When applied to the tip of the nose, it gives a translucent effect, and I found it more natural than powder highlighters. Rather than using it all over, I prefer to dab it on my puff and apply it mainly to the tip of my nose and cheekbones.
ConsIt's a bit tricky to apply due to the nature of stick products. If you apply it directly over your base makeup, it can disrupt the existing base. Even though it contains pearls, the effect is subtle when applied, so if you're looking for a more dramatic highlighting effect, it might feel slightly lacking. However, I personally like the natural look, so this aspect was fine for me.
TipInstead of applying directly from the stick, it's better to dab it onto a puff first. I sometimes pat it on with my fingers, but for larger areas, this can create visible edges. A beauty blender works well for this product.

It's smooth and can be comfortably applied over makeup.
ConsThere's nothing really bad about it. The only downside is that it's a bit pricey.

I don't regret my choice even now. This product is a hydrating base with pearl particles. It has a slightly bouncy texture, but it's not unpleasantly sticky or tacky. When applying makeup, you can achieve a very natural glowing base. In the past, when I layered essence, sunscreen, and a glowing base, my makeup would feel heavy and pill. Now, I use this partially as a base substitute before foundation, and it creates a beautifully natural dewy finish. Since it already gives a natural dewy look, considering the cost, I'd recommend the Sculpting type. If you're looking for a completely clear balm for a bare-faced look, there's a similar domestic product around $30 that I'd suggest.
ConsDon't apply this over foundation. Balm-type highlighters tend to cause pilling. Instead, use this first and then apply a lightweight cushion or foundation on top. I'm unsure about its longevity. As time passes, it seems to blend with the skin's natural oils, making it hard to tell if it's still there or has faded away.

It's actually a highlighter stick! The pearls aren't cyberpunk-ish, but rather a subtle gold that gives a natural glow. Using this product makes your skin look amazing! I apply it on my cheekbones, forehead, between brows, brow bone, nose, and above the upper lip. It creates a dimensional and dewy skin look. It doesn't clump and melts smoothly into the skin. It feels oily and moisturizing, so it seems to hydrate too. The stick format makes it convenient to carry around. It's quite versatile - you can use it as a base or as a highlighter.
ConsFirst off, the price is wickedly high. If you apply the stick directly to your face after base makeup, it can smudge and remove your foundation. There's a slight stickiness, so your hair might stick to it.
TipInstead of applying the stick directly to your skin, try rubbing it on your fingers first. Then, gently pat and blend it onto the areas where you want to add glow. This method prevents your base makeup from coming off. For areas along the hairline where hair tends to stick, lightly dust with a translucent powder to reduce the stickiness.

But I still want that glow...!!!!!!! I saw a balm type came out and tried it, and now I find myself reaching for this more than my lipstick....^^ It has moisturizing effects too, so it seems great for those with extremely dry skin ㅎㅎ If you apply it on the cheekbones before foundation, it gives a seamless, adhered look... I was worried it might not suit my bare skin since it has pearls, but even just on top of sunscreen, it creates a super glowy skin look ㅎㅎㅎ If you love that glow, you should definitely get this.
ConsHmm... They advertised that you have to buy the dedicated brush, but the brush is super expensive... It'd be around 30,000 won, but it's over 50,000... My fingers are the best.
TipIt's not very hygienic to directly apply the balm on your face, so you should melt it on the back of your hand and then apply it! But... as you use it, the hygiene and all that kind of goes out the window, because the pearl-packed, glow-packed balm is just too good, and I end up just slathering it all over my face ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
