This is a great highlighter if you are looking for something a little more natural that you can wear everyday. You can also build it up for a more noticeable glow. I enjoy the baked formula. It...

Beautiful highlighter - a subtle, nude shimmer with good texture at a great price. Fairly easy to blend and lasts for several hours. However, it breaks me out. My skin breaks out pretty easily so...
