“I don't care much about packaging or having a mirror in the compact, but the compact itself is pretty posh. If you had this highlighter in your hand, you would feel the Dior starshine ✨️”
Popular Highlighter Makeup
“This is a nice highlighter for a very subtle and natural glow. Since it's lightly dewy and not at all glittery or shimmery, it's actually great for that trending cloud skin look”
Body Highlighter
“To me, this is more of a slightly luminous base than a standalone highlighter. It doesn't have the shining quality I prefer in my highlighters, as even when I apply it on top of my makeup, it gives a barely there sheen”
