Underwhelmed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I will say, I have never met a highlighter that I appreciate, so read my review with that in mind. I do not find this to be a worthwhile product for me as I see very little difference unless over applied, in which case it takes on an unintended effect and becomes far more shimmer than highlight.

Lightshift cream highlighter
In Glint: I have fair skin.
having bought into the Ilia brand I ordered this without seeing it, and I have to say it is lovely. First application was concerning, I didnt feel I could see anything so swept the brush around the pan again and applied once more. I quickly realised it was catching the light in the most natural way and I actually only needed to move my face and not add more!! Subtle, natural and a genuine highlighter rather than shimmer patch!

The best highlighter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can’t tell you how much I love this product. I have it in multiple colors and switch it up depending on the day. This is creamy and smooth and gives the perfect amount of glow. It’s elevated without the typical “shimmer” most highlighters leave behind.

Pretty shimmer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually thought that this was a powder when I ordered it and I’m fine with it being a cream for my skin is dry so it does lay on my skin nicer than a powder the highlight is very subtle just gives you a nice healthy shimmer. I would definitely purchase this again.

Works great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've tried many highlighters before, and this has to be one of the best. Gives me a nice glow!
