Splurge- Benefit High Beam
High Beam is beautiful! The pink pearl tone is very flattering on fair skin. I apply this on the tops of my cheekbones and on the eye bone..Does not clump up or soak into the pores. Sits well on the skin, giving a luminous, glowing effect.Fantastic highlighter, great for under the brows, along the brow bone, around the eyes and cupids bow.
It's quite bright so a little goes a long way.It gives a nice dewy natural look. When the light hits it, it's amazing.And its very long lasting
Save- NYX Illuminator Born to Glow in shade SunBeam
The color of Nyx illuminator very closely replicate the shade of High Beam very closely. But since its a dupe, the color matches well ,but having a Pro of being a budget friendly highlighter it has its own Cons.
It's hard to apply and comes out kind of streaky but with a little practice.The shimmery particles showing up stronger than the actual pigment of the illuminator. A shimmer are not as finely milled as the high beam ,and are visible to bare eye.
The right amount of product used is extremely important as too much product can result in frosty cheeks rather than glow. A little product mixed in the foundation, is the best way to work with this highlighter in my opinion.It's definitely too sparkly on it's own, but when I mix a drop or two with my foundation, it gives me an actual glow instead of oily shine.On its own it last around 1-3 hours.
Verdict:Betwen this splurge and save I''l choose the splurge,as the glow it creates is worth it.
