The staying power isn't bad either. Rather than applying it over powder blush, it looks prettier when customized as a liquid blush by mixing it with your lip and cheek tint. Unlike multi-balms, it's not heavy and I love how it just adds a light glow.
ConsThere weren't any particular downsides, but due to its texture, it's not completely free from disturbing your base makeup. However, this seems unavoidable, so you'll need to accept it when applying.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis review is based on my experience after receiving the product for free as a Hwahae Tester! - Sleek design - Perfect for light application as skin starts to dry out with the cool autumn winds - Fragrance-free, so it's comfortable to apply - Better ingredients compared to traditional balms - Creates a natural glow. Would've been a star product if not for masks - Photographs beautifully with a lovely glow (photo attached_default camera) - Absorbs more naturally over time, which is better than initial application
Cons- Feels like expensive Vaseline - Easy to apply, but limits makeup options. Would be more versatile in a squeeze tube format - When only applying the balm, scars and blemishes become more noticeable >> Recommend lightly spreading on protruding areas rather than all-over application - Makeup transfers onto the product when applied after - Not recommended for oily skin
Tip- For bare face, lightly apply on protruding areas like forehead, cheekbones, and nose bridge, then add subtle contouring and a light lip color - Pilling occurs if applied over makeup. If you prefer light makeup, apply the balm first, then foundation. Alternatively, mix with foundation on the back of your hand, or layer foundation-balm and blend with a sponge for a natural finish - Might give arms and legs a firm appearance if applied in summer

My first impression was, 'Wow, it's not as sticky as I thought!' I've always avoided using other balm-type highlighters due to their characteristic sticky feel, but the Hince Radiance Balm felt much lighter compared to other products. I was able to use it comfortably without any heavy or sticky sensation on my skin. We all have that secret desire for dewy skin with a beautiful glow, right? This product is perfect for achieving that luxurious and pretty radiance! It makes your skin look healthy, vibrant, and sophisticated. The application is incredibly smooth, and thanks to its lightweight texture, it's so easy to apply with just a few swipes. You don't need any special skills or complicated techniques to use this product, making it accessible for anyone. The formula, application, skin appearance, and ingredients are all fantastic!
ConsSince we're constantly wearing masks these days, it does tend to leave mask imprints. Those with oily skin might find it a bit rich. When applied to areas with skin texture or small blemishes, it might accentuate them slightly.
TipWhen applying as the final step of your makeup routine, avoid swiping the stick directly on your face as it may cause pilling. Instead, warm the product on your hands and gently pat it onto your skin for better results with less pilling. If you're not fond of using it as a final step, you can take advantage of its easily absorbed formula by applying it to your face before foundation. Gently pat it in, then apply your foundation for a subtle Inner Glow effect. If you find that powder blush looks odd against the glowy skin, try mixing the balm with lipstick or tint for a beautiful, dewy effect that puts cream blushes to shame.

Skin type: Combination, sensitive, thin skin with slight redness and blemishes Detailed review: 1. Packaging I love that all Hince products have a clean exterior and don't look cheap. 2. Natural feel First off, the clear type has no shimmer, so it doesn't emphasize texture or pores, and there's no need to worry about blemishes. I was concerned it might be too heavy, but it's surprisingly lightweight. It's not too sticky, and it creates a natural inner glow. Definitely notice that when used after foundation, my skin feels less dry compared to when I don't use it! 3. Ingredients While it may vary for each person, according to Hwahae's information, there are no risky ingredients, which is reassuring! It's also unscented, so there's no risk from fragrance ingredients. I have sensitive skin, but I didn't experience any blemishes or reactions after using it.
Cons1. Application method Well, if you apply the product directly from the container, it can remove your makeup. You need to warm it up with your fingers and pat it onto your skin. That's a bit inconvenient. 2. Transfer issues Inevitably, when wearing a mask, more makeup transfers onto it. It also tends to stick to your hair a bit. 3. Subtle highlighting It seems a bit weak to use as a highlighter substitute. It's more of a dewy, hydrated effect?
TipIf you apply it directly from the container, there's a high chance of smudging or removing your makeup. Instead of rubbing it in, warm it up on your fingers and gently pat it onto your skin!

It's great after makeup, but I especially loved it when going foundation-free and wanted a subtle highlighting effect without using shimmer. The natural and transparent look is really nice. As someone with blemish-prone skin, I usually use matte cushions or foundations to control oil. But applying just a small amount of this on my cheekbones, nose tip, and chin gives a sufficiently dewy look that feels different and refreshing! It doesn't feel overly oily, which I appreciated. Unlike powder or shimmer highlighters that often accentuate texture and pores, this one doesn't - I'm really satisfied with that! 2) Versatile Not just for highlighting, I tried it on my lips too and the moisturizing effect lasted quite a while! Lately, it's been great for adding a dewy look to the eyes as well. 3) Comfortable There's no stickiness or tightness on the skin! I was surprised it didn't stick to my mask. Even after applying a light powder, it didn't pill! I think especially those with dry skin who find their glowy makeup drying out quickly will be really satisfied, and even combination/dehydrated skin types like me will love it!
ConsThose with oily skin might not find it necessary... That's just unavoidable, unfortunately...
TipIt didn't pill for me, but if your base makeup starts to pill, try warming it up slightly with your fingers and pat it on gently. When applying directly from the tube, the edges might be visible in certain lighting, so it's best to blend the edges with your fingers or a tool.

I highly recommend it to those who love that dewy look. The texture is surprisingly light and not overly rich. You can apply it before sunscreen, or if you have a non-white cast sunscreen that absorbs well, you can dab this on top for a natural dewy finish. It's perfect for a bare-faced look.
ConsThe staying power isn't particularly impressive. Rather than maintaining that dewy glow for long, it seems to naturally blend with your skin's oils over time. It might be too subtle for some people's liking. If you've already applied a lot of moisturizer and your face is already shiny, this product might not be noticeable when applied on top.
