Rather, it's natural and sophisticated, my friend.
ConsI am a bright #21, but I don't use it much because it's darker than my skin tone. The powder also flies around a lot, so it keeps getting on the case..
TipThose with warm undertones or darker skin tones are likely to be extremely satisfied.

It is a bright apricot + ivory-toned highlighter. The formula is very smooth and there is definitely less pore-clogging. So I recommend this highlighter to those looking for a subtle, luminous glow. And the soft color payoff has good staying power, so I use it frequently.
ConsThe capacity is too large, so I wish they had sold a mini version separately. To be honest, if I don't use this every day, I really think I won't be able to use it all up until I die. And the powder scattering is severe, so the case gets dirty quickly. I don't know if it's just my case, but the Hwahae eyeshadow has a sturdy case, but the highlighter's opening and closing part is too flimsy.
TipI usually apply it with a fluffy powder brush for nose contouring. Since my fingers or the brush head are short, when I apply with a firm brush, the boundary between the base and highlighter is visible from the side or at a specific angle, but with this soft powder brush for nose contouring, I can gently dab it on to apply it seamlessly without any visible lines.

It creates a smooth, slightly glossy, and elegant image without emphasizing texture. I recommend having one as it is finely milled and has a large capacity, making it suitable for official events and formal occasions.
ConsThere is some powder scattering, and the price is not particularly affordable haha
TipAmong the products I have, the similar-feeling budget option is the Carly's Highlighter (Light Infusion). While it doesn't match the glow, the feel is similar. I recommend it for fair skin and cool undertones.

A luxurious feel! It's expensive but the quantity is enormous. The case is thicker and larger than expected, which is surprising.
ConsThe powder fallout is extremely severe... I've never seen anything this bad before, even when using the tiny highlighter brush from RealTechniques. After using the Clio one, I'm really taken aback by how much powder is flying around with this one. It's so excessively powdery that it feels like an animal-sized amount.

It can be applied anywhere on the face without issue and is suitable for application on the apples of the cheeks.
ConsThe product doesn't have any major flaws, but it's too expensive. Additionally, separate tools are required to use it.
TipAs a beginner's highlighter, it is recommended.

ConsThe larger the capacity, the more expensive it tends to be, and the volume is also very large, taking up too much space in the pouch.

A calm highlighter. I was worried it would be too shiny, but I'm very satisfied.
ConsThe price is high and the size is large. It would be nice if they offered a smaller version as well.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsIt seems like I've been using it for years (the powder doesn't die~). I hesitated because the price is too evil, but the amount is really huge. It's more of a subtle, high-end vibe that elevates the overall makeup mood, rather than a flashy feel. I think it would work for both warm and cool tones, but if you're an extremely pale cool-toned person, it might not be the best match. (I'm a bit yellowy, dull cool-toned.)
ConsPlease sell smaller sizes too :( I don't use the highlighter that much, and it's hard to carry around 0_0 And if you like flashy, I don't recommend it. I'll use it daily for a subtle, high-end look, highly recommended.
TipThe product has fine particles and is not burdensome, so I apply it to the inner corners of my eyes, under-eye area, cheekbones, nose bridge, and Cupid's bow, and it's the best. My eyes are a bit far apart from the overall face ratio, but when I apply it to the inner corners, it looks so pretty.

The amount is too much. My skin is on the darker side, and I would only recommend this to those who are pursuing an extremely natural look.
ConsIt's too dark for me, so I can't use it as a highlighter. It's not only dark, but there's also almost no reflective glow. I bought this back when highlighters weren't as diverse as they are now, and the options were limited. But these days, there are better, more diverse, and more affordable highlighters available, so I probably won't be purchasing this one.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros๐The life highlighter is natural and luxurious - the best The Laura Mercier shimmer highlighter is undoubtedly the best among the highlighters I've tried. You can create different moods when applied and blended, and it's the highlighter with the least visible texture among the ones I've used, so it's great when applied on the cheeks ๐ If you're looking for a highlighter with invisible pearl particles and a luxurious finish, I highly recommend this product. It's a bit pricey, but the amount is generous, so I think it's quite worth the purchase.
ConsWhile there is some powder fallout due to the finely-milled texture, this is an inevitable part and can be tolerated by those who don't mind it. In fact, the slight powder fallout was beneficial for me as the highlighter applied well on the brush (unlike some products like Sephora or Dior where the highlighter doesn't pick up well on the brush, making it less convenient to use).
TipI'd recommend using a different highlighter on the nose tip or the sides of the eyes. For the forehead, the 'C' zone, and such areas, I'd suggest using this highlighter.
