I'm so satisfied with how it can be gently patted on after completing makeup, providing a clear and dewy Inner Glow effect instead of a highlighter. Rather than looking oily, it gives a healthy sheen that makes the skin appear more vibrant. It's also great for dry skin, so you can layer it over makeup without worry. The glow isn't excessive, but naturally expressed, making it perfect for frequent use throughout the day.
ConsHowever, when applying over makeup, it's better to take a small amount on the back of your hand or fingertip and dab it onto your face, rather than directly rolling the stick over your skin.

It brings life to my face, giving me a healthy complexion during these dry days - I find myself reaching for this more often than my blush! It's so convenient to carry around. Even though the staying power isn't the strongest, it only takes 3 seconds to touch up, which is fantastic. The second photo shows the color payoff, while the third shows how it looks when gently blended and fully absorbed. It doesn't completely disappear but maintains a subtle shimmer that only catches the light beautifully.
ConsThere's a slight tendency for pilling, but gently patting it helps it settle back into place!
TipI recommend using this more for facial contouring rather than applying it on the nose or under the eyes.

It gives a natural look without that 'cyborg' effect. The subtle color payoff is really appealing.
ConsWhen using the stick, it can slightly disturb the base makeup underneath, so you need to blend gently. It may require an extra touch-up and some additional blending.
TipFor best results, try applying it by dabbing a small amount with your fingertip and gently blending. This technique creates a natural glow without looking too artificial!

When my skin feels dry at the office, I can quickly apply this and pat on some cushion foundation for instant hydration. It also gives my face a nice glow, which I really like.
ConsThe downside is that if you apply it directly over makeup in long strokes, it can cause your makeup to break down. When using it over makeup, it's better to pat it on gently with your fingers to minimize disruption to your existing look.

If you love a natural makeup look, you must try the Hince Radiance Balm. It addresses that inexplicable disappointment (dryness? heaviness?) often felt with powder highlighters, offering instead a dewy and natural glow. The difference between using it and not is subtly noticeable, which I find incredibly satisfying. Personally, I recommend applying it over a matte base rather than a glowy one for best results.
ConsAvoid swiping the stick directly on your face as it may clump slightly. Instead, warm the product on your fingertips and gently pat it onto your skin.
TipWhile I know Clear is typically the popular choice, the Hince Radiance Balm in Light has a beige undertone and stronger pearl finish compared to Clear. I personally prefer Light with its beige base. It might be worth comparing Clear and Light to see which suits you best!

My skin is super sensitive and prone to blemishes. The Hwahae Testers, this product works wonders for my sensitive combination skin without causing any blemishes! That's the most crucial factor for me. It's perfect for achieving that glossy skin look. If applied correctly, you can achieve a translucent complexion. It suits both cool and warm undertones. I love that the micro-pearls don't particularly favor any specific skin tone. While powder highlighters can make the skin look cakey, this product makes your skin look naturally beautiful. It gives a shimmering glow. The pearls are so fine, making it look very natural! It's perfect as a highlighter for the nose bridge and cheekbones. The clean white design makes my makeup pouch feel brighter. It's a two-in-one product offering both hydration and highlighting benefits.
ConsIt works best with a semi-matte foundation before powder application. If used after powder, it may cause pilling. While it didn't cause any blemishes, I felt a slight tingling sensation when worn for extended periods. The balm-like texture leaves a slightly sticky finish, which is a bit disappointing. Without powder, your hair might stick to it on a windy day. I'd recommend this for dry skin types, as it might make extremely oily skin look overly greasy!
TipPro tips! Apply a light dusting of translucent powder after application to prevent hair from sticking and for a better finish. Just lightly pat on the powder. On light makeup days, apply a small amount to your nose bridge, center of the forehead, cheekbones, and cupid's bow for a subtle moisturizing and highlighting effect!

Natural glow: It's not overly white or shimmery, making it perfect for everyday use. It gives you that healthy, natural-looking skin. Highly recommend for those wanting a subtle, sophisticated glow! Not drying: With the chilly weather and winter approaching, powder highlighters can sometimes look patchy and dry. This product doesn't dry out your skin, so even those with dry skin can use it worry-free. Beautiful color: It's not too white or too pink, but a shade that blends seamlessly with your skin. This allows for effortless application and creates a truly beautiful glow!
ConsWhen touching your face, some shimmer transfers to your hands, which is a bit disappointing. Applying the stick directly to your face can cause your makeup to smudge, so you need to use a puff or your hands. This can be inconvenient when you're in a hurry. The staying power isn't as long-lasting as I had hoped.
TipInstead of applying the stick directly to your face, use a tool or your hands to blend it out. This prevents smudging your makeup and gives a better result. If you don't want to use tools or your hands, try gently tapping the highlighter onto the areas where you want it!

I was in a great mood when I started using it. First off, I'm satisfied that it didn't cause any blemishes on my sensitive skin. As someone with dry skin, my makeup often looks parched no matter how much I moisturize. But with this product, my skin had a lovely glow that made it look healthy - another win! The image was taken in natural light, and you can see how it gives my fair skin a beautiful, natural shimmer effect. I was worried the gold shimmer might not suit my cool undertone, but it looks gorgeous on cool tones and even better on warm tones! I highly recommend everyone try this product as the final step in their makeup routine!
ConsI haven't really found any downsides yet... But if I had to nitpick, I'd say that for makeup beginners like me, it might take some time to master the technique for applying this product beautifully. I apply it with my fingers, and if I'm not careful with the pressure, it can cause my base makeup to come off.
TipApply it to your C-zone, the tip of your nose, and your chin - it looks absolutely stunning! For the C-zone, try applying a shimmery blush first, then layer this product on top... it's breathtaking! Your skin will sparkle beautifully in both natural light and artificial lighting. It's truly gorgeous!

Due to its unique formula, it doesn't dry out the skin. The stick format makes it convenient to use.
ConsHonestly, I don't think it's suitable as a highlighter. It's more like a glossy multi-balm. Highlighters are typically used on the T-zone, cheekbones, and inner corners of the eyes, but this balm-type product easily rubs off and looks greasy on the T-zone and inner corners. It also makes your hair stick to your face. It's disappointing that they're advertising it as a highlighter.

My dry skin can't handle powder products at all, so I was excited to try this balm formula that promised a moisturizing finish. The Light shade has a beautiful glow with its white base and subtle shimmer, making it versatile enough to use anywhere on the face. I was pleasantly surprised by how soft the balm texture is - it's not too melty or overly rich. The smooth consistency made it incredibly easy to apply with my fingers and layer over my base makeup. While it may look intense in swatches, it blends out beautifully for a subtle radiance that's not at all excessive on top of a dewy base. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who loves a translucent, hydrated skin look or enjoys a bit of sparkle!
ConsI'm not sure about the longevity, but it's so convenient to carry and generously sized that touch-ups are a breeze!
TipPro tip: Instead of applying the balm directly, try tapping it on with your fingertips after warming it up on the back of your hand. While it's not specifically a moisturizing product, I found it helpful for smoothing over dry, flaky areas on my cheeks in the afternoon without disturbing my makeup underneath.
