Amazing! But a little pricey
This product give the most gorgeous glow to the high points of your face, yet still looks natural. Unlike other highlighters, it isn't shimmery or glittery. It has a little brush like nail polish which you can use to apply directly onto your skin. I find that blending out with a brush works much better than using your fingers as that can turn out a little streaky. I got this product in a gift set and now I'm hooked, unfortunately I'm not sure a can justify buying the full sized product due to the cost. However, having said that, a little bit goes a long way. For now I mainly save it for going out at night or special occasions

Amazing
Love this stuff!
So easy to use, with make up or on bare skin, the packing is cute and appealing to the eye.
Compact enough to carry around in makeup bag, stays on all day.
I have found it easier to use by putting a small blob in your hand first and adding but by bit to face.
Have converted my sister in law and her friends all to high beam!

The Highlighter's Luminescent Glow Captured On Skin Is Gorgeous
Benefit High Beam Luminescent Complexion Enhancer 13ml comes boxed with an instruction leaflet.
High Beam comes in a clear round glass bottle with a plastic screw on applicator brush lid. The bottle and brush is similar to nail polish.
High Beam is used on cheeks and brow bones to boast a healthy glow.
The satin highlighter is perfect on all skin tones.
It can be applied over makeup, bb cream or worn solo.
To apply High Beam, dot with the brush onto cheeks and blend with finger tips. You don't have to use much at all and it does not take long to dry.
It is pale pinky beige in colour, the consistency is thick and gluggy.
It blends onto skin well leaving behind a lovely silky luminescent film.
A gorgeous, almost pearlescent, luminescent glow captured on cheeks reflects off light to highlight areas on skin.
It reminds me a little of Edwards skin in Twilight.
It's feminine and pretty, it gives a nice finish highlighting cheeks.
The highlighter feels lightweight and comfortable on skin. It's long wearing and lets skin breath.
I love using High Beam, it is super easy to use and only a little is needed for me to achieve a luminescent and silky tinge to cheeks. It's not strong in colour but the sexy glow on skin is a knock out, especially with light reflection.
The Luminescent Complexion Enhancer is a nice change from wearing bronzer or blush.
High Beam is easily removed with a makeup wipe.
I received Benefit High Beam Luminescent Complexion Enhancer as part of the massive BH, BIB prize pack. Thank you Beauty Heaven.
6 month use by after opening tag.
Made in France

Pretty illuminator
Benefit's High Beam is a gorgeous shimmery pearlescent pinky-champagne illuminator that's housed in a cute nail polish style bottle and applicator. The product is compact making it perfect for the handbag/travel and on-the-go touch ups during the day. The packaging is also clever, making it easy to use and apply.
To use, I simply dab this onto areas which I wish to highlight such as the higher panes of my cheeks, pat and blend it using my fingertips. It instantly brightens and brings an illuminating glow to my skin. Simply gorgeous!
I think this a great must have product, especially during the Summertime when we all want glowing, healthy radiant skin. It's a versatile product in that it can also be mixed in with foundation to give an overall glowing finish.

Shiny fun!
I have a little pocket sized High Beam and it has lasted for ages - it provides just the right amount of shiny without leaving streaks. It blends well with foundation to give a good glow to the cheekbones, but I also like to dot it here and there to finish a look - in the inner corner of the eyes for example. Definitely use a small amount at first though, too much and you could look like an alien! :)

Pretty highlighter!
Pretty, pearlescent, luminous, pale-pink/silvery liquid highlighter ! A family friend gave me a miniature sample bottle of this to try, and even on my hand its beautiful, flawless finish is apparent! I think it would compliment most complexions if applied to the correct places and using the appropriate techniques- either for spot application along the cheek bones, down the bridge of the nose, on the cupid bow above the lips and a hint on the brow bones and chin.... wherever you'd want the light to naturally "kiss" your face, or either mixed in with or applied underneath foundation for an all-round, healthy and radiant complexion! I personally love to add liquid highlighters such as this or MAC strobe liquid to my Revlon Colorstay foundation to help sheer down the formula, making it easier to apply and blend, and to achieve a more natural, dewy effect that feels lighter on the skin!

Glimmery and gorgeous!
I received a bottle in my BIB prize pack - believe it or not, I initially figured I didn't really have a use for it and was going to gift it away, but for some reason I decided to try it instead.
I'm so glad I did! What a gorgeous product! You can dot this pearlescent fluid on the cheeks and brow bone for a gentle, healthy glow, or you can blend on a heavier amount if you prefer more oomph. I personally like a light touch - it adds a natural healthy glow.
I found the nail polish style application very easy to work with. No real scent I could notice, and the product felt light on my cheeks without a hint of oiliness or dryness.
A very nice addition to my makeup kit :)

I really like this highlighter. I received it in a promo size but now I definitely want the full size! I love a sweep of it on the cheekbones and brow bone with nothing else than loads of mascara and a matte pink blush. Beautiful!

