    Benefit Highbeam/Sunbeam
    Has anyone on here any experience with either of these products.

    I'm really tempted but I don't know which one to get and whether it's worth it as it is quite expensive.

    Any advice?

    I have Moonbeam, Highbeam AND Sunbeam!

    It depends on your skin tone and the look you want to achieve

    Moonbeam- neutral or all skin tones
    - gives a silvery glow, perfect for with metallic makeup, smokey eyes or any look which pronounces the eyes.

    Highbeam- again works with all skin tones but perfect for pink toned skin (if you blush easily!)
    -this works for the natural, no makeup look or even just a day to day makeup look. I use this when my makeup is soft and blended.

    Sunbeam- works best with warm, yellow toned or slightly tanned skin tones
    -I am very pale so unless I use bronzer, this looks very artificial on me
    -this works best for your kinda sunkissed look, it gives you a very healthy, outdoorsy, just back from holidays look!


    All of them can be applied in the same way. The bottle gives some instructions but I usually stroke the brush right underneath my eyebrow to open up my eye, apply 3 dots on my cheekbones and blend and then two dots on my nose to slim it. You can also put it on your jaw line or down the sides of your face to slim and define it hope this helps!

    I have Highbeam! An amazing product and perfect for the summer! I apply on the tops of my cheeks and it really brightens my face up, definitely worth the money

    before you fork out on one of them, i'd recommend getting mememe's version of sunbeam and moonbeam to see what colours you want best or if you can just make do with them
    cheap as chips and available in superdrug
    they're such great dupes
