Radiant Rose.

I purchased this highlighter in the shade radiant rose. When swatched it is a soft pink colour it is the prefect shade for my fair skin.

It's a twist up style pen which you click to get the product up. The only flaw with this is that if you click to much you end up with too much product. The brush wand is very flexible which makes it easy to use.

The formula is creamy and opaque but blends beautifully into my skin without creasing or emphasizing fine lines. I must stress that this is not a concealer so it won't cover imperfections. It simply helps add a subtle sheen to the chosen areas. I like to use it on my eye bags, cupid bow, cheeks & forehead etc. It very long wearing and would easily last a full hours if you prep your skin properly first (moisturiser, primer, foundation etc). Alternatively you can wear this alone for a more natural look.

I think this is a lovely highlighter even if it is a bit pricey its worth the investment.

Tips: Great as a brow highlighter too.

Covers tired eyes nicely

I have this product in “radiant rose”. I use this product just under my eyes to cover bags and highlight certain areas of my face. It is easy to apply with the brush and twisting slow release liquid.

Tips: I paint on with the brush and then use a sponge beauty blender to even it out

Great product!

I purchased the MAC Prep and Prime Highlighter pen two weeks ago and i'm so glad I did! It gives me a lovely glow that lasts all day. As a mother of two young children sometimes I can often look tired and using this pen really makes me look a lot more awake and fresh. I used to get a lot of comments from people saying that I looked tired which wasn't nice to hear but since I have started using this pen I have been given compliments about how great my skin looks :) Will definately repurchase.

Tips: I use this under my eyes, down my nose and my cupids bow. I find it blends really well with a beauty blender.

mac prep and prime highlighter pen

i love this product,it does what it is surposed to do as a highlighter,it comes as a cream that i dab under my eyes,then use my beauty blender to blend it into my skin.it highlights my under eye area beautifully,it does not sit in my fine undereye lines.its the best highlighter i have used,i also use it as a eyebrow highlight and for my cupids bow. the pen style it comes in is so easy to take out,no worrys of spilling it,

Tips: blend in with a beauty blender for flawless finish

The brighter the better !!

I have big black dark circles under my eyes (and a baby) sometimes putting concealer straight onto my undereye doesn't completely cover my circles and I still look overly tried. Dabbing a bit of this on before hand can make a massive difference to how my concealer appears. It just gives me that extra boost on those days where I need it. I every now and then use it as a highlight for my forehead and nose etc but only if I'm doing a nighttime look

Love this

I love this product. I use it under my eyes and it gives a much nicer, natural looking finish than any other concealer I have tried. It gives my face a really nice yet natural glow

Yay or Nay?

I'm still unsure about this product to be honest. I saw my friend use it and it made her skin look radiant and glowing but I find with all my freckles it gets hidden away. I absolutely love the colour and a lot goes along way I just think it doesn't stand out well on my complexion. I would defiantly try this product before buying it as it may work well for your skin tone but in saying that I think for the price you could find a cheaper alternative

Worth it?

The Mac Prep and Prime highlight penis great for highlighting under the eyes, nose and forehead. I usually wear this under my concealer as it doesn't provide much coverage. However I do think you can get a much cheaper alternative that works just as well if you are on a budget.

Favourite!

I have to admit, I'm addicted to this product!

I have this in Bright Forecast, a peachy tone which goes really nicely with my NC25 colouring. I apply this under my eyes.... Down my nose..... Dab on the Cupid's bow.... Wherever I can or want! It blends in easily and seamlessly and leaves my skin looking flawless and highlighted.

It isn't high coverage but doesn't claim to be used as concealer but I find it is enough under my eyes to disguise any minor discolouration. I always set with a powder but haven't experienced creasing when I haven't.

The packaging isn't my favourite but does its job. I just love being able to see the amount of product I have on hand. This is in a twist pen style with a brush on applicator. I find it slighly hard to figure how many twists I need.

But besides the packaging the formula is just magical. I'll definitely be repurchasing!

Tips: Gently pat into skin, it blends in so easily!
