Natural highlighter.
Highlighter that can be used for uneven skin.

Until recently, I really liked the Laura highlighter the most because it was so natural and had a beautiful glow, but the Hourglass is a little more natural and the Incandescent has a brighter color, so I like it even more.
(Hourglass, Laura, and Guerlain are still the Top 3)

Of course, if you apply too much, the unevenness of the skin (large pores on the nose) will be emphasized, but if you apply it subtly, it's fine.
Since I only use a small amount, it seems like it will last a long time, but it's a product I want to use forever, so I hope it doesn't get discontinued!

앰비언트 스트롭 파우더 [인캔디센트]

It doesn't really give a highlighter effect because it's too beautiful. The Laura Mercier one feels more luxurious..

The color payoff is very rich and smooth. It has the signature luminosity of the baked type.

The only downside was that it looked a bit too natural.
I would recommend this to those who love natural-looking makeup.
It's not an intense highlighter.

This highlighter provides a very natural glow, and the high price is worth the cost.

 At the department store's culture center, they had invited a very famous makeup artist to teach a one-day makeup class. I was very lucky to be selected to attend.

The makeup artist taught us how to use #iridescent products, which I had rarely used before because they were too dark and obvious on my skin.

For this type of subtle highlighter that doesn't show up much, the artist recommended using it more like a powder - roll it onto the cheeks and forehead with a medium powder brush, rather than just applying it as a spot highlighter.

Then, she said it's good to layer a more intense highlighter like Oprah or Dior on top of the subtle base. 

After trying this method, I found that the finely-milled texture creates a very soft, luminous glow without looking overdone. It's a bit difficult to pull off in the hot summer, but it's a great look for cooler weather.

This way, you can get a refined, glowing skin effect without needing to buy expensive pearl powders. It also works well with a matte foundation, providing more of a high-end highlighted look than just spot highlighting.

And of course, you can repurpose products you already have at home.

 1. The longevity is not as good as highlighters like Ofra or Dior.
However, I'm not the type to meticulously apply it while carrying it around. ㅎㅎ I feel like the price-to-performance ratio is a bit lacking.

2. So personally, I really like this highlighter because it looks so natural... but I once recommended it to an acquaintance and got an earful of abuse. So I'm a bit cautious about recommending it, and with the longevity issue as well... it just makes me a bit hesitant.

3. The price tends to fluctuate a bit.
I bought this when it wasn't very well-known on the website. 
So I got it together with an iridescent one, which made it a bit cheaper.
Nowadays, the price difference isn't as big.
Don't directly import it, though. 
My friend bought a fake one and was really upset about it. ^^

 The 13-15 Hwahae Trial Reviewer
It is more influenced by the high brightness and low saturation temperature than the Wimcool color
There is a lot of flushing on the face
Prefer pink-based

#Incandescent

1. I had a lot of trouble choosing the color, but since I have a bright complexion, I wanted to use a more natural-looking highlighting powder, and I bought this based on a recommendation.

There are Glint, Ofra, and Dior, but they all show a lot of highlighting, so I needed something I could use comfortably on a daily basis.

If you need something like that, and you have a bright, cool-toned skin, you'll likely be satisfied with this product.

Of course, if you like a bold, shiny highlight, then no! You might be very disappointed and it might not be your cup of tea.

2. It's a common highlighting color with a white base, a slight pink pearl, and a touch of opal pearl, but the color itself is quite subtle, so you might think there's no base color.

When you apply it to the bridge of your nose, it's a highlighter that doesn't really show whether you're wearing a highlight or just a glowy makeup.

However, in photos, the shading stands out quite well. It just makes you look so much prettier when you put something on.

3. I'm using it daily very well, and the volume is huge, and the case is quite sturdy, so I'm very happy with it.

4. If you want a subtle highlighter, I strongly recommend this.
If you want something more noticeable, I'd recommend Ofra, Glint, or Colorgram sold at Olive Young.

5. I really love a lot of highlighters, but the strange thing is that on the days when I feel like I need to do a "sophisticated" makeup, I end up using this.
That's how much of a daily, reliable highlighter this is for me. That's why I really love it.

If you gently sweep it with a brush during the powder stage, you can achieve a vaseline-like glowy skin.

However, if you apply this highlighter thickly multiple times, the skin can look heavy and unattractive.
And it shows up quite strongly, so I don't recommend this to those who love highlighters.

I was really satisfied because I wanted a natural color payoff.
The subtle and fine white pearl blended well with cool-toned skin.
I didn't feel any dryness, and the lack of powder fallout was also good.

You can purchase it much cheaper if you buy it on Meilishuo

The price...is expensive, but I can't stop using Hourglass ㅠ ㅠ
There's nothing else

It has a natural and luxurious glow
It feels too good to use daily
It looks like it's been highlighted, but yes, it is applied
If you go out as is, you'll look so pretty outside ㅋㅋ
If you like the look of highlighted skin, don't buy this - it doesn't show at all ㅎ

The package design with the mirrored surface is a bit disappointing.
Still, it's somewhat pretty.

This seems to be worth the money.
The texture is definitely fine and the color payoff is incredibly natural.
Among the beige shades, this one feels like the top pick.

It's so natural-looking that it's almost like a finishing powder. But since it has some shimmer, it's a bit ambiguous to use as a finishing powder.

I was looking for a natural-looking highlighter and decided to try one. It's really natural-looking, so those who want a natural highlighter will be satisfied, even beginners.

The price is.. quite expensive, but it's worth it because it's so pretty.. It's really beautiful.

The subtle high-end glow is definitely possible.
There were many reviews saying that it doesn't show, but on my face, the applied glow was immediately visible, yet not overly so - just a nice, subtle high-end glow.
Even as a sensitive person, I didn't experience any breakouts when using it, and I'm very satisfied with it.

If you want a highlighter that gives a vibrant shine, this is not recommended.
It has a somewhat heavy, dull feeling to it.

This highlighter brings out a subtle glow.
The biggest advantage is that it can be used not only as a highlighter, but also as a finishing powder.
