If there is one thing I desire from a female celebrity's stash of makeup, it is the product that is the secret to her illuminated, glowing skin. Benefit’s Moon Beam is the closest we mere mortals will get to have that dewy skin without looking greasy or oily. Moon Beam is an iridescent highlighter that provides a soft shimmer to the skin. Although its colour is golden, when applied on the skin, it tends to have a pinkish pearl tone. It lasts for hours and does not dry out my skin.

The applicator comes with a small brush (similar to nail polish), but I would recommend blending with a wedge sponge, a foundation brush, or even one’s fingers. Because a little goes a long way, a small dot is enough to start with. The secret is to blend it out and smooth it well, or one will be left with a visible smear on the cheeks or forehead.

My only complaint is that the formula tends to be a bit on the thicker side, which is why blending is a necessity. Apart from that, its price is worth the small bottle, as it really provides that “finishing touch” for my make-up.
