It is a great tool. You add it just to the areas of your face where you want the light to reflect the most (i.e. usually upper cheek bones and under eyebrows ) and it gives your face a light-reflecting glow, without shiny-ness. It helps to make you look fresh and polished.

Highlighting products are often light colored and/or shimmery, and they are meant to reflect light, accenting contours of your face (ie browbone, cheekbones) and diffuse light, making your skin overall look smoother. This product seems more suited to broad application, with a large powder brush, although a pale shade could be swept under the brow with an eyeshadow brush.
I've used this product and like it, I have a peachy pink tone(not sure of the shade name) and use it like a blush. It is makeup, not skincare, so it doesn't do any miracles like shrink pores or improve skin tone, but the soft sheen is flattering.

I use a light highlighting powder to diffuse a brighter or darker blush, or to brighten complexion over forehead/nose so I don't look so matte-finish. I use a darker highlighter to add warmth. Good trick I heard was to do a "W" shape with tops of "W" hitting corner of eyes and on ridge of nose; bottom of "W" hits apple of cheeks.

You would use it almost like a bronzer, focus especially on your cheekbones, nose, forehead and chin.

Question

Is "Shimmer" a WARM luminiscent pink?

Have plenty of "cool" pinks. Very fair Irish skin and green eyes. Looking for a subtle, healthy, pinkish warmth. Bronzers look ridiculous on me.

I have very fair skin, and I have shimmer. Not totally thrilled because I don't feel pretty with medium to light beige shimmer on my cheekbone which is what shimmer is for we fair skinned lassies. I think smashbox heartbreaker illum. or the peach one.

Question

best illuminizer

I am looking to purchase an illuminizer and noticed there are TONS at sephora! Any suggestions? I use the Laura Mercier mineral foundation and nars orgasm blush. I am thinking about either going with the Smashbox Illuminizer in Flash but just wanted some input first:)

Hi,

All of them are actually pretty good. Even NARS has a new Illuminator, which is excellent. Instead of making a recommendation for you, I have a suggestion. If possible, go into a Sephora store, and look at all the possibilities. Some work better with certain skin types, and skin tones. I have friends who love things I hate, and others who hate what I love. For example, I like both Smashbox colors, and love the Stila powders (which were on sale at two for $10 for two huge cakes), and there are so many more. The Sephora consultants can help you narrow down your choices. Some are powders, some creams, so I guess you need to decide that, also. Additionally some products are more versatile than others, and do more than one thing. I know this is not a specific answer to your question, but seeing and feeling the products, if there is a Sephora near you could really help.

I'm sorry for not being specific. I hope this helps a little bit.

Question

Is it worth the money?

I am thinking of buying this for highlighting but I don't know if it would be a waste of money or not. I have fair skin, blue eyes, freckles, and brunette hair. I was thinking of buying it in the shimmer color since that seems to be the least harsh in coloring, but it's pretty pricey. How much use do you get out of it? Am I better off going with another product or should I get this?

i think it is absolutely worth the money. i haven't finished my first pot but have put a dent in it, and already went and bought a second one, so as not to run out! absolutely worth it, not too much, but like it says, it gives a light color and some shimmer. and the shimmer color is perfect!

I would recommend that you either try TINT or PRISM.
But either way, you are going to look a little more highlighted when you apply a highlighter to your cheeks.
The TINT gives a nice warm glow, and so will PRISM.
I would also recommend that you try the Luminous Lotion in Glow.
I have both products (in lighter colours though because I am fair) and the lotion is the best. The powder however, is perfect for on the go makeup.

Well it depends on what kind of look you are going for. I have this in prizm and absolutely love it. When I am in a rush, I just put this all over my face and then my full color lip gloss in Aura and I am out the door. It just gives your face a nice serene look. This product works w/out foundation as well. This item does not accentuate your fine lines, it just glosses over them for a perfect complexion. I hope this help you.
