    I'll admit, this product is wayyyy expensive at $26 at Shoppers Drug Mart. Though, it does do a good job! High Beam is an luminzer/highlighter that is applied to the face where light would naturally it, i.e. cheek bones, brow bones, bridge of the nose, cupid's bow - and anywhere else that you think you need a little oomph.

    I like using this product during the winter when my skin usually looks a little blah. After applying this to my face (as well as the inner tear ducts of my eyes) I look fresh-faced and well-rested!

    Be sure to blend high beam in properly, otherwise you will look streaky and your "highlights" fake!

    I love love love this product! At first I was iffy about it because it was about $22 at Sephora but I gave in & bought it & I'm so glad I did. The first time I used it the nail polish brush was a little intimidating because I thought I would end up putting too much on but I only used a little bit & a little definitely goes a long way. I bought this about 6-7 months ago & have barely put a dent in it & I use it everyday it definitely lasts a long time. I use it to highlight my cheek bones, inner corners of my eyes, cupid's bow & under my eyebrows. It gives you face a subtle glow & it's great for waking up your face when you're tired. I highly recommend this!

    This is $24 at Sephora. It is SO pretty! I was kinda ifffy when I bought it, like "ohh whatever it's just a little face thing". But yeah...it's not. It;s AMAZING.

    So it comes in a nail polish - esque container. The bottle is really cute (like all benefit products). You take out the brush and take off a little product on the edge (like you would nail polish) and then put a dot or 2 on both cheek bones. Then you can use a blending wedge or your fingers to blend it in a "c" around your eye/to to your temple.

    Other places to apply: above or below arch in eyebrow, cleavage, angel's bow,
    High Beam makes your face illuminated. It is a pink shimmery liquid and it goes on and you can only see it in the light. If you use too much, it will make your face look oily. But that is easy to avoid.

    I looove this so much, it is definately in my top 5 products!

    It's a really nice pink undertone highlighter.

    Just dap it on the areas you wanna highlight then blend it in.

    It's not too dry or too creamy. perfect consistency.

    Perfect highlight and sheen, doesn't make you look like you have oily skin or like you're sweating.

    Don't quote me on the price, I bought Benefit Cosmetics "high beam" a while ago now....so can't remember exactly.
    This is my go to product when I feel I need a little pick me up, and/or instant glow. When I use it I always receive compliments on how healthy I look.

    Benefit has a few of these cheek stains out now, and I haven't tried them all, but what I can say about "high beam" is that on my fair skin, it gives me just the right sheen and glow, w/o sparkle and razzle dazzle. Apply it to your skin BEFORE foundation or powder, and after your moisturiser has settled in. Otherwise it won't blend in and will sit on top of your make up, creating a very un-natural appearance.
    Then you can put your foundation or powder over top of it and you get this gorgeous, soft natural glow from within type effect.

    High beam is a soft pinky pearl colour, comes in a short glass bottle with a small brush in the top of the bottle ( just like nail polish applicators ), and you just dab a small amount using the brush where you want to hi-light your face. I usually put it on the apple's of my cheeks, blend back, and put a little dab on the high points of my brow arch, and blend really well. It's a very easy product to work with and blends in extremely well. You get quite a lot of it in one bottle.....I have had mine for around 6 or 7 months now, and I can't see it running out for quite some time. I use it almost daily too.

    I think with the right application, anyone could use this product. But I stick to the idea of putting it on under all your other facial make up....other wise the effect is not a pretty one!

    Tip:...mix a few drops of "high beam" in with your moisturiser and blend into your complexion well for an all over glow. Again, be careful how much you use...you want to look glowing with health, not glowing from fever!!
