I went into Macys and gave my lil' 12 yr old sister a random makeup at the Benefit counter. She has a dark complexion - so gold colors work great with her skin tone.
 
I saw this and tried it on a whim and wow! Used it lightly on the lids and on the brow bone. Looked amazing for a natural glow and it popped.
 
Now on me, haha - its a lot like Benefit's High Brow but in a golden, shimmery type of way.
 
Highly suggested now that its summer when most (should) less makeup due to heat. Add this to your lids for some shimmer/color if on a rush. To your brow bone for a bit of definition.
 
It can work as an eyeliner as well. Most deff a staple in my MU collection!



Pros: All except for price.
Cons: Price ;(

Color: Soft Gold
 
Finish: Subtley metallic with a touch of shimmer
 
Review: I love this pencil. It is the perfect inner corner highlighter when you are using warm colors for a FOTD. It espeacially looks fantastic with green or bronzey eye make up.
 
For highlighting the inner corner, I just draw along the inner v with the pencil and then tap my finger against it to soften the line.
 
For highlighting under the brow, dot the product under your eyebrow (more heavily directly under the arch) and blend into skin with your finger.
 
Also great when your doing a green or bronzey look because you can use this to apply a pretty golden color on the lower lid area with great precision.
 
Me: NC43, GGG, Green Eyes, Jet Black Straight Hair, Combination/Sensitive Skin



Pros: Beautiful color and very versatile. Travels well and does not melt.
Cons:

i won this in a benefit giveaway. i've never heard about this before, but its won an award from allure as best highlighter, so of course i couldn't complain.
 
i gave it a try yesterday, specifically using it to make my eyes look less "hollow". i had used a few other highlighters for this purpose, but it actually brought a lot more attention to the area, even when applied sparingly, and i was sort of expecting this to do the same thing, but it didn't!
 
because the hollows of my eyes are darker and sunken in (obviously), i thought this golden shade would look too much, but it actually just "lifted" the area and basically matched my skintone somehow and you couldn't even tell i had it on, except a little sheen since it IS a highlighter.
 
where i applied it, the lighting was too good and i didn't see it in natural light, but i did check in 2 different places that usually give me different results and it looked great.
 
i think this is definitely the best highlighter i've found so far for the hollow eyes purpose. i also love the fact it's in pencil form, which i've always been a little afraid of, because it gives me more control over the application. i dot it on and then blend/tap lighting with my finger and it's all done.
 
if i use this up, i'll definitely buy it! i'm glad i won it or else i would've never considered trying this. 
 
 



Pros: shade, widely available, packaging, a little goes a long way
Cons: price
