High Beam

Highlighters are great, so don't just save them for special occasions; use them everyday for that wide-awake glow.

So, for today's reader review, we're looking at Benefit Cosmetics high beam ($24), a brightening complexion enhancer. Reader A Million Suns is loving this product, calling it an ethereal glow in a bottle. Here's what she had to say:

"Just a few dots of this on my brow bones, inner corners of my eyes, and cheekbones made instantly makes me look fresher and gives me that ethereal glow. Plus it lasts forever because you don't need to use much of it each time."

I love me some Benefit High Beam, and Spring is the season for highlighters. So thank you, SheFinds, for telling me about this great offer at Benefit Cosmetics!

Right now, the site is offering a free bottle of its beloved High Beam pink highlighter with any purchase of $30 or more — and you know I won't have any problem spending $30 at Benefit. To redeem the free gift, simply enter the promo code "HIGHBEAM" when you check out. I'm not sure how long the promotion lasts, though, so you might want to pounce now.

Ever wonder how celebrities all get that healthy, radiant glow? Most likely, it's because their makeup artist is using a face illuminator, like Benefit's High Beam and Moon Beam complexion highlighters. These products can be used as spot enhancers or blended all over your face for a glowing, sexy look. High Beam is a satiny pink shine, while women with olive or tan skin tones should opt for Moon Beam, which gives skin a more natural, golden-pink glow. Both cost $22 and are available here and here.
