Sun Beam Highlighter

While I'm a huge fan of High Beam, it shows up a little bit too white on me; I'm pretty tan all year round. When I received a sample of the Sun Beam from an order I had made, I was beyond excited to try it out. It is seriously gorgeous! I love the gold tint; it truly looks like you've been kissed by the sun. I always put it on my cheek bones and brow bone, sometimes a tiny tiny bit on my cupid's bow as well. It doesn't clog pores at all, I've tried using it alone without the Porefessional. It still looks wonderful! It's smooth, silky and a little goes a LONG way. It's photo-friendly and lasts a whole day! I can't say enough about this product, comletely impressed!

As I have a very fair complexion, I have problems to have a proper suntan. Not that those problems matter much to me, since faking a suntan is so easy, and, on the other hand, I get a slight golden hue which I quite like. And this highlighter gives a lovely glow to the total suntan effect. I began using Sun beam by applying a few dots under my eyes and on my nose, pat and then smudge, and I still do it; but about a month ago I mixed some of it with HFOW in Honey and, wow!, perfect sunny radiance in a jiffy. Of course, such experiment is to be performed more often.

I'm not a huge bronzer gal, but I got this in the sampler along with Posie and Cha-Cha and I think of the three this is my favourite (though I love them all). That said, I probably won't use this super often, especially with Fall coming on. I have pretty light skin, bordering on fair, so a little goes a long way on my cheeks. I think I prefer it for my brow bone, though, but will still use it on my cheeks when using this for my brow bone. Is a great product for summer and I really wish I bought it earlier in the season, though am looking forward to getting more use come spring and summer next year. This will do better on warmer skin tones. I have a neutral/cool skin tone, and it doesn't look bad, but on warm tones it is probably amazing.

This is the second highlighter I've bought (the first being Girl Meets Pearl) and it's amazing! It really is sunshine in a bottle! From the day I've gotten this, there isn't a day that goes by where I haven't worn this. It gives my face a nice bronze look. With this highlighter, I don't have to wait for summer to get that beautiful bronzed look. I would definitely recommend this product for people that have medium/olive skin tone. Great job Benefit, I'm looking forward to buying more of your great products.

This being Benefit, I always expect to love their highlighters. Girl Meets Pearl is a holy grail product for me, and I've used both High Beam and Moon Beam in the past. I think Sun Beam will be my summertime answer to GMP!! It's truly liquid sun: a subtly metallic glow on the tops of my cheeks that gives them the illusion of bronzey, sunset-y skin. It's subtle enough to be daytime and work appropriate, but it gives an effect that will definitely turn heads. Love!

I love this. It makes you glow perfectly. As I have very light skin I thought that the product may be too dark on me as some usually are. When you open the bottle it does look dark but it blends perfectly with the skin and gives a natural shimmer. When the sun hits your face especially at night whilst the sun is setting it just makes you glow and stand out! Absolutely love this and would definitely buy it again!

PLEASE DON'T DISCONTINUE THIS! Maybe you're just not sending it to Ulta anymore or maybe you're d/c-ing it entirely, but I hope not. This is the best, most natural illuminator I've found that doesn't give a sparkly or makeup looking finish to it, especially for skin with olive tons like myself. High Beam looks too obvious and others you can see the pigments, they're too sparkly, etc...

I have fair skin and so don't usually wear bronze highlighters but for the times when I have a lot of time or special occasions when I tan and use foundation I love this highlighter. It is so subtle but at the same time I have been complemented on my glow. My face looks fresh and I love defining my cheekbones and under my brow with this product for the perfect finish.
