This is the perfect touch if you’re looking for a quick lift in your look. Don’t let the nail-polish-esque packaging fool you: just a few drops of this luminescent pink liquid dabbed onto the cheek and brow bones is the makeup artist’s secret to a subtle but noticeably shimmering physique. I like this product because it gives you the confidence that goes a long with glowing skin without the feeling that you just smeared a pound of wax on your face. The more I use Benefit Cosmetics High Beam
, the more I find myself thinking of it as the potato of skin care products: you virtually cannot go wrong with it. Whether applying it as the finishing touch to a glamorous evening look or if it’s the only think you put on in the morning, the dewy complexion enhancer is always appropriate. The other thing I like about High Beam is its versatility: this product looks great both in the dead of winter when you’re pale as a ghost and after you’ve gotten some rays. A good highlighter is a quintessential ingredient to any makeup kit, and this is one of the best I’ve ever encountered.
