Melissa Says: I wasn't expecting what I found in this product at all. A highlighter? Okay, I've seen those before; they're often hit-or-miss, and rarely become makeup staples for me. However, this isn't what I would typically consider a 'highlighter' like most others. Instead of adding sheen or a silvery luminosity, it actually works more like a concealer.

Let me clarify that last statement: It works like one of the most fabulous concealers I've ever tried.

On the undereye area, this sits beautifully atop skin, brightening and lightening without settling into teeny-tiny lines at all, and it lasts all day. It keeps that delicate area hydrated without looking oily, and works WONDERS on my undereye dark areas (this in itself is somewhat miraculous). It also beautifully brightens the areas between the eyes, on the brow bones...everywhere.

I tried it a little as a lip primer and was pleased with that as well, but I don't believe that will be my primary use of this great little tube. I can't believe it, but I've found a new favorite undereye beautifier!

(p.s. - I tested this in Medium.)

How do you know which color to choose? They offer no guidance on the website. Would love to try but need to know the color options!

on the site there are three options (light, medium, and dark). i forgot to add this earlier (but since added it to my review), but i was testing medium. for me, this was perfect for lightening a bit and provided good coverage as a concealer, and i'm fair/medium skin tone with yellow undertones. i would think many would use medium, with the fairest-skinned using light and those with darker or olive tones would utilize dark.

thank you for asking about that!
