Better for dark skin, can be layered.

I was surprised at how subtle this is. I have very pale skin and immediately felt this would be too dark for me, especially after swatching it. It seemed more like bronzer than a highlighter in this shade. I included two pictures, one without flash and one with flash, but even on the picture with the bright flash, you really can't see the product at all on my skin. Keeping in mind that this is one normal layer of the product in the areas recommended for highlighting (cheekbone, browbone, forehead, nose, chin centre and cupids bow.)

I think if I used it a bit heavier it would show up more, but it really doesn't come across as a highlighter for me. my problem with anything that shimmers is it just doesn't give a classic look, because it makes you look glittery rather than bright.

I was disappointed mainly with two other things when it came to this highlighter stick.

1. The size. The packaging is very misleading, but there's actually not that much product in there. If you use highlighter daily this might not last as long as you'd like.

2. Smell. Most cosmetics have either a non-smell or a pleasant smell, but this one smells pretty bad. It's not a pungent smell, but it certainly made me wrinkle my nose while applying.

Despite these flaws, this highlighter stick is not a bad product. I'm going to continue to use it as a shimmer stick and would recommend it as such. I also think it would make a very pretty highlighter on darker skin, due to the golden sheen. For light shades like mine, I'd stay away from this or use it solely as a shimmer stick.
