Smashbox Halo Highlighting Wand A precision click-through pen for a dewy, gorgeous glow-anywhere. The creamy, shimmery formula changes the way light reflects off of the face to imitate a beautifully lit photo every time you use it.

Apply a small amount of product with the applicator brush, and then gently blend in with fingertips. Try brushing over tops of cheekbones, bridge of nose, cupid's bow, chin and above brow bones.

that's a no from me

I won this, and I'm glad I didn't pay $55 for it! Not only did it make mys kin incredibly oily looking (no glowey- greasy!) I didn't find it sat well with other makeups- if I used it over foundation is moved the other products, and under powder the glow just mattifies and vanishes. So basically, unless you have flawless skin and need no coverage, it;s kinda a no-go. I also can't help but hate anything that has an in build brush.. it's so unhygienic! you ut it on your face, then into the cap (while wet), then back into your face, the produst sits in the bristles with your skin cells and oil, just EW! no thanks. Also, just because the product sits on the bristles, they harden and clump together. it's kinda just a fail on all fronts for me.

Tips: try australis liquid strobe

Light on the skin, but not on the pocket

I won one of these bad boys, right at the time when I was investigating replacing my highlighting powder. It's a good sized product, it has lasted me months and still going strong, with 3-4 times a week use. At the price though, I would be hesitant to purchase again.

It also has a secure cap, although I worry about carrying it in a full makeup bag, because it is one of those highlighter wands where you push in the button on the bottom, and highlighter comes out amongst the bristles of the applicator; I worry that the button will get bumped/compressed in my bag, and I'll get wasted product coming out (hasn't happened yet though).

The highlighter is a great colour, a soft gold which isn't overly sparkly. I apply it along the lengths of my cheekbones, fanning out a little on the cheeks. One pump will do one cheek generously, apply with the brush and then blend gently to ensure there are no lines or streaks.

It really does have a great effect in photos, you look very luminescent.

Tips: The first time you use it and push the button, nothing happens. But don't go crazy like my friend did and start pumping away at the button, you'll get a highlighter explosion! Just angle the container so the brush faces down, gently spread the bristles, and gently push the button a couple of times until product comes out.

Smashbox highlighter review

I do like this highlighter and it blends well, but it is quite expensive. I think there are others that are better value for money and easier to work with :) I like it, but I can live without it.

Tips: Make sure you blend it well as its liquid and doesn't always go where you mean it to!

a magic wand

Using this exactly as instructed, across the cheek bones,cupids brow an the bridge of my nose. Its so subtle and light you hardly know its there.

A blessing and not, I love that its not heavy and does not clog up my pores however because its so light you really do need to be in natural sunlight especially if you are doing day make up or will be in the sun/dusk to make sure you do not get to carried away and turn into a vampire from twilight (super sparkly in sunlight), but be confident for evening wear, the contours of your face will be beautifully angular in the soft evening lights and in the flash of the camera.

I have had my wand for approximately 6 weeks and it is still going strong, as the wee pump measures out a good quantity of product that does spread and blend well.
