My Thoughts: I had this highlighter for months before I ever actually used it, and I mistakingly tried to use it as a concealer at first under my eyes. It wasn't such a big hit. However, I've loved using it lately as intended, to highlight areas of my face. I use it after my foundation and concealer, up along my cheekbones, the bow of my lip, down the center of my nose, forehead, and chin to bring some light. It's got a slightly pinkish tone to it without being too "pink". It doesn't have a shimmer, but it reflects light nicely.
I apply it straight from the wand to the areas I want and let it sit for about 30 seconds. Then I pat it over the skin with either my fingertips or a damp beauty sponge. I have pretty fair skin, but this is light enough without being too white.
The consistency is very creamy, and it doesn't dry and flake or crease at all. If you use it as a concealer though, it won't last. This works best when patted over the top of foundation or concealer, and lightly set with translucent powder. I wouldn't recommend it for skin types too much darker than mine, as it will look ashy.
Final Verdict: A great highlighting product without being shimmery that won't mess with the makeup underneath.
