  Pros

  The color is beautiful. It's moisturizing and gives a gorgeous dewy glow. Being a stick format makes it convenient to use.

  Cons

  Skip this and go for the powder version instead... No matter how you apply it, it makes your base makeup pill. You end up having to reapply and blend your base all over again. I'm not sure if it's just my lack of skill, but I really struggle to use this properly. It comes with a puff applicator, which is nice, but I personally prefer using my hands. However, even when applied by hand, it still causes the base to shift. As it melts with your body heat, it removes the foundation underneath. Everything just smudges together... It's not even particularly cheap, which makes it even more disappointing. There's clearly a reason why these products are usually made as powders... I should have been more skeptical.

  Tip

  Only suitable for those with extremely dry skin who find powder products difficult to use.

  Pros

  While designed as a face stick, this highlighter truly shines when used as a cream eyeshadow. It's absolutely stunning when applied as a focal point to specific areas, but be cautious - if you spread it too wide, it can quickly look messy. Unlike other popular pink-beam highlighters that create dimension with a pearly white base and intense pink 'beams', Milky Moon gives the impression of a transparent petroleum jelly glow with scattered pink pearls. The noticeable larger glitter particles make it less suitable for forehead, nose bridge, or chin application. It works best for creating a dewy, glass-skin effect on eyes, brow bones, and cupid's bow. I wouldn't recommend this if you're after a pearl-free sheen or a highlighter with a strong pink presence. However, if you want to add a glossy, hydrated look to your inner corners and aegyo sal without the typical pressed powder dryness, this is a must-try.

  Cons

  Surprisingly, the formula is easily smudged and has a sticky balm-like consistency. Like all stick highlighters, including high-end ones, swiping it directly will inevitably disrupt your base makeup. The real issue is that it doesn't seem to pair exceptionally well with any application method - be it puff, brush, or fingertip. Using a cushion puff makes it stick to your base makeup, applying with fingers gives a nice glow but melts the foundation due to body heat, and using a brush to pick up product and gently pat it on seems to be the best approach. It works best with a skincare-like foundation that applies thinly, almost like bare skin, as it tends to break down and mix with heavier, matte foundations over time. Another downside is its lack of staying power - it transfers easily upon contact with hands or masks. Due to its poor adherence and longevity, a setting spray is absolutely necessary if you plan to use it as a face highlighter.
