Pros
The good thing is that it's a liquid type, so it looks very natural. I think those who don't like pearl finishes would prefer this.
Cons
It's drying. The highlighted areas became dry, so I stopped using it.
Tip
According to the MAC store staff, you can also use the dark circle concealer as an eye brightener before application.

Pros
I received the gift. It seems to have fine pearls in it, and I can definitely feel the highlighter effect. The color is also nice, like a peach tone.
Cons
It's heavy, and when I apply it, it makes my skin feel dry. When I apply it under my eyes, the makeup seems to flake, and it makes my skin even drier. After a few applications, I stop using it. Especially considering the price, it's too expensive. You have to twist it to use it, but it doesn't come out at all, and when it does come out all at once, it's really frustrating.

Pros
1. Dark Circle Coverage The color is suitable for covering dark circles. However, it seems the limit is for skin tone 21 and below. For those with a deeper skin tone, it may appear overly bright. 2. Design The sleek black color and slim design make it easy to carry around and store in a pouch. But to be honest, I don't think I'll be carrying it around much... 3. Personal Satisfaction Anyone interested in cosmetics probably has a few MAC products. Owning this highlighter from MAC gives a sense of satisfaction, like 'I have a MAC highlighter!' Even though it's not an inexpensive highlighter, it provides that level of satisfaction... but it also feels a bit bittersweet.
Cons
It was difficult to think of good points to write about. To be honest, I was quite disappointed when using this product. 1. Dryness It's a liquid highlighter, but when applied, it feels quite thick and matte. Since it's meant to be used under the eyes, the dryness and lack of adherence makes it feel a bit unnatural. 2. Color The color is very bright. It has a strong pink tone, which may not suit everyone. Even though many people these days have fair skin, you should definitely test the color to see if it matches you. 3. Inconvenient Packaging This product has a brush applicator in the front, and when you twist the back, the liquid highlighter comes out with a click. But it's difficult to control the amount that comes out. The amount I want to use is often less than what comes out with one twist, and I can't put the excess back in, so I have to wipe it off, which is a waste. And since I can't always clean the brush, it feels a bit unsanitary. 4. No Intention to Repurchase I just keep this product tucked away. Maybe people who are more skilled at makeup can utilize it well. But for me, I want a product that's easy for me to use and suits me well. This highlighter is just too difficult for me to work with.

Pros
It's very pink, but the color payoff isn't too strong, so it has a nice highlighting effect? The buildable coverage is definitely there, and it's easy to carry around.
Cons
It's quite pricey, and on my fair skin, it shows up as a very pale pink... Most importantly, it's drying ㅠ I can't layer it over foundation, and it's useless for touch-ups. I have dry skin, and in the winter, I just can't use it ㅠ In the summer, the pale tone is also a bit too much.
Tip
Could you please give me some tips? I hate to see this go to waste. Be sure to test it out and check the color in natural lighting before buying. I wish I had gone for a different shade.

Pros
I went to the Mac store to buy lipstick, and the store staff applied it for me, saying my under-eye area looked dark. Since then, it has become my holy grail product! Haha I've wanted to keep buying it, but I've heard a lot of reviews saying it's drying. However, I think I need to use this product no matter what, and I'll try to address the dryness with other products.
Cons
If I don't apply an oil balm, it feels really drying. :(

Pros
First of all, since it's in liquid form, the adhesion is good, and there's little pearl fallout since there's not much pearl content. Even if there's pearl, since it's in liquid form, it sticks to the skin. I bought this to use as an eye corner highlighter, dark circle cover, and highlighter, and the pink-toned shades work well for covering bluish dark circles, so it's good for dark circle coverage, and you can use it as a more dewy, natural-looking highlighter instead of a cyborg-like one.
Cons
First of all, the pink tone is quite strong, and it didn't match my skin tone. Since I have a general pinkish flush on my cheeks, even if I just apply this highlighter lightly on my forehead or apple of the cheeks, my whole face ends up looking pinkish. And it didn't match my skin tone, so the highlighting function was not as satisfactory as I expected. And after applying, it feels a bit drying and slightly caky. Also, it's difficult to control the amount, and the applicator can't be cleaned, so it's unhygienic. I ended up cutting it, but after that, it seems to come out strangely. So it's better not to cut it, and just wipe it with a cotton pad when using.

Pros
Apply a thin layer around the undereyes, corners of the mouth, and nose area before applying foundation. This has a tone-up function as well as a highlighter effect. It has a built-in brush, making it convenient to use and easy to control the amount.
Cons
The brush can be a bit difficult to clean, so it may not be the most hygienic option. It can also be slightly drying. It's best to use it with a well-hydrated skincare routine. I also found it to have a slightly grainy texture.
Tip
For dry skin, use a well-hydrating skincare routine!

Pros
When applied, it becomes incredibly radiant and the highlighting effect is definitely more pronounced compared to similar products from other brands.
Cons
Since it can make your skin feel dry, be sure to apply it after your skincare routine and before your base makeup.

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.
