LOVE it. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent when properly applied Comment: Benefit High Beam can transform a world-weary face (take note all you working ladies!) into one that appears vibrant and alert. It can brighten the eyes and de-emphasize those under eye shadows while enhancing facial bone structure. Your success with it depends highly on skill of application. It must be judicious. I suggest several practice sessions before you take it out in public and to try it under different forms of light. High Beam is highly reflective and, if applied with a heavy hand or in the wrong places, can have disastrous results. On the other hand, when applied well, it is a miracle worker. Experiment with it over or under your makeup as the results are quite different. I've seen it perform amazing results "thinning" a broad nose by application of the thinnest possible line of it down the center. I've also seen it create pronounced cheek bones in a lady that wasn't blessed with them.
I would have given High Beam the full five stars but have a slight criticism of the bottle and applicator. Since this product may last you a year or more, it would be good to have a bottle and applicator that remain somewhat clear of product. Instead, the bottle neck and applicator can become easily gummed up. Also the length of the brush hairs are too long and can result in a sloppy application. I find it much better to take up some of the product from the brush onto my own smaller and shorter-haired brush. This way I am guaranteed a precise application. Customer Rating: Summary: High Beam is High Quality Comment: Not only is this a great highlighter for my cheekbones and eyebrows (note: best used on tweezed brows or else it draws attention to stray hairs.), but it also helps to disguise the awful undereye circles I tend to get.
I also use the product around the lines of my nose, it helps my nose look longer and thiner, as I have a short slight wide nose.
You have to play around a little to discover where and how much works for you but that's always something fun to do.
Customer Rating: Summary: ooops - not 20 anymore Comment: Benefit Cosmetics High BeamI used to use this product when I was younger (much younger) and liked it very much. It highlights any place you want to draw an eye to - cleavage, shoulders, brow, etc. Forgot that a couple of decades had passed and NO, I no longer want to draw anyones eyes to my cleavage anymore! I gave it to a 29 yr. old and she LOVES it, like I used to. Customer Rating: Summary: LOVE IT! Comment: Ran out of a Smashbox quad glide highlighter compact that I can't find anywhere and stumbled upon the reviews of Benefit's High Beam & Moon Glow. Couldn't make up my mind which one to get and had no idea that the nearby Macy's carried the line. I approached the Benefit counter there and tested both. High beam is both equally silvery and pinkish and blends well on my tanned & yellowish undertoned skin. I found the Moon beam to be almost like a light goldish bronzer with multi tones of pink streaks. It was the swirling pink shades that didn't work for me at all. I recommend High Beam. I sometimes used it alone on eyelids, under eyes / above cheek bone and down nose. It gives a fresh-face look. It's wonderful.
