Pros
When applied, your face instantly brightens and your complexion appears clearer.
Cons
At first, I broke out in pimples, but I'm not sure if it's because of this product, so I'm just using it while managing my skin.

Pros
I have bluish dark circles, and I was so impressed after using this product! My skin is thin, and the dark circles would crease a lot when I applied it, so it was a total mess. But when I use this, it brightens up my face like turning on a fluorescent light, and it's perfect for covering the dark circles!
Cons
There's no dryness, and it's easy to spread thinly. I'm using it with a 191 brush, and the coverage is just right for the area.
Tip
Not only on the eye area, but also applying it to the cheek area in the center of the face can make your face look smaller~

Pros
I usually try to just even out my skin tone rather than doing a full base makeup to cover my freckles, but this concealer/highlighter is perfect for quickly brightening my dark circles and the area around my mouth. It's a holy grail product for me!!! I just swipe on some sunscreen, apply a cushion foundation, and I'm done with my makeup.
Cons
You may feel that the amount is a bit on the lighter side..! But other than that, I didn't have any other complaints.

Pros
It works really well for covering dark circles under the eyes or dark areas around the mouth. It applies lightly, which is perfect for someone like me who dislikes the thickness of concealers. I prefer something that applies thinly and naturally. Just a light cover-up of the dark areas can make the face look brighter. The lasting power is not bad either.
Cons
The attached brush makes it difficult to clean, so I'm a bit worried about the hygiene. And over time, a lot of oil comes up. This makes the face look brighter when I apply it, but the ingredients are a bit questionable, and because of the oil, I'll only use it on important occasions.
Tip
The method the MAC store employee recommended is to draw a line on the dark areas, like drawing a line, and then use the brush to spread out the remaining product diagonally. And if you use a large powder brush to blend it out, it applies lightly very well. It's good for covering dark areas.

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.

Pros
The color is so vibrant that it makes my face look alive. It's great for using as a highlighter or to cover up dark circles on the face! It doesn't cause any breakouts or caking. Even on dry days, it doesn't seem to cake much! Despite having sensitive skin, it didn't cause any breakouts. The price is also quite affordable.
Cons
At first, I thought it was defective because I had to turn it around a hundred times before it started to come out. The ingredients are a bit disappointing. And since it's made with a brush, it's not the most hygienic.

Pros
The point application gives a pink glow, creating a vivid and radiant facial expression. Even for dry skin, the finish was not too matte.
Cons
It's unfortunate that there are as many as 7 cautionary ingredients. Other than that, there were no major disappointments.
Tip
While I couldn't feel a significant difference between applying with a sponge and patting with my fingers, using a sponge would likely result in a more natural expression.

Pros
I only use it to cover the dark circles under my eyes, but it doesn't just cover the dark circles - it gives the impression of lighting up the entire area around the eyes, about one finger's width down from the eyes. This makes the whole face look brighter! I think the liquid highlighter gives a nice, wide-ranging tone-up effect that you can't get with other products. It's natural-looking because there's no shimmer, and I really like the tone itself. I use shade 23, but I think 21 and 23 would both work well for me. A friend who uses 21 recommended it highly and bought it for me, and I've been using it regularly. When I skip using it for a few days and then apply it again, people around me say my face looks brighter today! I really like it.
Cons
The twist-up packaging makes it a bit tricky to control the amount that comes out. Sometimes too much comes out.
Tip
After using foundation to even out my whole face, I apply a single line of the highlighter about one finger's width down from each eye, and then gently pat it in with my fingers. This gives the impression of brightening the upper cheeks. But if I do this alone, the under-eye area might look too bright in comparison, so I also lightly apply powder all over with a brush (not a puff!) to balance the tone across my whole face. This works perfectly!

Pros
The highlighter part brightens the skin naturally and contains pearls, making the skin look radiant. If you use a similar or slightly brighter shade to your skin tone, you can go out with just this applied and look perfect.
Cons
It applies slightly thickly, so you need to pat it well with a puff, and the uneven texture on the forehead is emphasized. It's only the forehead that...
Tip
If you apply it to the central part of the face, the face will naturally brighten.

The bright color makes my complexion look brighter and better when I apply this.
Cons
I didn't notice it in the summer, but in the winter, it sometimes flakes due to dryness.
