Gorgeous!

These are just the most beautiful highlighters! Very subtle and give a soft glow effect. I use it under the eye in an inverted triangle and up across the upper cheekbone and then gently blend in using a dry sponge. Also great for highlighting down the bridge of the nose etc.

Holy Grail of highlighters!
Date:April 10, 2013
Tags: Smudge resistant, Crease resistant, Highlighting, concealer, correcting, Convenient, Travel friendly
I've searched high and low for a highlight under the eye that served a dual purpose. This not only highlights the area but conceals and corrects. What more can you ask for?! I am beyond pleased. I don't even need to powder it once applied but just in case for a crease free long wear hold I'll powder it with a translucent powder. What's even more awesome is that you can reapply later that day without it creating a cakey layer like most concealers/highlights do. It's a creamy, bendable, conveniently packed pen that everyone should own! :)

Great for contouring!

I use a lighter concealer under my eyes in an inverted triangle and then layer radiant rose highlighter over the blended concealer. Works like a charm! I highly recommend it for that Kim K contouring look!

Highlighter pen on the go!
Date:March 21, 2013
Tags: Smudge resistant, Extends eye makeup wear, Crease resistant
When I first saw this I was interested. A highlighter in a pen is convenient!
So I bought this and used it for a few months. I liked that it was lightweight and blendable. I used it to prime my undereyes and just to hightlight certain areas on the face.

The down side, if you click twice, a lot will come out. There can be some product waste there. I also didn't think it brighten my undereyes. There are little speckles of iridescent, but it was not noticable after concealing them.
I rather use Vibrancy Eye Primer, or a highlighting powder to highlight parts of my face. A good one is, strobe cream.. or natural radiance primer.
Have fun :)

Perfect highlighter!

Love love love using this to highlight around my brows, under-eye area, apples of my cheeks, nose, and cupid's bow! I'm a NC30 during the winter and it blends well with the foundation. I'm sure it would work as well for anyone NC40 or so.

Ehhh...
Date:February 9, 2013
Nothing I saw special about it. I have olive skin and I bought light boost. I was hoping for a highlight, but it just blended into my skin. I wasn't hoping for a reverse raccoon effect or anything, but I wish I would've ask the MAC MUA for a demonstration on how to use. I would not recommend :(

These are FANTASTIC!! I love mixing them with prep n prime vibrancy eye and patting it under the eye with a 217 brush!! I also like to use it as a cheekbone highlight before applying my foundation. Light boost works very well to neutralize redness on blemishes. Just be sure to take the time to properly hydrate your skin before using.

Prep & Prime Highlighter
Date:October 11, 2012
Tags: Smudge resistant, eye sheen & sparkle, adds a nice sparkle sheen to eyelids
This product I would not recommend for those with dry skin and dark circles. I have dry, light skin with dark circles under my eyes. I hoped this might help. I tried it over moisturrizer and both over & under makeup, it did not smear during wear, yet it seemed to counter act with the moisture and makeup - making under eyes seem noticeably darker and dryer. Caused my under my eyes to crease, But on the lids it was great even with no eye shadow, loved that part.
However, it has a great sparkle! It was too hard to get the balace right for myself. I'm sure it will work well for others without my same problems.

This is by far the definitely best highlighter I have ever used on my face. It brightens where ever I need some highlighting. I also use it to help create a sharper contouring for my cheeks. I love, love, love this product!!! Everyone should definitely purchase this item. I got the yellow and pink toned highlighters. It goes great over makeup or under it. I use it over my makeup and there is no smudging, caking, or buildup using this product. I use it everyday. I hope they don't discontinue these items. omg..i would die...

Wondering, how long is this going to last as it took me seventy, yes 70 turns before the product came to the brush tip.
Hope it will do what promised.

Amazing as a concealer!!!!
Date:April 26, 2012
Tags: Smudge resistant, highlighting/ concealing
I bought this in "Light Boost" after watching the tutorial on the MAC website on contouring. I use it under the eyes and on the brow bone where I have some spots from stubborn hairs that I tweezed that left little scar marks. I let it sit for a bit before lightly patting into the skin with a flat foundation brush. Use a light hand when applying and be sure to be careful when turning the product to get it out...use a turn or two to get the product out since it can come out quite quickly! I love this as a highlighter/ concealer in the eye area...this really opens up the eye area.

BEST UNDER EYE COVERAGE
Date:April 10, 2012
Tags: Smudge resistant, Extends eye makeup wear, black circle coverage, brightens eyes
I probably have one of the worst dark eye circles ever plus I have deep set eyes which makes it look like I have two black eyes 24/7. This stuff covers my black circles and brightens my eyes. Also makes my shadow stay longer. After years of searching for a great concealer for my eyes, my search has stopped. I love it and cant live without it. Im on my 3rd tube in 1 1/2 years.....

not exactly for darker skin tones...
Date:March 28, 2012
I found this product dried to quickly to blend properly into my N40-45 DRY skin. It feels like trying to blend paint or something. You can make it work with a little more time and a bit of moisturizer but unless you're doing someone else's face, you may not want to go to the trouble. It looks alright once it is blended into my skin, but I find I have to lift away a little product first. Not very functional.

I am in love with this product! I use it on my eyelids and under my eyes, it's great! It works great to help cover dark circles and brighten under the eyes to make dark circles less visible. It also works as a eye primer.