Gorgeous glow!
This adds such a gorgeous glow to the high points of your face. A little goes a very long way. I love the packaging for its ease of use and its very easy to apply with the brush it comes with. I find that applying it from the back of your hand with a small brush is better than applying it straight from the brush as it can be splotchy. its not the easiest to blend so make sure you don't go overboard.

Best in Beauty 2012 - Cult favourite for good reason
With this product, Benefit have done the impossible, and have bottled light! And what a wonderful thing that is!
The bottle and brush applicator remind me a little of a nail polish bottle and applicator, but lend themselves perfectly for simple and accurate application of the product.
To use, use the brush applicator to dab the pink champagne-hued liquid to the parts of your face that would normally catch the light - I highlight the top of my cheekbones and browbone, and the cupid's bow of the lip. Then blend this with your fingers to achieve a naturally glowing look.
I find that it gives me a fresh, vibrant look, no matter how I might really be feeling! What I really love though is that it blends into your skin to look as though the glow is coming from your own skin rather than a product. This is what raises it above all other highlighters for me.
I also like to add a little to my foundation when going out at night, and find it gives a great glow without being over the top.
Long lasting, a little goes a long way, making it fantastic value. If I ever get through this bottle, I will definitely be repurchasing!

It's PhotoShop in a bottle! - Best in Beauty 2012
Benefit's High Beam is cult-status favourite of celebrities, models and commoners alike. After seeing this rather pricey product regularly featured in make-up artist's kits, magazines, beauty blogs and in Megan Fox's handbag (apparently), I decided to get my grubby little mitts on this shiny, shiny bottle.
Firstly, the highlighter itself comes in the classic Benefit packaging - a glass bottle, screw on lid and little brush.
High Beam is a luminous liquid champagne-pink highlighter, awash with glimmering silver pearl. The shimmer is so fine that on application, the separate particles are not visible, but it leaves the skin illuminated for glowing but natural look. The texture of highlighter is milky and so blendable that you'll fool everyone into thinking that your dewy complexion really is au naturale. It's also great for sallow, dull or dry skin, because the finish leaves your skin with a healthy, moisturised sheen.
My favourite aspect of the product is the amazing versatility. I'll use this mixed with my foundation or tinted moisturiser or with body lotion for an all-over-glow. The fine brush helps to distribute precise, small amounts onto the brow bone, cupid's bow and down the bridge of the nose for a brightened finish. I also use along the collarbone when going out which helps define the bone structure and decolletage. The ultimate technique for me would be highlighting the top of the cheekbones, after applying blush and contouring underneath with a matte bronzer. The result: high, catwalk supermodel cheekbones that is guaranteed to send the whole clan of Victoria's Secret models into a fit of jealousy. Yes..really! :P
I absolutely adore Benefit's High Beam, it's a premium quality, natural looking highlighter with an incredible, glowing finish - well worth the premium pricing. It's my go-to highlighter day or night, rain, hail or shine. This product is like Photoshop in a bottle, except it never shuts down or freezes. Try it, you won't be disappointed!

Best in Beauty.. :)
Benefit High Beam is a liquid highlighter, you can apply where ever you want really! It brightens up the area that you apply it to. Just like a powder or cream highlighter I apply it where the sun would naturally hit on my face, like on the bridge of my nose, above my cheeks and on the Cupid's bow to give the effect of fuller lips.
High Beam is described as a satiny pink highlighter and I think that's an accurate description. It's a beautiful light pink color that would suit many different skin tones especially lighter skin tones.
One of the things I love about this product is it's not overly shimmery, so you don't need to worry about looking like a disco ball and it won't accentuate pores. It's also one of the easiest highlighters to blend out. Don't be fooled by the small bottle because this stuff lasts a long time since a little bit goes a long way.
Benefit High Beam comes in a cute packaging. It resembles a nail polish bottle and it makes it super easy and convenient to apply, it's also very travel friendly.
I dab a few dots on the areas I want to highlight and I blend it out with my finger, if you don't like using your fingers you could use a fluffy brush like the Mac 224 to blend it out.
This product is perfect for combination and acne prone skin like mine because it doesn't cause breakouts or anything.
Overall I really like the dewy finish it gives my skin without looking very shiny like some other highlighters. If your looking for a highlighter that's easy to apply and blend and you don't want to worry about it wearing off throughout the day I would recommend trying out Benefit High Beam.

Such a pretty highlighter
I love this highlighter from benefit, a small amount goes such a long way and it works alone or mixed into foundation to give my skin a radiant looking glow. This shade is a very blendable pink tone that melts right into the skin flawlessly. It's my must have for when I'm trying to pretend I've had a lot of sleep!

