiful glow and is easy to blend.
  4. natural looking

    Sidi

    I feel like it gives me a natural looking glow, and if I want more I can easily build it up - a little goes a long way. It's also not overly glittery, so I don't risk looking like a disco ball. And being that it is a liquid, it blends very easily over powder.
  5. prefer powder highlighter

    Cindy

    this clumps up a lot on my skin when used with other makeup
  6. Really good

    T

    I don't use it everyday but when I go out for special occasions. The trick is to use it under the foundation and it works great.
  7. Disappointing for the price

    May

    It does give a nice shine but looks really silver and like I’ve put a chalky streak on my cheekbones. Not natural-looking at all, does not look good(maybe unless you have very fair skin).
  8. ok

    Luci

    I like the product on its own, but you can't put it on after powder foundation as it just clumps up
  9. A staple in my stash.

    Ella

    I started using Benefit High Beam after NARS Illuminator, which I found hard to blend. High Beam is significantly better. It's easy to apply, the light pink shade is very flattering on my pale skin, the shimmer is finely-milled so you're not getting chunks of glitter, and a little goes a long way.

    Due to hyperpigmentation I tend to wear full-coverage foundation and concealer, which c...

  10. Nice glowy look

    Ella

    This pinky toned highlighter is nice to brighten skin and get a nice glow. I prefer it under foundation to be illuminated from within. It's definitely for paler skin types.
  11. Great!

    P

    This is one product that I highly recommend because I’ve been using this since forever and I still love it... it’s alway in my make up bag and I never leave the house without it
  12. i've adapted for me

    Renee

    this would be great for really fair girls. i can't use it for just highlighting my cheekbones because it just doesn't suit my skin tone, but when my skin is looking a little dull, i'll just add a dab of this to my primer and it will just give my skin the little boost it needs to look a little brighter.
  13. like it

    m

    been using this a long time, love the highlighting prior i put my foundation on.
  14. So pretty

    Lydia

    I’d buy this again in the travel size.

    Lasts ages so you may as well get the cheaper one.

    Lasts all day as well and gives a really nice glow/sheen.
  15. great

    Sam

    such a beautiful highlighter. goes on easily and looks so dewy! Absolutely love this product

    Nomes

    I have been using this product to highlight under my brows for the past 10+ years which must say something. Absolutely recommend it.
  17. great liquid highlighter!

    Alice

    Perfect colour sits on skin nicely and blends in seamlessly compared to other liquid highlighters ive previosuly tried.
  18. Good On its own or mixed with foundation

    Minka

    A really nice highlight that lasts a long time. I use it daily on the top of my cheekbones, and just on the cupid's bow above my lip. It also works well mixed in with your foundation.
  19. Nice Finish

    Kit

    I find this highlighter gives a really nice luminous finish but doesn't apply well on top of some foundations (especially full coverage) so I tend to opt for a powder highlighter.
  20. Pretty good

    Tori

    The colour of this highlighter is AMAZING, so gorgeous! I did struggle with the liquid aspect as I am a noob when it comes to highlighter and ended up putting way too much on but it was still really nice.
  21. I need to mix it

    Emma

    I used to use this in my teens and recently purchased it again (I think I was feeling nostalgic). I didn’t find it very pleasing when used on it’s own - it sort of dried down in a streaky/patchy way. But, mixed in to another product it worked well - in particular I got experimental and put some in some lanolips original ointment then dabbed it on my eyelids and upper cheeks - the effect was so goo...

  22. The diva of all highlighter

    Maria

    I love the packaging and I love that satin finish glow on cheek. And I also find it amazing when I mixed it to my liquid foundation it creates glowing canvas on my skin
  23. Expensive but worth it

    Kate

    Lasts forever, gorgeous glow and colour tone. Blends seamlessly!
  24. Prefer a pencil

    Phoebe

    This liquid highlighter is the right shade for my pale skin, however I find it a bit difficult to apply for the look I want and prefer the result from the Benefit High Brow pencil

    shana

    I've been using this product for years, its the best and lasts ages.
  26. Just Gorgeous

    MB

    Great highlighter. Bottle is like a nail polish bottle, so i just dot 3 dots of the illuminator on my upper cheeks, and pat them in gently and quickly for a fabulous finish.

    Kaylah

    Perfect highlighter! Beautiful colour that blends seamlessly and gives a shimmery effect without being too heavy. Can’t get enough of this brand!
  28. Not Amazing, Not Terrible..

