For me is not working good. Not easy to apply with some foundations, and needs be smudged well, with precision - applied in rush often leaves irregular patches...for me is hard to control..
I love VIVO Baked bronze - healthy glow. gives perfect shine, easy to apply.. you can't go wrong with it even when you are rushing.

May actually try mixing High Beam with a cream foundation to see if this might be another useful scenario, albeit since it only comes in one hue/chroma (ethereal pink) it is rather limited... TEMPTU S/B Highlighters come in eight tints i.e. hue/chroma (050 to 057) thus offer far more latitude/diversity of creativity. And with airbrush it is so easy to precisely control the exact coverage amount...
I've used it and it's been fine, but it's not one of my faves. I prefer Nars Copacabana Multiple, Madina Chic & Shine, MAC cream color base in Pearl, MAC pigment in Vanilla, Benefit's Watt's Up and the Ultrasheers by FA.
I know that I have used it as a highlighter in the cheekbone but I can't remember if I have any closeups in my makeup portfolio using it
I much more in love with the gold shimmer in one of my Nars palettes if I want to highlight the cheeks but I am not as experienced as the others who have posted in this forum so far but I have been dying to try the Copacabana stick
But in general I love benefit -- it takes while getting used to and a little goes a long way with the Benetint products.
I've used it and Stila's All Over Shimmer Liquid Luminizer several times in my boudoir work without issue. I really like the effect that it gives, but the lighting will make a difference in my somewhat limited experience.
It works like a charm for me. I've used other highlighters, but I seem to be always coming back to High Beam. I have Nars Copacabana (in tube), but it's just nowhere near as mildly milled and sometimes gives much more of a shine, where the Benefit just gives a glow. I will even mix the High Beam with concealer if I need a light reflective one under the eyes.

My favourite is Illamasqua Gleam which is a cream, Aurora is a lovely champagne colour and works wonderfully under and/or over oil or silicone based foundations. Although ive successfully used it over MUFE Face & Body (waterbased) just patting a little in on top with my fingers. They've just bought out a bronze version called Supernatural I think, looks lovely for dark skin.
Mac Strobe Cream is nice too, pinky shimmer, very fine.

hope this helps...
I went and purchased this today. I'm looking forward to using it. Thanks!
