    Natural glowy look!

    I love how the product turned from creamy to powder finish. It gives you a glowing, natural looking highlight finish. Just like the bronzer and foundation stick, it has a creamy and moisturizing feel on the skin but not heavy.

    I received the product fron PinchMe inexchange of an honest review.

    Nice and smooth highlighter

    I received Ilia’s Lightshift Cream Highlighter in the Arc shade from PINCHme for free in exchange for my honest review. This highlighter feels so lightweight and smooth. It’s easy to apply and blend using my fingers and makeup brushes. I applied it on multiple places on my face (Cupid’s bow, cheekbones, bridge of my nose, inside of my eye and forehead). It accentuates exactly what I intended it to do. This creamy highlighter is my new favorite. I love that this highlighter has a nice mirror with it and is a convenient size for my small travel makeup bag!

    Great Highilighter!

    I love Ilia! The highlighter is not something I have always used so I'm no pro! I use it just on my cheekbones with my bronzer and Ilia Suoer Serum Skin Tint and it's my perfect pairing! My pictures are Very subtle, however outside you can see it better. It is build able, and cream based. You can use a brush like me, or finger works great to get it just where you want it! I use little but I feel like it helps my cheekbones stand out just enough for me! I would recommend it for sure!

    Nice creamy formula

    I love the creamy consistency of this highlighter. I received it free from Pinchme, this color may have been too light for my skin tone, but it still has a nice highlighting effect. I paired it with the eclipse bronzer, this duo gave a nice "sun kissed" look.