Best in Beauty 2012 - Liquid, luminescent brilliance
Benefit high beam has been one of my favourite highlighters for a very long time now. The first thing that caught my eye was its unique nail polish style packaging. It comes with a nail polish wand applicator which can be used to apply the product in a number of different ways. It gives you the option of applying small, precise dots of the product directly to the face, or you can apply some product to the back of your hand, or directly onto a brush to apply the product. I tend to apply the product from the wand to the back of my clean hand in order to keep the product as clean as possible.
High beam is a liquid luminescent complexion enhancer. It is pink-tone based which gives off a lovely pink, silvery glow. What sets this highlighter apart from others for me is the fact that it gives the skin a lovely sheen without being sparkly. This is great as it adds lovely dimension to the cheek area when applied. High beam is great in flash photography as it really makes a lovely difference to the skin. Because the highlighter is not shimmery, it is versatile for both day and night and really makes a difference to your overall look.
In terms of where I apply high beam to the face, I usually use it on three areas: my cheek bones, brow bone, and my lip area. To do this, I apply the liquid highlighter in a C-shape formation starting from outside the top of my cheekbone and bringing it up around the eyebrow and brow bone area. Mimicking where light would naturally hit helps to create a natural look. Using the highlighter in this way makes my cheekbones stand out and gives extra dimension to my eye area. I also use a very small amount of the highlighter on top of my cupids bow to create the appearance of a fuller pout.
Benefit high beam can be used underneath foundation to provide a very subtle healthy sheen to the face, or it can be used on top of foundation which is what I usually do. A little tip is that since high beam is a liquid highlighter, it is going to have the best effect when used on top of a liquid base. Only a very, very small amount of product is needed to be used so I would definitely start out with a small amount, and build up if you want more of a noticeable look. Using excess product can leave the skin looking too-shiny. Another great thing about high beam is that it is very long-lasting, it doesn’t smear off the skin throughout long days and nights which is great. While it is $45 which might seem a little exxy, the bottle contains 13ml of product which lasts for such a long time so you will not need to repurchase any time soon. Overall it is a trusted highlighter that I will always keep coming back to.

Do not be afraid!
this little illuminator very quickly became my best friend. I went from being afraid of liquid illuminators to not being able to spend a day with out it. It lasts all day, and keeps me looking healthy (even on the days when im not). best thing to use when disguising a big night out the morning after (paired with a whole lot of concealer under the eyes of course). A definite must have and well worth the price. I don't think i will ever run out!

Best in Beauty 2012- Best Illuminator Nomination
“Supermodel in a bottle”
This is my favourite liquid highlighter. I love the dewy look this product gives my skin. It is also very versatile; I can mix it in with my foundation, use it to highlight my brow bone, or use it as an eyeshadow.
I apply by dabbing little dots on the highest parts of my cheek, a small bit on the bridge of my nose and a small dot on my chin and blend it gently with my finger.
This product is a beautiful pearlescent/iridescent highlighter rather than glittery or shimmery so It looks soft and subtle when applied and blended out. I wear this to work regularly and I feel that it is subtle enough to give me that “healthy glow” without looking like a glitterbomb.
The product size is very generous considering how little you need for each application. I’ve used this for around 11 months and I don’t think I’ve used even 1/4 of it!!.
The packaging is cute with a nail polish like applicator that makes applying this product super easy.

Best in Beauty 2012 - a beaming beauty!
I have had my full size bottle of High Beam for well over a year now and it is my go to highlighter. I use it most days and enjoys the lovely pearlescent sheen it provides my skin - a lovely fresh radiance which is what all beauties strive for.
Although the design of the bottle with the brush has been criticised by some because it is not so handy to carry with you, I must say that I adore the design. I find it functional and, having the brush to apply the product is ideal for me. I like to dab a few strokes on my cheekbones, under my eyebrows and I feel like I a new woman.
The colour goes well with my light skin tone and I find that it matches with most of my blushes and so this is one of the reasons it is the illuminator I reach for more than others in my stash.
Having read other reviews on this site I believe that I can utilise it in more ways than I have - it is a truly versatile product. One of Benefit's best items in my view.

Madly in love
I was quite dubious about this product at first as I thought that it might give me a glittery thick pink colored coat on my skin. It actually works wonders with enhancinng certain areas of your face. I apply it a bit heavier under my eyebrows but lighter on my cheeks bones . it is the best illuminate that I have used and a little goes a long way. The amount of shimmer is perfect for a summer kissed look. I highly recommend this product to all makeup lovers.

Pretty highlighter perfect for getting glowing, dewy cheekbones. Draws attention to the places you want to get attention. Easy to apply and easy to blend out. Lovely universal colour to suit most skin tones and ethnicities. Subtle shimmer but not too shimmery that you look like a disco ball.