    Britt A

    I'm a bit of a highlighter junky so thought I'd give this one a go. I'm quite light skinned - in between a peachy / olive complexion so found the colour is a little bit too cool or pearl toned for me. I'd definitely wear this for more of a 'night out' look then every day, as it's not as warm as I would like. Spreads pretty well, and sinks fairly nicely into my skin. Does dry slightly too quickly f...

  29. Not for medium skin tone

    Kelly-Ann

    This doesn't suit a yellow and medium undertone - unless you're going for a more frosty highlighter look. I'd say this would look awesome if you were fair though. Get sun beam if you're an olive skinned girl like me.
  30. Beautiful!

    Do

    Very natural highlighter! Looks beautiful alone or mixed with foundation!
  31. Great for a natural looking lift

    Freya

    Goes on nice and smooth and isn't too intense. It's perfect for everyday use and I find I can build it up if I want it to look more noticeable. The packaging is great. The only downfall is that it seems overpriced.
  32. Great luminizer

    Ashley

    High beam mixes so well with foundation for a lit from within glow, and gives a beautiful pop to the brow bone and cupids bow by itself, it however doesn't play nice with all foundation formulas and is best with a liquid benefit foundation. Will keep buying this as my liquid highlighter
  33. Beaming!

    Lily

    I have used this product for years. my favourite way to wear it is mixed in with my foundation for that extra bit of glow from within. I love the tone and am always highly recommending this product to friends!
  34. Lovely highlighter

    Amber (Adore Beauty Staff)

    I loved this product, it is a subtle highlight and not too glittery. Very easy to apply and really gives a lovely glow. Especially liked using it to highlight the Cupid's bow

    High Beam is my favourite highlighter, I especially love using it on the inside part of my eye to open my eyes in the morning.

    I use this product every day I apply makeup. It is my last step - to add some highlighting and illumination on my cheek bones, brow bone, down sides of nose and on my cupids bow. A few dabs of this in these particular areas changes the appearance of my face in an instant, making it glow in a subtle way. I love it!!!!

    Jogroen (Adore Beauty Staff)

    its ok, but I don''t think it went very well with my skin tone. I think it was a bit light for my medium skin tone. Also found it a bit runny, would be better and easier to apply if it was slightly thicker. But it would give the right effect on the right skin tone.

    Anonymous (Adore Beauty Staff)

    A big call, but I think this is my Holy Grail of Highlighters. My HGoH. High Beam is a lovely pearly pink, which looks very girly in the bottle but adds just a hint to the face. Has such a nice texture and you only need a tiny bit to bring your face to life. I dot it on cheeks, browbone and on the cupid's bow. So sweet.

    Anonymous (Adore Beauty Staff)

    I like this, but with reservations: I find it a little TOO sparkly and silvery for daytime wear, or at least on its own. Particularly if I'm going for a dewy/summery/bronzey look - the colour is just too silver. However I've taken to mixing a drop of High Beam with a tinted moisturiser (e.g. BECCA Luminous Skin Colour or Invisible Zinc Tinted Daywear) or even just a plain moisturiser - the results...

    This is my new favourite product and a definite staple in my makeup bag. I wore Benefit High Beam out on the town, and when I got home (after a big night of partying) I still had a beautiful shimmer on the apples of my cheeks. I really love this product. You only need a tiny amount to create a beautiful highlighting effect on cheeks. Great value for money!
  45. Benefit High Beam review

    Anonymous (Adore Beauty Staff)

    I love this. It looks quite an icy pink in the bottle but on my fair skin it looked subtle and gave a lovely pale pink sheen. I have been wearing it thinly layered over blush for extra oomph or on its own for a pale and pretty look. Subtle but really does highlight. Wonderful product.
  46. Finally have that VS model skin glow!

    Mika

    Benefit's liquid high beam is the final touch to any look that adds the VS model skin glow. No other highlighter is high impact or easy to apply as this. Just paint a drop on your finger tips and dab on your cheekbones, nose & cupids bow for the final flawless touch!
  47. Love, love!

    Elizabeth

    Love this highlighter so much, a little goes a long way. I put it on my cheek bone and it just highlights perfectly. I have fair skin and it does not look too bright or shiny.
  48. Meh

    Nicola

    This highlighter isnt my favourite, i found it hard to blend out and was glittery on my skin. I personally would go for another liquid highlighter
  49. Glowy AF

    Abbey

    I've been loving this highlighter so much! Although it looks quite pink in the bottle it doesn't appear that way on the skin (which I definitely thought it would because I have yellow undertones). I have found that you need to work quickly with it, and that it's best to apply to a brush or sponge for application not directly to your skin, it seems to leave a patch of product where its placed which...

