Benefit High Beam

Casting my mind back over the past few years, I don't think I had ever been a user of highlighters until recently. You don't imagine how influential blogs and videos can be but after a lot of dabbling in both I realised I just had to get to grips with highlighting and make my skin look uber glowy (if that's even a word). Enter High Beam from Benefit which was actually the very first Benefit product in my make-up stash. I just have the small sample size bottle of High Beam which was a blog sale purchase (surprise surprise!) from a few months ago, but in all honesty this dainty bottle has lasted me well. I don't use this product on a daily basis but it has had its fair share of love since it arrived and still has about half the bottle left which is always good news.
L-R: Swatched and blended
As you can see from the pictures above, High Beam comes in what looks like a nail polish bottle and when opened also resembles the brush of a nail polish bottle. I like the idea of this brush as application is very simple and allows you to swish a sufficient amount on the areas needing that extra bit of sparkle, but make sure not to go a bit swipe happy as the brush can hold a fair amount of product. I find the liquid formula very easy to blend with my finger and soon enough you are left with a pretty pearl glow to the skin, perfect for accentuating cheekbones, the bridge of your nose or anywhere else that you feel deserves a bit more attention. High Beam is a liquid highligher with pink undertones and a pearly finish, and has been great for complimenting my pale skin with pink undertones. All in all I'm very happy with this highlighter and am glad that I picked it up a few months ago, although I don't think I could justify spending so much money on a full size bottle as it currently retails for £18.50 (ouch). Have you tried Benefit's High Beam?