Enhancing The Benefits!
This is the one and only highlighter I use and own because throughout the 2 years I've used this, I have never found another need to try out other highlighters. This product may be pricey, but does it all, from highlighting, to adding the final touch to any makeup look.
Call me stupid, but when I was first introduced to this product 2 years ago, I literally thought it was just an extremely expensive bottle of nail polish. The packaging is the same as a nail polish, with a clear glass bottle, simple black font, and a lid with the brush attached to it. Something I want to point out is that always store this upright because I have in the past, just put it in my makeup bag, and a lot of the highlighter got stuck, and dried on the rim. A total waste of product, considering you only get 13ml! Whilst 13ml is really not a lot of product, the highlighter only require about 3 dots per cheek, to give it a healthy, flush of shimmer.
This is a liquid highlighter, that is quite thick. It is unscented, pearly pink with subtle silver shimmer. Unlike other highlighters, this gives the most natural glow and doesn't go over board with the shimmer. Instead it makes my skin look very plump, even without the help of foundations and sleep.
Compared to moon beam, a similar highlighter but with golden, warmer tones, this is definitely more versatile as it suits a variety of skin tones. I am a little bit addicted to this product so i tend to dot this under my brows, along my nose bridge, cupids bow and of course my cheeks. Since you have to use a brush to apply, I can easily control the amount of highlighter i use, or I apply to the back of my hands and then dot it onto my face. Another great method is simply mixing it with my foundation which gives a dewy, luminous finish.
I am not going to lie when I say this is one expensive highlighter, but it is worth every single cent. After buying this, I have never looked elsewhere for something else, because it not only highlights, but accentuates all your features without looking over the top, instead giving a natural glow.

Definitely one of the Best in Beauty!
This product is amazing! I use it as a highlighter and illuminator in order to brighten my features and get a nice, radiant glow.
It fits in so perfectly with my skin and works beautifully to make my skin look radiant, healthy and fresh! It makes my cheekbones look a lot more prominent, which is definitely a big positive considering my cheekbones are generally not prominent at all. It's a very smooth, consistent formula that is easy to apply. It doesn't look fake or obvious and the effects of the product last for hours and hours.
I'm generally not one to splurge on products that aren't good, but I've brought this product time and time again just because it's so fabulous! Thank you Benefit, for making the perfect illuminator! :)

supermodel in a bottle
Use on cheekbones and you look pretty and radiant with little fuss as it is very easy to use. However, avoid if you have very uneven skin tone because shimmer will likely fall into pores.

Best In Beauty 2012 - Glow on the Go
I have to say that I tend to avoid illuminators. To me they are a bit of a mysterious product that are best left to the experts. I think it's because I have vague fears of looking like a character from Twilight in the broad light of day - a little bit too shimmery for the supermarket and school pick up. But illuminators do intrigue me and since I do own Benefit's High Beam (it's been in my cupboard gathering dust for longer than I can remember) I felt that it was high time that I tried it out. But I must confess to getting some tips from Beauty Heaven and Google first.
For some reason I was under the impression that illuminators are really for the twenty-something beauties and that on older skin, this would just end up highlighting every imperfection and wrinkle instead. How wrong could I be. It was impossible to find any article anywhere dissuading older beauties from using illuminators - in fact, most suggested that illuminators would give me a youthful radiance and some claimed I would look up to ten years younger. Yay!
Most sites suggested either applying prior to putting on foundation for a subtle look while others preferred dabbing it on over the top for more of a glow. Some even suggested mixing it with foundation and applying it all over the face but again Twilight came to mind so I decided to go with the middle option.
So after doing my research and applying my skincare and foundation I finally opened the bottle of Highbeam. Unlike Girl Meets Pearl (the other underutilised illuminator in my collection) that involves a wind-up system whereby the product squeezes through little holes in the top, High Beam has a really simple brush built into the lid set up. You dip it into the product bottle and then lightly brush or dab it on. The illuminator itself is an unscented light pearlescent pink liquid. It goes on a little wet but quickly dries to a soft sort of lustrous powdery finish. It is also non-irritating which was a relief since I have somewhat sensitive skin.
Now the other factor that befuddled me a bit about illuminators is where to put it. Without doubt, the apple of the cheek is the most commonly applied area but a little on the forehead is also another option. I think it might be a question of how adventurous you are feeling on the day - a dab on the chin, the temples, décolletage may also be ok if it happens to look good on you. The beauty of illuminators are that if you don't like the look you've created, it's easy to remove and to reapply.
I chose just to apply to my cheeks for a more subtle look. The best way to make sure the High Beam is in the right place is to smile and apply on just the very top of the cheekbone. I just dabbed about five times per cheek and then blended with my fingertip moving upwards rather than downwards to avoid a china doll look and voila! All done! It really is not hard to do at all!
The finished look was that my skin had a subtle, velvety sort of sheen. It does give the skin a youthful, radiant look - a healthy glow that you usually would only get after an hour in the gym. It's understated enough to wear during the day but could also become a glam night look by using a little more product. All in all, High Beam is a really lovely way to finish off your look - great for all ages, skin types and levels of expertise and it can be applied in seconds for a real glow on the go.