  50. Good for light skin tones with natural make up

    Natalie

    I have fair-light skin so this product is a great colour for me but don't know if it would work for darker skin tones. I find this product blends into my skin better without any other products on. If I place it on top of foundation it enhances the texture on my skin
  51. Lovely soft highlight that's buildable.

    Alison

    A little goes a long way with this stuff. The bottle lasts me ages. I use it on my cheeks and sometimes as an eyeshadow in summer for a light fresh look.

    I have pale skin and it suits me.

    It's not a glitter it's a sheen. There's no glitter flecks.
  52. Really pretty

    Alicia

    Ill wear this if I'm wearing dewy foundation because it blends in nicely, if I wear powder foundation I have trouble working this into my skin so that it still looks natural
  53. So pretty

    Holly

    I love it ! This is such a pretty highlight. Will definitely buy again
  54. Not a fan

    Amy

    I used to love this before I'd tried so many better liquid highlighters. The main reason I dislike it is because of the silvery pink shade. Its easy to use and blends well but the shade is not flattering on most skin types. A little dated.
  55. Obsessed

    Allie

    Have purchased twice because I just love this so so much. It's such a beautiful highlight. Looks good on most skin tones. Will purchase again. Make sure you blend straight away so that it doesn't take off the makeup underneath. Definitely takes a few tries to get it right but when you know how to use it, it looks stunning!
  56. This highlighter is a must

    sarah

    Not too over the top, lasts ages and does exactly what it says it does! I have a light to medium skin tone and I love this highlighter. Definitely gives you that pop that you want from a highlighter
  57. Long lasting

    Katie

    I love this highlighter but especially love how long it has lasted. It has outlived all of the other products I've tried. It's easy to apply and has a nice smooth consistency
  58. Love this highlighter!

    Kellee

    This is my go-to highlighter when I want a dramatic high light. It is build able so it can be sheered out for a more subtle day look. I really like the cool undertones with the silver for a more dramatic look.
  59. My favorite highliter

    Terry

    I lightly put the highliter on my skin and use a small beauty blender to spread it. Works pretty well for liquid but sometimes I have a problem getting it exactly where I want it
  60. Cute but not the best for me

    Terry

    Blends out if you use fingers. Not a brush. Went on well and lasted all day. Not as vibrant as I thought it would be.
  61. Love this!!

    Alex

    This luminizer has become a staple of mine. It gives your cheeks a little pixie pink shimmer and looks surprisingly natural and pretty. I use it on my eyes and cheek bones, and sometimes I put a dab on my lips and cover it with a sheer lipgloss- I'm addicted!
  62. Beautiful

    Jenna

    This highlighter is shimmery and quite natural compared to some of the more recent products on the market. Blends better if you dab with your fingers across the cheekbones and brow arch. Looks beautiful in the sun but doesn’t show up much at night if you’re after a dramatic pop of highlight.
  63. natural

    Nicole

    looks super flattering but hard to blend without moving your foundation around
  64. beautiful skin

    coco

    makes your skin look fresh and "awake" and luminous, without the hefty price tag. will always repurchase.
  65. Natural highlight

    Jen

    This product is a natural highlight in a swipe - though you can go for a blinding highlight by adding a powder highlight on top! It lasts quite a while, even the mini version - great for most skin tones
  66. Pretty highlighter

    Shea

    This is a pretty highlighter especially for beginners. I like to fix a tiny bit into my foundation for a lovely all over glow. It brightens up my dull. pale skin.
  67. great liquid highlighter

    Bhav

    I love how this product looks, blends and create a lovely luminosity . Its a little light for my tan skin tone to be used as a top highlight , however I use it under a layer of thin foundation to create a dewy look.

    I really enjoy the texture and how it does not highlight my pores like a lot of highlighters do.
  68. great liquid highlighter

    Madee

    I am more a powder highlight kind of girl but if you love the natural look this is perfect. Its like a nail polish & has an easy applicator to apply to the highpoints. Great colours.
  69. The OG

    Bette

    This highlighter is beautiful and came out before highlighters became super trendy, I love to use it mixed with my foundation for a dewy, youthful look. I've used it with both a foundation and a BB and it works well with both

  73. such a pearly glow

    Sarah

    This gentle creamy liquid is so lightweight, spreadable and pigmented, not to mention it can last all day on oily skin in a humid climate. will purchase this over and over again as it's now a must have in my makeup bag, plus the mini is a great handbag size, not that touchups are necessary.
