I owned a miniature sized High Beam, as part of a palatte which I bought from USA sometime back. I always find Benefits' product names zany, fun and cheeky.
This liquid highlighter is one of my favourites. I do not use it on a daily basis, just on weekends or when I remember it.
I am no highlighter expert, in fact while I like the idea of using highlighter, I don't quite see the WOW effect on me generally, than how I see it on others.
However, using this liquid highlighter has been easy-peasy. Simply dot 3 dots on the high points of your cheekbones and on your brow bones and viola!, you looked radiant instantly.
Alternatively, you can also mix it in with your favourite moisturiser for an all over face glow.
I love how this highlighter imparts a subtle luminous glow to the skin with just a few dots on the cheekbones and brow bones. I don't use it as an all over face glow, in order to reduce the likelihood of bringing attention to my imperfect areas.
The colour is a lovely light pink with a pearly glow and there is no glitter involved, just some slight shimmers. The texture is concentrated and thick so don't overdose on it and note that you need to do the blending quickly because once it dries up, the end-result may look patchy and unnatural.
The bottle comes with a brush on the applicator but I usually use it to dab on my fingertips before applying it bit by bit to my face using my fingers.

While I really like the highlighter, I can't say it suits me well, because I have slight pigmentation on the cheeks and this product tends to highlight it which is perfectly logical since its a highlighter in its own right. And I cannot use it on the bridge of the nose since I have combination skin, and it may accentuate the oiliness.
So what I usually do, is to use it sparingly, slightly away from my pigmentation, on the high points of my cheeks as well as on the brow bones.