Great highlighter
High Beam has got to be one of my favourite highlighters. I love the dewy glow it gives my face. It's really simple and easy to use even for dummies like me. The packaging is cute, although probably not the most hygienic: I'm not usually a fan of anything that touches your skin then goes back into the bottle, but it's ok since I put it on the back of my hand and dab from there.. It's too good of a highlighter to pass up because of a packaging dispute. The gorgeous glow lasts on my face all day and looks lovely and natural. Pop it on your cheekbones, inner corners of the eyes, and nose bridge and blend well for a sexy glow!

Glosscars Best in Beauty 2012 - Turn on your High Beams!
Illuminator is one of the main makeup items that I use everyday, and even if I'm not wearing a base such as foundation or BB cream I'll apply it. It just gives my skin that perfect little pick me up and it's great for faking that "just been on holiday glow". Benefit's High Beam is something I have used time and time again it ticks all the right boxes for me when it comes to illuminator.
I adore Benefit's packaging. The design is simple; a glass bottle with a brush attached to the lid, reminiscent of a nail polish bottle, just like Benefit's range of tints. This might be a little odd for some but it makes it super easy to throw in a purse should you require it later on for a work to evening transformation, and the bottle itself just looks too cute!
High Beam has a lovely, natural looking tone to it which for me is something important. Don't get me wrong, I love illuminators that have that blue or purple runway tone to them but they're not really all that fantastic for day time. High beam however has a gorgeous, light natural pink undertone to it which is flattering to just about every skin tone. The pretty luminescent glow I receive from High Beam lasts around 7-8 hours before slowly starting to disappear.
Benefit's High Beam is super simple to use; all you need to do is dot it across the areas of your face you wish to highlight with the nifty little brush under the lid and blend with your fingers. I generally put a few dots on the top of my cheekbones, on my brow bones, and on my cupids bow. No matter where you decide to use it, blending well is the key.
Overall, High Beam is amazing. It's magic in a bottle. When I first purchased it, I wasn't sure it would live up to the hype, but the hype was totally spot on! The small bottle? Very deceiving. One of these beauties lasts me a year with near everyday use! If you're looking for something to amp up your typical look and give you a gorgeous glow without having to spend a ton of time, you should definitely check out High Beam.

Beam me up, Benefit!
I tried a small sample of this awhile ago (and again more recently) and I was really impressed with the texture and how effective it was in brightening up my eyes and giving me a bit of highlight when I used it around my cheekbones.
I would liken this to the Estee Lauder Perfectionist which I apply to my whole face or even slightly similar to YSL touche eclat but I use this when I want to target specific locations like the inner corners of my eyes. It brightens them up and gives me a "wide awake" look.
You only need a little bit at a time and I use a small concealer brush for more precise application (because I only have a small sample bottle). I had a look at the full size and it already comes with a "brush" applicator.

Beaming Beauty
This liquid highlighter by Benefit is a godsend for dull skin. It's pinky pearlescent colour is perfect for cooler skin tones like mine and really can be used in a myriad of ways.
The packaging design is simple yet attractive, like most Benefit products. The lid screws off and you use this to hold onto the inbuilt brush applicator. You can either apply to the back of your hand or directly to your face, perhaps depending on the type of application you're after.
I can confess to now being a High Beam Addict and happily use it year round, with or without other cosmetics, on the tops of my cheek bones, along the bridge of my nose and to highlight my cupid's bow.

Great splash of shimmer
After hearing all my friends rave about this product, I gave in to temptation and purchased it myself. I am glad that I did because it gives you the most beautiful glow.
It is easy to apply although after a while it gets quite thick and the brush doesn't feel like the best applicator so I think that the packaging could definitely be improved in order to ensure that you get most out of this little beauty.
I love how this product gives me just the right amount of shimmer. Although, if you are not a fan of shimmer and are looking for a more matte product then I would give this one a miss.
This is such a versatile product and a little goes a long way so you don't need to apply too much in order to get a beautiful result. Having said that, I still feel that it is expensive but at least I feel that I get some of my money's worth.
This product blends easily into the skin and lasts all day without rubbing off. If it wasn't so expensive, I would probably buy it more often.

Nice highlighter
This is a nice liquid highlighter that looks great blended into cheekbones. It is a light pink shimmer, so adds a nice glow to cheekbones. The packaging could be better, maybe bottle with a pump so it's more hygienic and easier to use.

