I'm not sure about using it as a highlighter... I only tried it to cover and brighten under my eyes. Since it's a brush applicator, I'm a bit concerned about hygiene.

I've been using this instead of a highlighter to cover dark circles and brighten up my under-eye area. It's quite good for that purpose. I'm really enjoying it!

프렙+프라임 하이라이터 [라이트]

The coverage isn't strong. 
It doesn't last very long.

This product is best for light makeup looks or as a base in your skincare routine.

1. Perfect for quick errands
2. Ideal for natural/bare-faced/effortless makeup looks
3. Great as a makeup base

It's versatile like a highlighter, but I personally use it under my eyes to brighten dark circles. 
For intense dark circles, mixing it with NARS concealer is a winning combination.

The formula is hydrating, making it excellent for those with dry skin.

An amazing product for days when you don't want heavy makeup!!!

The only downside is that it's a bit pricey for the amount you get...

It's incredibly convenient to use. I mainly apply it generously to my T-zone as a highlighter, and it's great for covering dark circles, cheekbones, and any dull areas on my face. Since I have fair skin, it seems to make my complexion look even cleaner and brighter. I'm really satisfied with it!

For a base highlighter, it tends to clump. The amount is quite small. It gets oily and makes my skin look excessively shiny, as if it's covered in grease.

It brightens up my complexion nicely. I really love how it makes my skin look radiant.

The twist-up dispenser is convenient, but sometimes it dispenses a bit too much product. Other than that, it's nicely hydrating and quite good.

This product works wonders for redness and dark circles. When applied to the cheek and smile line areas, it gives a nice volume effect while brightening up the face. I bought it after trying a sample and I've been using it consistently because I love it so much.

After applying lipstick, you can create a more dimensional look by dabbing a small amount just below the lip line, on dark circles, and in the T-zone area!

Perhaps because my skin tends to be dry, it didn't adhere well. It often looked patchy on my skin.

I think it's perfect for highlighting and emphasizing with its bright color! It was convenient to apply directly with a brush.

It's not exactly budget-friendly, and if you don't control the amount well, it can look a bit floaty on the skin.

I've been using this on my forehead, under my eyes, and down the bridge of my nose. Originally, I bought it as a highlighter, but I'm amazed at how well it covers pores and blemishes. I definitely plan to repurchase.

If you're unsure about which shade to choose or how to use it, I'd suggest visiting a department store. The staff there can likely help you find the perfect match for your needs!

I was a bit concerned about not being able to see how much product was left and whether the brush stayed clean over time...

As someone with blemish-prone skin, I found traditional foundation too heavy. So, I switched to just using base makeup, concealer, and highlighter. I tried this product after getting a recommendation at a department store, and I loved how easy it was to use! I applied it as a brightener under my eyes and around my nose. The brush applicator made it super convenient! I remember it lasted quite a while too, as the amount was surprisingly generous.

It's hard to control the amount when squeezing it out from the back. It sometimes comes out too much.
I'm not sure if it's good or not... The cover isn't great either
and it's too expensive.

I bought it based on an employee recommendation, but it's not that great after using it. It's easy to use though.

At first, you'll need to hear the click sound about 20 times before it starts to come out a little. After that, it's about 3-5 times. If you accidentally turn it all the way at once, a storm will come out and it'll be a big problem.

I don't understand why they made the applicator like that, but other than that, it has no downsides.

It's a brightener, but it usually has about 0.7 times the coverage of a concealer, so it covers dark circles well and can also cover redness or blemishes around the nose. And there's a big difference between using it and not using it. There doesn't seem to be any pearl-like effect, but it gives a glow to the face. If the applicator wasn't so annoying, it would be really nice.
