It's also a convenient size to carry around.
ConsIt's too greasy. While it's meant to provide a natural, dewy finish, it can end up looking oily instead. When using powder in the final step, it tends to clump up a lot. Even after using powder, the clumping is still noticeable, especially in the pore area.
TipIt's like using a heavy, petroleum-based product like Vaseline. It might work for lip care, but for creating a facial glow, it's too prone to caking up.

Ingredients: Among the stick highlighters or radiant products, could the ingredients be any cleaner than this one?! The ingredients are completely satisfactory. 2. Spreadability: It has a similar smooth, melting application feel to oil balms or multi-balms. I was worried that the visible micro-pearls might feel gritty, but that was just my concern - it melts away smoothly like butter, and the pearls don't feel rough or scratchy at all. 3. Moisturizing: It can feel slightly heavy when applied directly to the face, but when spread thinly, it helps manage any flakiness caused by blemishes.
Cons1. Minimal volumizing as a highlighter: The highlighting effect of this product seems no different from melting an oil balm or multi-balm with your fingertips and dabbing it on the forehead or nose bridge. The micro-pearls are also barely visible on the skin. 2. When dotting it on top of makeup, the makeup starts to peel off, and when using it as a hydrating radiance primer, there is a slight cakiness... Please refer to the photos I've attached! Oh, my face skin is quite distorted, so please note that I took the photos by generously applying the cream on the back of my hand. - Photo 1: I squeezed out a small amount of the dewy foundation (Clio Kill Cover Glow Foundation 2.5 Ivory) on the left and the matte foundation (Etude Double Lasting Natural Vanilla N03) on the right. The dewy one feels slightly lifted on my relatively pink-based warm skin. - Photo 2: I patted it out as much as possible to avoid creasing on my hand. Even though the dewy foundation has an inherent glow, it doesn't cover the unevenness as well as the matte foundation, but it still applied smoothly. - Photo 3: After both sides dried, I lightly tapped the Radiance Balm on top. The matte foundation peeled off quite a bit, and I tried to fix it with my fingers. The dewy foundation also shifted a bit, but it was relatively okay. - Photo 4: I tried to use the Radiance Balm like a primer, spreading it on my hand and then dotting the foundation on top. - Photo 5: (Please note that the previous photo of me patting it on is missing, as there are only 6 photos.) The dewy foundation stuck nicely and plumply to the skin thanks to the balm, but the matte foundation kept getting wiped off the more I patted it. 3. (Refer to Photo 6) It may be an issue specific to the product I received, but there seems to be some metal piece inside the balm that keeps rising up as I use it, making it impossible to dab the balm directly on the skin. I'll just have to melt it with my fingers to use it.
TipIt seems this product is better suited as a beauty balm to soothe the skin during winter or when dealing with flakiness, rather than a highlighter. The good ingredients make me think it could be a handy item to have around this winter as an emergency product. When it comes to foundation compatibility, I think it could work well as a radiance primer applied lightly on the nose bridge or center of the forehead, and then carefully applying foundation on top. (Since I don't have bangs, this might be more feasible for me.) Regardless of how it's used, it seems to blend more naturally and peel off less when paired with a glowy foundation/cushion rather than a matte one. So in the current COVID situation, it's a bit of an awkward product. Overall, I would recommend this more as a winter beauty balm rather than a highlighter function.

It didn't feel sticky or tacky after application.👍 •Longevity: As time passed, the oil came through, and the sheen was maintained. It didn't feel excessively oily or greasy on my oily skin type.👍 (However, when I tested it on my hand, the initial sheen was strong but faded over time, becoming less noticeable.) •Wearing it on bare skin: It looks natural and makes the skin appear smooth, but since I have an oily skin type, the sheen wasn't very prominent on my bare face. If you want to wear it on bare skin, I'd recommend it for dry skin types. •Wearing it over makeup: When applied over my base makeup, the sheen was more visible, and my skin looked great.👍 I really liked it.
ConsSince I have problematic skin, I applied a lot to cover it, but it ended up looking slightly cakey when I layered it on top.ㅠ
TipI think it's best to use a concealer to lightly cover the skin and then apply this.👍

However, applying it over foundation can be a bit tricky - it may start to look a bit cakey.
ConsApplying a dewy foundation on top of makeup can help mitigate the issue a bit, but these days, with the current situation, most foundations tend to be semi-matte. Putting this on top of that can cause it to cake, flake, and look uneven.

I purchased this to use as a highlighter. ✔️Packaging: Hince seems to really excel at package design. The design is beautiful!! ✔️Color: I debated between getting the light and clear versions, and ultimately went with the clear. The light version has pearls in it, and I was worried it might be too shimmery, so I chose the subtly luminous clear. I tested it out in the Hince store before purchasing. Overall, it has a soft glow and shimmer. ✔️Texture: However, it is a bit too sticky for my liking...
ConsOh, how do you all use this? I bought it to use as a highlighter, and after applying my foundation or cushion, it peels them off...I'm so disappointed. After applying, there's also a caking effect where the foundation gets clumpy in certain areas...so I barely use it...ㅠ In the winter when it's really dry...I sometimes mix it with a powder blush, but it's still quite unsatisfactory.. I've been using it as a lip balm. Rather than feeling moisturized, it just leaves an oily film on my lips...ㅠ I really love Hince's aesthetic, but this product has become quite disappointing for me.

I used to use a pressed (?) powder-type highlighter, if you will, but my skin texture wasn't great, and when I applied it to my face, the pearl particles were too large, making my skin look worse and drier. This one, however, has no pearls and has a moisturizing balm (stick)-like feel? It really looks like I just have a natural radiant glow on the areas I applied it. There are also many other colors, so I think it can be used as a blush substitute as well.
ConsI will make the correction. The downside is that if you apply it on top of your foundation, the foundation can peel off. In that case, it's better to apply it with your fingers and rub it in, but even then, over time, that area can look messy and clumped up... It's also not quite suitable to use as a lip balm, and I'm not sure how best to use it.