Took me a few tries, but now I see the appeal!
I've accumulated god knows how many tiny samples of Benefit High Beam with various Benefit value/gift sets, and I never really saw the appeal of it. I tried dotting it along my cheekbones and blending it in with my fingers, and although it was pretty it wasn't mindblowing.
Then one day I decided to dab the product on the back of my hand and use a duofibre brush with it, and my opinion of High Beam changed completely. I lightly swipe the side of my duofibre brush back and forth across the product dabbed on the back of my hand, and then use the same motion to apply it to my cheeks - almost like I'm literally sweeping the colour on. The effect is BEAUTIFUL, so glowy and natural looking compared to when I was dabbing and blending it with my fingers!
Now I've gone and bought a full size, and am using it every other day. I also like using it under a coordinating icy pink powder highlighter, for super glowy cheeks. :D

Great highlighter!
I got it in December last year and since then I have been using that every day! I love the way it perfects my skins and gives my complexion the prettiest glow ever. Although my skin is combination to oily, it cooperates with the High Beam really well. I apply it at the end of my make up routine to accentuate the cheek bones and sometimes I put it in the inner corners of my eyes, to give my look that extra sparkle. I tend to put a few dots on the back of my hand, then I use the foundation brush to grab the product and apply that to the cheeks. I find this way to be the most flattering for me. The foundation brush with the traces of foundation blends the product well into my skin.

Luxury Illuminator
I find this product a real luxury treat! I dot it easily with it's brush along my cheekbones and quickly blend with my fingers to give a perfect highlighting sheen just where I want it.
The packaging is not unsimilar to a nail polish product. The brush simply comes out on a stick when the lid is unscrewed. It makes it kind of special to apply it with this package design - and easy to apply specifically and professionally exactly where I want it to go.
The colour is a extreme pale pink which blends to a lovely neutral shimmer. Besides using this on my upper cheekbones I have also applied a tiny dot and blended it in the 'arch' area of my eyebrow to give my eyes lift. It looks great there too!

highlighter
The texture of this product is rich, creamy and has the ultimate soft shimmer.
The application is like a nail polish and a small problem is that too much is on the brush so you have to brush some on the sides before applying to the skin.
It applies on wet and I find tapping it in gently to my skin and then slowly building up colour gets the best results.
I like to use this in the inner corner of my eyes and under my eye brows on the outer edge.
I find that way it brightens my whole eyes and helps make them look bright and wide.
I am very thankful I found this product and that it is sure to last a very long time.

for a truly gorgeous glow
gives a really lovely pearly highlight colour with satisfying colour pay off. I can't live without a highlighter and this, as it is a liquid, is extremely easy to use. However, I worried a little about contamination and hygiene when I initially used the inbuilt brush (on the back of my hand for application). I guess I'm over it now

Interesting, but not necessary
I have the small size of this that I think was included in the "realness of concealness" kit. Annnd, it's ok. Nice liquid formula, blends out easily, puts a bit of sizzle onto cheekbones, cupid's bow, browbone, etc. But...there's eight bajillion other products that do the same thing, and I just don't find myself reaching for it. I think that way back when this product reached cult status, there was nothing else like it, but sadly it's just no longer that unique. I feel like a meanie for knocking it....I should make it clear that there's nothing wrong with the product itself, it's just a bit meh.

Beautiful highlighter
I love this little bottle of magic. The gorgeous fairy floss shade of pink, like candy. The petite soft bristled applicator brush, that is thin and makes for a very precise application. The product itself is a very runny liquid, a bit thinner than nail polish, but not too runny that it drips everywhere making a mess. To use this, I just apply a few well placed brush strokes under my brow, my eye contour area and down onto my cheekbones. It just gives a gorgeous ethereal, highlight. You do not need to use a lot of this product as I think you could easily overdo the glow, so I'd just apply sparingly, slowly and just build up as you go until you achieve the look you're after. The product is very easy to blend and blends excellently into the skin, so it doesn't leave any streaking or lines. I love it....it just gives my face a massive wake-up, like a shot of pure healthy glow.

Innocent Glow
High Beam by Benefit is a great product to give yourself a healthy glow or highlighter. I use this mainly on my cheeks to brighten my look but keeping it natural and without fail it always works. I use 3 tiny dots on each cheek and lightly rub in and instantly look fresher. The brush looks like a nail polish brush and is easy to apply the pinky toned product. Whether you are looking for a natural look or a full makeup look this High Beam will always work to polish off your look. This product (using 4-5 times a week) can last over 6 months! Because you only need a little bit for big results.

i found this product to be a little bit too expensive so i get mine shipped from overseas. I find high beam to be a little strange when not using foundation so i dont reccomend it for any people who dont wear foundation. On top our foundation this product works very well, i apply it to my nose, brow and cheek bones and a little on my top lip to hightlight.

Love this product sooo much, it meets my expectations and does what it claims.
It blends well onto my skin, looking luminous but not greasy, and looks good together with a blush.
Only gripe is the price, but it does last me a long time (about a year and i am only halfway down), and it is it very long lasting, i find it to fade after the 4-5 hour mark, but i bring it around with me since it is very compactible.

Lives up to its cult status
With this product, Benefit have done the impossible, and have bottled light! And what a wonderful thing that is!
To use, dab the pink champagne-hued liquid to the parts of your face that would normally catch the light - I highlight the top of my cheekbones and browbone - using the brush applicator housed in the lid. Then blend this with your fingers to achieve a naturally glowing look.
I find that it gives me a fresh, vibrant look, no matter how I might really be feeling! What I really love though is that it blends into your skin to look as though the glow is coming from your own skin rather than a product. This is what raises it above all other highlighters for me.
I also like to add a little to my foundation when going out at night, and find it gives a great glow without being over the top.
Long lasting, a little goes a long way, making it great value.

