Etude House Secret Beam Highlighter Review
00:21:00
Back with another blogpost on a product as seen above which is about to be emptied. Bought this last year and had been using it the most. As you can see, I'm hitting the pan soon and this is how much I love this highlighter! Sorry the holographic words are gone, I left it sitting in my make up pouch everyday and it was just gone one day. Aww.
What is it:
This 6-colored all-over baked shimmer powder in pearly white tone instantly enhances the complexion with a soft, youthful luminosity.
Directions:
Apply around brow and cheek bones and along bridge of nose to contour the most flattering angles of the face.

GREEN- Acne Triggers Ingredients
There are 2 shades available, I picked the PinkxWhite. I preferred the color combination of this shade better too.
It's slightly chalky but I am not bothered by it. Just brush your brushes on the pact and it would pick up a light layer just enough to spread around to highlight. Try not to layer on a thick layer, if not it might look cakey.
Isn't the color combination pretty? I always think that this is a dupe for Guerlain Meterorites Compact Powder because of the resemblance of the tessellated shades. Plus this one only cost less than 20bucks which is wallet friendly. Pretty and affordable man!
The pay off is good too - for me. The shimmer isn't exaggerating. Plus it brightens my T zone areas very well too.
Does it does what it claims?
Claim 1: This 6-colored all-over baked shimmer powder in pearly white tone instantly enhances the complexion with a soft, youthful luminosity.
Yes it does, I like how it enhances my cheekbones and T zones. But applying too much of this may result in a cakey look.
