Pros
The sunken areas are naturally and brightly covered. It can be applied to the areas where I want to create a three-dimensional effect, but personally, I don't like heavy makeup, so I like the natural-looking finish.
Cons
It's hard to expect outstanding coverage. If you like to heavily apply highlighter, I wouldn't recommend this.
Tip
Actually, I really enjoy the fun clicking sound when I twist and use the refill.

Pros
+ This product seems to have been used for a long time. It's a highlighter, but I don't use it as a highlighter, and instead use it as a concealer. + I use foundation in shade 17 or so, and this color matches me well. + Looking at the photo, I was worried because there was a reddish blemish under my eyes, but after using this a few times, it covered it well. + It's in a brush form, so it doesn't get on my hands, and just a quick swipe is enough to cover things, so it's very convenient to use.
Cons
+ To be honest, I'm not sure of any downsides. MAC cosmetics are famous, and this product was one of my favorites among the MAC products I've used.

Pros
This covers my dark circles. It's a bit dry, so the store recommended this over a concealer.
Cons
The only downside is that it's a bit pricey? Other than that, there's not much else I can complain about.
Tip
After my base, I apply this to my dark circles five times with a brush, then dab it in with my fingers or a sponge. After that, I use the Cha & Park Propolis Cushion in shade 21 to cover my whole face! The dark circles completely disappear!

Pros
The pink base makes the skin look brighter and the coverage is great when applied to the nose, cheeks, and under-eye area! I've been using it for several refills now, and while I don't expect it to perform like a perfect highlighter, it's great if you're looking for an easy-to-use product that provides a combined effect of a highlighter, cushion, or concealer.
Cons
I didn't realize there were major issues since I haven't had major breakouts, but the ingredients seem to be the worst among the products I've seen... Boo hoo. Other than the ingredients, I really like it...
Tip
Gently dab a small amount on the tip of the nose, forehead, front of the cheeks, and chin, then use a puff to blend for brightened coverage of any uneven areas.

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
The coverage looks good without looking like you're wearing makeup, and it doesn't make you look dull.
Cons
The amount seems a bit small. There is some caking around the blemishes and pimple scars on the sides of my nose!
Tip
For those who find concealer too heavy and cakey, this could be a good option to help reduce dullness.

Pros
This seems to be very good for covering dark circles and can be used as a highlighter to brighten the face. It's moisturizing and has good adherence.
Cons
If you also want blemish coverage, the coverage might be a bit weak, so you'll need to think about it carefully. The rest is very good.
Tip
When you twist the end, it comes out, but don't twist a lot at once - use a little bit at a time so you can control the amount.

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
- The 'Dark Circle Eraser' lives up to its name, covering dark circles even better than most concealers! (Brownish and stubborn dark circles) - The highlighting effect on other areas is also good and doesn't cake - Good portability
Cons
- Difficult to maintain brush cleanliness - Trouble caused by the brush... ^ㅠ^ - Not cheap, quite disappointing
Tip
The 3rd and 4th photos are of the dark circles and chin area where I used the product ㅠ..ㅠ I couldn't use it because of the trouble it caused in the application area due to the brush, so now I'm just squeezing it out onto the back of my hand and dabbing it on with a puff.

Pros
The pigmentation, coverage, and longevity are all great. The moment you apply it, you'll have a porcelain-like complexion.
Cons
The quantity is a bit too small, which is a bit disappointing. Other than that, I have no complaints.
Tip
It's amazing for touch-ups.
