Customer Rating: Summary: High Beam for a perfect glow! Comment: I use this product everyday, makeup or not. I usually apply (in little dots) to the upper part of my cheeks, inner eye area and eyebrow bone. I put the product on after my sheer liquid foundation. I find it works best after foundation, but only if you use liquid, rather than powdery (it can mess up the powdery foundation). I blend with a sponge then use powder and a brush all over to set my face for the day.
I learned this from Carmindy on What Not To Wear (she has a newsletter too!) and I get compliments all the time on how pretty my face is and how I look just like I'm "glowing". I have fair skin, but always have a light tan in the summer and the High Beam looks even better. I usually go through 1 bottle a year, that's how long it lasts and it's never gotten clumpy or thick. Same consistency as when I bought it. I'm buying more...

LOVE it. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent when properly applied Comment: Benefit High Beam can transform a world-weary face (take note all you working ladies!) into one that appears vibrant and alert. It can brighten the eyes and de-emphasize those under eye shadows while enhancing facial bone structure. Your success with it depends highly on skill of application. It must be judicious. I suggest several practice sessions before you take it out in public and to try it under different forms of light. High Beam is highly reflective and, if applied with a heavy hand or in the wrong places, can have disastrous results. On the other hand, when applied well, it is a miracle worker. Experiment with it over or under your makeup as the results are quite different. I've seen it perform amazing results "thinning" a broad nose by application of the thinnest possible line of it down the center. I've also seen it create pronounced cheek bones in a lady that wasn't blessed with them.
I would have given High Beam the full five stars but have a slight criticism of the bottle and applicator. Since this product may last you a year or more, it would be good to have a bottle and applicator that remain somewhat clear of product. Instead, the bottle neck and applicator can become easily gummed up. Also the length of the brush hairs are too long and can result in a sloppy application. I find it much better to take up some of the product from the brush onto my own smaller and shorter-haired brush. This way I am guaranteed a precise application. Customer Rating: Summary: High Beam is High Quality Comment: Not only is this a great highlighter for my cheekbones and eyebrows (note: best used on tweezed brows or else it draws attention to stray hairs.), but it also helps to disguise the awful undereye circles I tend to get.
I also use the product around the lines of my nose, it helps my nose look longer and thiner, as I have a short slight wide nose.
You have to play around a little to discover where and how much works for you but that's always something fun to do.
Customer Rating: Summary: ooops - not 20 anymore Comment: Benefit Cosmetics High BeamI used to use this product when I was younger (much younger) and liked it very much. It highlights any place you want to draw an eye to - cleavage, shoulders, brow, etc. Forgot that a couple of decades had passed and NO, I no longer want to draw anyones eyes to my cleavage anymore! I gave it to a 29 yr. old and she LOVES it, like I used to.
