The color builds up gradually, becoming more noticeable as you layer it. I think it would be perfect for highlighting cheekbones and the bridge of the nose. The color payoff is beautiful, so those who love pink highlighters will likely be satisfied. As someone who considers highlighter essential, this is my first time trying a balm highlighter, and I think it'll be very useful. It's great for adding emphasis even on days when you're not wearing heavy makeup. It's not invisible by any means, though. I didn't experience any blemishes or incompatibility with my skin! The more I use it, the more I appreciate its non-drying, hydrating formula. Since it's not a powder, it doesn't crumble or scatter messily. It works perfectly with the included puff. For me, who likes to highlight various areas of my face beyond just the usual spots, this is more convenient and easier to use than powder types. Plus, there's no worry about it breaking when carrying it around.
ConsIt might be a bit challenging to apply precisely on areas like the bridge of the nose or the inner corners of the eyes. Those who are particular about their base makeup should be careful not to over-apply when trying to build up the color, as it might lift the foundation. I recommend using it with the puff for best results.

For lips, base makeup, and highlighters, I always go for glossy or slightly shimmery products to bring life to my face. Fortunately (or unfortunately), I have dry skin, so I can freely use glossy products to my heart's content. In that context, I found this highlighter to be absolutely perfect for me. Its balm-like texture is soft and moisturizing, with just the right amount of pearl, making it truly ideal. It looks natural and not overdone on bare skin, and when applied over makeup, it adds just the right amount of accent. It works great as a highlighter and also as a subtle eye accent on the lids. Personally, I loved the color payoff when I gently melted it with my fingers, applied it where I wanted, and then lightly patted it with a puff. The stick format allows for hygienic application. You can use just the exposed part by twisting it up, then twist it back down. This keeps it clean and prevents any product from getting on the cap when you open and close it. It's also easy to wipe clean occasionally. And the packaging... I absolutely adored it! You can tell whether it's a cool or warm-toned product just by looking at the exterior! As someone with a cool skin tone who prefers cool-toned makeup, I appreciated this. It would be perfect for those with neutral tones or those who like to switch between warm and cool depending on their mood. The 'Gleaming' shade I tried is recommended for cool tones, and you can see in the photos that the part wrapping the product is silver. For warm-toned shades, this part is gold. Such attention to detail... I was truly impressed!
ConsBecause it's a stick format, if you apply it directly to your face after your base makeup, it can cause your foundation to pill or move. I recommend applying it with a puff or your fingers instead of directly from the stick.

Color/Pearl: The glow is natural, and the shimmer is more subtle than expected, so it's not overwhelming! There's a slight lavender tint that makes it even prettier. Convenience: I often forget the highlighter step when I'm in a rush, but with this radiance balm, I can just swipe it on and go - it's so easy!
ConsI keep applying it directly to my face out of laziness, which doesn't feel very hygienic.
TipIt melts slightly when you rub it with your fingers, allowing you to pat it onto desired areas for a clean application. Instead of smearing it directly on your face like I did, try applying it by gently patting with your fingers or a puff!

Here's what I like: 1. Application: It glides on softly with its balm-like texture! Just be aware it might cause some pilling with your base makeup. It works great when lightly applied over areas with thin foundation, but for areas with more coverage, use the included mini puff for a prettier application to avoid pilling. 2. Texture: While the balm texture might feel a bit rich to some, I found it pleasantly hydrating, especially in winter. The balm formula also gives it a bit more of a glow! 3. Scent: It's fragrance-free, which I appreciated. Personally, I'm not a fan of overly scented cosmetics.
ConsThe balm texture can potentially cause pilling when layered over foundation, which is a bit of a downside in terms of application. However, considering the convenience of the balm format, I think this is a manageable issue.
TipAfter applying the highlighter, blend out the edges with the included mini puff for a more seamless look. Color-wise, I'd especially recommend this for those with cool undertones!

I find myself using it often. One day, after applying this, a friend asked what I was wearing because my skin looked so good. I immediately recommended it! It's not overly dewy, so it doesn't look excessive on the skin. The application is incredibly smooth and pleasant. The subtle shimmer and dewy finish are the key points, so I think it looks best when you apply just the right amount to those areas. It doesn't make you look greasy, but rather gives a soft, radiant glow. As it's getting drier, I think I'll use this well even in winter because it's so hydrating. I definitely plan to repurchase. I'm going to buy the blusher line to mix and use together! For first-timers, I recommend the 'Gleaming' shade.
ConsI wish the color indication on the container was a bit clearer. If you have multiple, it might be confusing when using them. Other than that, the design is clean and it's super convenient to carry around. It's a must-have for travel!
TipI recommend using a puff rather than directly rubbing the stick on your skin (to prevent makeup from pilling).

