Designer Brands Hi-Lights Illuminator Review

This is not a bad product I compared with another brand liquid one and the DB had a more high lighting look than the other brand it has a nice soft applicator like a lip gloss and can really add shimmer and glow to your cheeks its affordable but perhaps a bigger container? it looks like a lip gloss the additives in this formulation are good for the skin so that is what I like about it and the look is really pretty and you only need to use sparingly if you want a subtle look. I think this is a popular product which gives good results and the sparkle is not all chunky glitter like with some other cheap options.

I was obsessing over highlighters for a while and wanted to try every single one I could find!

I came across this and thought I'd give it a nudge since it was ridiculously cheap.

When I use it on top of my foundation, I don't like the effect. It looks cakey and like I got in to my nieces dress-up make up collection and poured glittery stripes on my face.

However, under my foundation, on the high points of my face and Cupids bow - AMAZING! It gives me that subtle sheen that makes me look glowy and it's not uber pigmented so the pink in it doesn't come through.

The texture and consistency is a little on the thin side but a little goes a long, long way.

I liked how this product was able to provide my face with a healthy looking natural glow. It was the perfect amount of shimmer without being over dramatic and there were no chunky glitters in sight. The packaging is great for traveling due to its small compact size.

This was the first liquidy highlighter I've tried and I wasn't super impressed I only tried it over foundation on my cheek bones and the finish was ok but powder highlighters give the same or maybe even a better finish and they are easier to apply I found this quite annoying to apply the applicator is a strange choice and I had to work really fast to blend it out so it didn't dry out.

I feel like the amount of product is good and would last a long time as a little amount goes a long way and it is super cheap at $10 from postie plus Although I wouldn't repurchase I like my powders more.

I received this as a free gift from when I used to purchase Designer Brands products due to having no money. I have found that i absolutely hate the applicator due to it having a lip gloss wand which I find is very unhygienic. I found that this illuminator didn't work for me underneath foundation as I had awful flashback. I found that this was good for a very healthy, radiant glow on top of my foundation. I have found however that this product is easy to apply as I dab some product onto the tips of my fingers and apply to my cheekbones that way and it also blends easily. I wouldn't repurchase due to preferring to use a highlighting powder but think this is an excellent starting product for beginners and is even good for someone on a budget.

I found this product to leave me with a very sparkly appearance meaning I looked like a child who had found the glitter had attacked me. The lipgloss like brush made it hard to evenly apply.

I brought this for around my eye area and cheekbones, I would've preferred a shimmer dust or more or a mousse?

I found the lip gloss- like applicator meant I had to spend extra time blending.

I would try another alternative before buying again but the colour really worked for making my eyes POP.
