Pros
It seems to be a great product for color correction and as a highlighter! If you want a natural-looking highlighter, just apply it to the desired areas and it'll make you look gorgeous...
Cons
It's sometimes a hassle to twist the cap off, so my hand doesn't reach for it as often..

Pros
This is an excellent product with great under-eye color correction and convenient usage. I would rate it around 4.8 out of 5 points. I've been using it consistently for over a year, along with the Light Boost (yellow-toned) product. Color: 5/5 Texture: 4.5/5 Coverage: 3.8/5 Packaging: 4/5 - Usage I use it to brighten the under-eye and lip area after applying sunscreen. It provides a tone-up effect and acts as a color corrector as well. (I don't use a tone-up cream or primer.) - Color It's a light pink-toned shade, which is "perfect for covering dark circles." Since I wear glasses daily, the store assistant recommended this to me. She said that when wearing glasses, the under-eye area needs to be brightened more. Definitely, my overall complexion looks much more even when I use this product versus when I don't. There is a subtle shimmer, which I only noticed when I was looking for it to write this review. (The box and case have a shimmery glow, which is why I probably noticed it.) - Texture It's a liquid type, but not overly hydrating. If I don't prep my skin well, it can sometimes emphasize dryness or flakiness, so proper skin layering is important. However, if the texture was any thinner, it might not have provided such a seamless, skin-like finish. I use a damp sponge to apply it, as the built-in brush is a bit difficult to work with. The sponge helps to press it into the skin and makes it easier to apply foundation or cushion on top. - Coverage It provides coverage to even out the skin tone, but doesn't completely conceal. The MAC artist said it could be used as a primer, but since I have large pores, it only slightly minimizes their appearance. - Case and Applicator The case is quite convenient - you just twist it to dispense the product onto the brush. The brush itself doesn't have the best glide, so I prefer to use a damp sponge to blend it out. It's portable and I always keep it in my makeup bag. Based on my experience of buying 3 (including the Light Boost), the amount dispensed per twist varies slightly, but around 3-4 twists seems about right. The volume isn't very large, and you can't put the product back in once it's been twisted out, so it's important to only twist out what you need.
Cons
- It is not possible to know the remaining capacity - The built-in brush would be more convenient if it were slightly wider
Tip
Applying lip products and neatly finishing the lower part of the lips on both sides is also very useful!

Pros
Excellent adhesion, does not lift, great for touch-up makeup, naturally corrects, applies a brightening effect that matches my skin tone, economical as you only need a small amount.
Cons
Feels a bit lacking as a highlighter, the quantity is too small, also feels insufficient as a concealer, but works well overall to provide a brightening effect.

Pros
This is my holy grail product ㅠㅠ It's the MAC Prep + Prime Highlighter. This product is great for color correcting and brightening the skin before applying foundation or BB cream. You can also use it after applying foundation or BB cream to highlight the high points of your face like the nose bridge, under the eyes, center of the chin, and center of the forehead to add more luminosity and glow. ㅠㅠ It's very convenient to carry around, so I sometimes use it to touch up areas that have darkened or faded throughout the day. I generally prefer a more satin-like finish, and this product applies so lightly and seamlessly like my own skin, so I can't even imagine doing my makeup without this product anymore ㅠㅠ You should definitely go to your nearest MAC store and try it out for yourself!
Cons
It can sometimes look a bit powdery and emphasize dry patches on the skin, especially when my skin is feeling really tired and dehydrated. The rotating applicator is also a bit tricky, and it can be frustrating when too much product comes out.
Tip
When I don't want my bare face to be exposed, I'll dab this on any dull or uneven areas and blend it out towards the edges. Even my own mother can't tell that I've applied anything, and I've done this before to achieve a flawless 'no makeup' look. No one ever knows that I've used a product.