And the puff applicator? Absolutely adorable! When I swatched it on my hand, I didn't notice the purple tint I expected, just a subtle shimmer. In the photo, I've layered it on quite a bit, and I was worried it might look too artificial with its white cast. But here's where the magic happens: after finishing my base makeup, I lightly dabbed it on the tip of my nose with the puff. Suddenly, it's like I've got that true opal effect - like little pearls giving my face dimension. I usually keep my makeup simple, but I tried a touch on my Cupid's bow and chin, and wow! It subtly elevated my whole look in this intriguing, natural way. I was hesitant to try it on my cheekbones, fearing it might be too much, but trust me - give it a go. It doesn't make your cheekbones look overly pronounced; instead, it makes your skin texture look beautiful. Compared to powder or compact highlighters, this is so much easier to use. Even if you're not great at makeup like me, you can just dab a little with that cute puff. I can see myself using this consistently without skipping a day.
ConsThe only downside is that because it's a balm texture, if you apply it carelessly over powdered areas, it might look unnatural or cause pilling.
TipIt works great when applied directly on skin that only has sunscreen on it.

Subtle radiance The delicate glitter creates just the right amount of glow on the skin. I was worried the lavender tint might be too much for my pale complexion (which lacks redness except for seasonal cheek flushing), but it actually gives a subtle, flattering radiance that I love. 2. Smooth application I was concerned about pilling when applying, but it glides on smoothly, likely due to its moisturizing winter formula. However, direct application might cause some buildup in overlapping areas. The included puff works perfectly - it helps distribute the product evenly with good adherence, lasting all day. 3. Comfortable wear As someone who dislikes heavy products, I appreciate its lightweight texture that feels comfortable on the skin. Among similar balm-type products I've tried, this has the most pleasant feel. It blends seamlessly with my regular foundation.
ConsAs a spring light tone, I noticed the reddish hues were more prominent on my skin. I found it worked better on my cheekbones and brow bone rather than the bridge of my nose as I'd initially planned. However, this is more of a personal preference than a flaw - I'm generally pleased with it. It actually blends more naturally on the cheeks compared to other highlighters. Just keep in mind if you're specifically looking for a nose bridge highlighter, you might want to consider this factor.
TipFor best results, slightly warm the top layer with your body heat, then gently pat it onto your skin using the puff!

The pink-tinted subtle pearls shimmer beautifully with every movement!!! It's not an overpowering white pearl, but just the right amount of subtle radiance. Plus, the stick format makes it super convenient to carry around. Next time, I might try a product with more color. I'm absolutely thrilled with this stick!
ConsThere are no downsides!! Truly none... It's just good. The only 'worry' is that it might wear down quickly if I use it too much... That's how much I love it!
TipAt first, I was surprised when I applied only a small amount and it wasn't very noticeable. But after layering it a few times and gently patting it with the cute mini puff, a subtle glow appears! Even if you apply more than expected, it doesn't become excessive, so feel free to layer it multiple times.

As someone with cool-toned skin who loves this color, I was excited even before trying it. I usually go for light, natural makeup, and I can feel my face brighten up with just this Hince stick alone. The soft lavender color isn't too intense, and it has a subtle shimmer that creates a natural highlight even without using a puff. I have super sensitive skin, but I haven't experienced any redness or blemishes. It's easy to apply - you just need to twist it up and apply, without touching it directly with dusty fingers. Its compact size also makes it perfect as a portable option.
ConsWhile I don't have any complaints about the product itself, since I prefer light makeup, I'd love to learn more about different techniques for using stick products in my makeup routine.
TipWhen you're wearing bold eye makeup, try using this stick as a lip color over some lip balm - it works wonderfully! I have a lip product that's a similar lavender shade to this stick, and when I mix them together, the subtle shimmer adds a beautiful dimension to the color.

It's inspired by the shimmer of seashells, resulting in a radiant lavender hue. Texture and Application: It's a stick-type balm formula containing fine pearls. When applied directly to the skin, it caused no irritation and created a luminous, subtle glow. The bottom twists to raise the product, and reverses to retract it, allowing for hygienic use of just the amount you need. Versatile Uses: When mixed with my usual pink cream blush, it creates a beautifully unique lavender tone! Given its pearlescent color, I also lightly apply it on my eyelids. On makeup-free days, I mix a bit with my sunscreen and apply it to my C-zone for a natural glow.
ConsThe application technique can be a bit tricky. If you apply too much pressure when swiping it across your C-zone (bridge of nose, upper cheekbones), forehead, and other typical highlight areas, it can remove the base makeup underneath. To avoid this, the easiest method is to warm the product slightly with your fingertips, then gently pat it onto desired areas or apply with a mini puff.