The perfect hollywood glow - High beam
High Beam is an liquid high lighter which is a satiny pink color that creates a young, radiant, fresh complexion on all skin tones
The packaging is extremely cute and the liquid highlighter comes in a bottle which has a built in brush on the lid which makes highlighting easy breezy.
The texture of high beam is extremely silky and makes blending in the product to the face extremely mess free and easy.
The longevity of the product is extremely long lasting. I normally wear high beam to clubbing or parties where photography occurs and I would say that high beam would last the whole night!
The application is extremely easy! Just apply high beam with the brush included and highlight your brows, nose bridge, tear ducts and also upper lip area for a all over even glow and blend blend blend for the most natural coverage!
High beam has been my holy grail liquid highlighter ever since I have discovered it years ago! I cannot take photos or even go out without applying this baby!

Glosscar Best in Beauty Award Review
Benefit high beam is my favorite illuminator and one of the very first highlighter I bought. After trying that I was really very impressed. It is basically a pink tone shimmery liquid, and it gives a very nice natural glow to my fair skin. I apply this to my cheek bones and to my eyebrow as a highlighter. The applicator brush is really good, easy to use and it picks up only small amount of the product at one time. I usually apply two or three dots on the top of my concealer and foundation and blend with my fingers until is evenly applied all over my cheeks. The high beam brightens my face and last all day. It leaves my skin very light and smooth. Since I have dry skin this liquid highlighter keeps my skin moisturized. The consistency of the product is thick, and the little amount of the product goes a long way. At times, I mix the few drops of the high lighter to my foundation to get a unique glow to my face. The key is the applying the product that gives the face perfect contouring and the sheen. It is a little pricey product, but worth the price. This makes me radiant and very pretty. I can say I am happy with my purchase. I would recommend this to all.

Glosscars Best in Beauty 2011 - Dream of High Beam!
Benefit's High Beam is cult-status favourite of celebrities, models and commoners alike. After seeing this rather pricey product regularly featured in make-up artist's kits, magazines, beauty blogs and in Megan Fox's handbag (apparently), I decided to get my grubby little mitts on this shiny, shiny bottle.
Firstly, the highlighter itself comes in the classic Benefit packaging - a glass bottle, screw on lid and little brush.
High Beam is a luminous liquid champagne-pink highlighter, awash with glimmering silver pearl. The shimmer is so fine that on application, the separate particles are not visible, but it leaves the skin illuminated for glowing but natural look. The texture of highlighter is milky and so blendable that you'll fool everyone into thinking that your dewy complexion really is au naturale. It's also great for sallow, dull or dry skin, because the finish leaves your skin with a healthy, moisturised sheen.
My favourite aspect of the product is the amazing versatility. I'll use this mixed with my foundation or tinted moisturiser or with body lotion for an all-over-glow. The fine brush helps to distribute precise, small amounts onto the brow bone, cupid's bow and down the bridge of the nose for a brightened finish. I also use along the collarbone when going out which helps define the bone structure and decolletage. The ultimate technique for me would be highlighting the top of the cheekbones, after applying blush and contouring underneath with a matte bronzer. The result: high, catwalk supermodel cheekbones that is guaranteed to send the whole clan of Victoria's Secret models into a fit of jealousy. Yes..really! :P
I absolutely adore Benefit's High Beam, it's a premium quality, natural looking highlighter with an incredible, glowing finish - well worth the premium pricing. It's my go-to highlighter day or night, rain, hail or shine. This product is like Photoshop in a bottle, except it never shuts down or freezes. Try it, you won't be disappointed!

Benefit High Beam
I just LOVE High Beam! This gorgeous luminous liquid formula has a smooth and slighty tacky texture that looks amazing in photos, feels light and airy on the skin and gives the skin a subtle luminous natural glow. As a make-up artist, I recommend this creamy luminiser to anyone in search of a liquid highlighter because this works so well. Brides and models love the way their skin looks when wearing High Beam. The brush applicator is easy to use, simply dab the brush along the desired area and pat the product in to the skin with your ring fingers. Winner of various awards, High Beam is certainly a winner in my eyes.

A little gem of a highlighter
I love the fact that this product is so easy to use. It comes in a little bottle similar to nail polish. The brush allows you to paint the product exactly where you want it and then all you need to do is blend. I use it mainly on my cheek bones to create a lovely subtle radiance which is exactly what I want in a highlighter - not too shimmery, just right for my complexion. The bottle is a generous size so I expect this will last me for some time which is good value.

