  Pros

  It instantly brightens your face, making your complexion look clearer and more radiant

  Cons

  After first using it, I noticed some small bumps appearing on my skin. I'm not sure if it's because of this product, but I'm continuing to use it while monitoring my skin

  Pros

  I have bluish dark circles under my eyes, and I was incredibly moved after using this product! My skin is thin, so eye makeup often creases, and I was at a total loss for what to do. When I apply this, it's like turning on a fluorescent light - it brightens up the area so much and is perfect for covering dark circles!

  Cons

  There's no dryness, and it spreads thinly which is great! I'm using it with a 191 brush, and it's perfect for applying to just the right area.

  Tip

  Not just for the eye area, but if you apply it to the center of your cheeks, it makes your face look smaller!

  Pros

  As someone with lots of freckles, I prefer evening out my complexion rather than aiming for full coverage. This concealer/highlighter is perfect for quickly brightening dark circles and the area around my mouth! It's my holy grail!!! I just apply this over my sunscreen, add some cushion foundation, and my makeup is done~

  Cons

  You might find the amount a bit less than expected... But other than that, I had no complaints!

  Pros

  It's really great for covering dark circles under the eyes or darker areas around the mouth. It applies lightly, which is perfect for someone like me who dislikes the thickness of traditional concealers. I prefer products that apply thinly and naturally rather than heavy coverage. Just a light touch on the darker areas makes your face look brighter. The staying power isn't bad either.

  Cons

  I'm a bit concerned about hygiene since the brush is attached, making it difficult to clean. Also, as time passes, it tends to get quite oily. While it's nice that it brightens the face, I'm not thrilled about some of the ingredients. Due to the oiliness, I'm planning to use it only on important days.

  Tip

  Here's a tip I learned from a MAC store employee: Draw a line on the dark areas as if you're tracing them, then use the brush to blend the remaining product diagonally. Finally, use a large powder brush to diffuse it. This method helps it apply smoothly and lightly. It's great for concealing dark spots!

  Pros

  This is my holy grail product! It's MAC's Prep + Prime Highlighter. You can apply it before foundation or BB cream to even out your complexion and add a radiant glow. It's also great for highlighting after base makeup - just dab it on the bridge of your nose, under eyes, center of chin, forehead, or anywhere you want extra luminosity. The portable size is perfect for touch-ups when your makeup starts to fade or settle. I love how it feels light and powdery, melting into my skin so naturally. Now I can't imagine doing my makeup without it! I highly recommend stopping by a MAC counter to try it out for yourself.

  Cons

  While it has a nice powdery finish, it can look a bit patchy if your skin is very tired and dry. The twist-up applicator can be tricky - you can't retract the product once it's dispensed, so be careful not to over-apply.

  Tip

  When you want to look naturally flawless without obvious makeup, just apply this to any dull areas and blend outwards. It creates such a seamless 'no makeup' look that even my mom can't tell I'm wearing anything!

  Pros

  The vibrant color really brings life to my face. It's perfect as a highlighter or for concealing dark circles under the eyes! It doesn't cause any blemishes and doesn't look cakey. Even on dry days, it doesn't settle into fine lines! Despite having sensitive skin, it didn't cause any irritation. The price is wallet-friendly too, which is great.

  Cons

  At first, I'm not exaggerating, I had to twist it about a hundred times before the product started coming out. I thought it was broken! The ingredients are slightly disappointing. Also, since it's applied with a brush, it might not be the most hygienic option.

  Pros

  When applied to specific areas, it gives a lively and radiant look with a pink hue, creating a dimensional and vibrant facial expression. Even for those with extremely dry skin, the finish doesn't feel matte.

  Cons

  It's disappointing that there are 7 ingredients to be cautious about. Other than that, I didn't find any major drawbacks.

  Tip

  I didn't notice a significant difference between applying it with a sponge versus patting it on with hands, but I think using a sponge might result in a more natural-looking application.

  Pros

  I use this specifically to conceal dark areas under my eyes, but rather than just covering dark circles, I apply it in a line about a finger's width below my eyes, then blend it upwards to brighten the entire under-eye area. It brightens the under-eye so effectively that it makes my whole face look radiant! I think it gives a brightening effect to a wider area that only a liquid highlighter can achieve. I love that it looks natural without any shimmer, and the shade itself is perfect. I use shade 23, but I think both 21 and 23 could work for a range of skin tones. My friend who uses shade 21 highly recommended it and bought it for me, and I've been using it consistently. When I skip it for a few days due to being busy and then apply it again, people around me comment that my face looks brighter today! It's great!

  Cons

  The twist-up applicator makes it a bit tricky to control the amount that comes out. Sometimes too much product is dispensed, which is slightly disappointing.

  Tip

  After evening out my complexion with foundation, I draw a line about a finger's width below each eye and gently pat it in with my fingers. The goal is to brighten the upper cheek area! If you only do this, it might make just the under-eye area look too bright. So, I recommend using a brush (not a compact puff, but a proper brush!) to apply a thin layer of powder all over to balance out the tone. It works wonders!

  Pros

  It naturally brightens the highlighted areas and contains shimmer that gives a radiant look. When used in a shade similar to or slightly lighter than your complexion, it's perfect for wearing on its own.

  Cons

  It applies a bit thick, so you need to pat it well with a puff. It tends to emphasize texture on the forehead area specifically...

  Tip

  Touching up the center of the face creates a natural brightening effect.

  The bright shade really enhances my complexion, giving me a lovely luminous look