My HG of Highlighters
I have tried MANY highlighters ( Becca Bird of Paradise, Becca Shimmering, Laura Mercier stick, Jane Iredale Moonglow) and this is HANDS DOWN the best one for me because: it works on my fair skin; a little goes a LONG way; it is thin and easy to put on top of other products (eye shadow, foundation). They key for me was to use little dabs of dots along the area I wanted shimmer and then softly "dot blend".

I LOVE IT.... INSTANT GORGEOUS
This illuminating cream is so economical because you only need the tiniest amount to give you a soft glow. The shine is subtle so you don't look 'greasy' which is what made me fall in love with it.
The colour is kind of fleshy-silvery which makes it more ideal for fairer complexions although darker skins can wear it too.
TIP: Apply only a few tiny dots to cheekbones/inside corner of eye near tear duct/anywhere else you want to illuminate, then pat it on rather than rub it in, this way it won't rub your foundation off and make the whole application look streaky.

Not my favourite highlighter
I had been wanting to try this product for ages and I must confess I was a little disappointed. I decided to try this product over moon beam as it seemed to be the more popular choice and it is said to work on all skin tones. I actually find that hard to believe as it applies as a silvery-white and looks a bit unnatural on even my fair skin. I never really wear makeup without a base first so when I apply this over foundation/powder it makes my face look a little patchy. When applying this I put some of it on the back of my hand and then apply it with my fingertips, so as to not contaminate the product. I've heard that it's better to wear at night and looks good in photos, but I've only ever worn it in the day and find the shine a bit too powerful. In saying that though, there is nothing worse than buying a highlighter that doesn't actually highlight. I have been using it on my cheekbones, bridge of the nose, cupid's bow, chin and brow bone, but I think in future I will save it just for the very tops of my cheekbones as this will look more flattering. An upside to High Beam is that it seems to dry on the skin, unlike some highlighters, and therefore doesn't wear off. Ás the effect is quite strong you only need to use a very small amount. In future I don't think I will buy this one again as I think there are better highlighters out there, such as m.a.c creme colour bases, which give a natural dewy glow and seem more easy to blend.

Pretty awesome
This is pretty much a must- have liquid highlighter for any girl who knows their makeup!
Highbeam is a pink- based liquid highlighter with an almost silver-y shimmer through it. It really makes your cheekbones pop, and can be mixed into foundation for a glow. Packaging- wise, Benefit always gets it right for me; it comes in a nail polish bottle and applicator- style packaging, which I find really handy for dotting the product onto specific areas of the face.
I would recommend this more for use in the nighttime, as it looks great with bright lights. I find it suits paler complexions more so than those with more tan complexions, which might be better suited to Moonbeam instead.

My fave highlighter/brightener
At first I thought it was pretty expensive (approx $50 for a product the same size as a nail polish bottle).
However a little goes a long way. Little dots where the sun naturally hits is the way to go! From my cupid's bow, brow bone, centre of the nose and on my cheeks just above where I usually put my blush.
I also use it near the inner corner of my eyes to instantly brighten them. I sometimes mix it with moisturiser to give me subtle glow!

Doesn't really 'do it' for me
This is a little cutie, love Benefit and their innovative product names.
It's a tiny bottle however I would say it is worth the price as it lasts for ages.
I like that it came with a little booklet to show you how to apply the product. Application is simple but go really lightly as you don't want the obvious white lines if you apply to much. It is thicker in consistency than other highlighters I have used.
I like this product, I don't think it works with my skin type however. Personally, this is one I now only use when I'm not wearing foundation underneath as for some reason it takes off whatever makeup I'm wearing underneath and I then I have obvious lines as the makeup around it comes off also and it ends up looking odd. Have used many other highlighters/illuminators and that has not happened before regardless of what it is going over. I have tried wearing it under makeup and the same thing happens
Shame!

HG Highlighter!
This is hands down the most versatile highlighter I've used. It can be used on my bare skin or with makeup and add a really really natural glow or be built up.
Its so easy to use and a little goes a VERY long way. My main problem with other highlighters was how obvious they were at times, with so much shimmer, but High Beam manages to highlight everything whilst looking so natural and blend perfectly in any light.
It does tend to dry a little around the top after a couple of months but thats easily fixed. The 13ml bottles lasts for ages, I think my last bottle actually went off before I could use it up and I use it nearly everyday so thats saying alot.

Great highlighter.
I love this so much, I literally use it everyday and have added this into my makeup routine. After my primer, moisturiser, foundation, bronzer, blush and concealer, I dot this along my cheek bones and brow bones to highlight them and I also dotted this along the centre of my nose to give my nose a thinner illusion, which is a trick I've learnt from the Benefit ladies. I don't use this all over because I think it isn't strong enough to last me for most of the day for an all over glow. The nail polish like bottle is very creative, the brush makes it easy to dot the highlighter in small places such as my brow bones and the centre of my nose, however, like nail polish in the bottles, the highlighter clogs around the rim of the bottle and up the brush too, so regularly clean the rim and the brush.
