Gives a nice subtle glow

I really like this product, I have it in moonlight pearl. It's a shimmery light beige colour. I like the packaging, it looks really pretty under the clear cover. I feel like it will last such a long time as well since you don't need to use much. I've only used it dry, just on top of my cheekbones and it does give a sheer, subtle colour that isn't super obvious. You could easily build it up if you wanted more glow. I think that it's great as it would be hard to mess it up too much.I got mine off iherb, I think it was $2.99 us so a bargain really. I wouldn't mind trying a few other colours of it too.

Tips: I use a kabuki or big powder brush to apply, tap off the excess as well and lightly brush over what you want to highlight.

I recently purchased all 3 of their highlighters so I can't wait for them to arrive to try them out. I really liked your tip as well - that will come in handy when mine arrive :)

I love this!

I purchased this in the shade pink diamonds which is a frosty pale pink and didn't have high hopes for it, considering it only cost me $3! But wow I am impressed.

I find one swipe of my brush in the pan gives the perfect amount of glowing shimmer to my cheek bones without looking unnatural. It also makes a beautiful brow bone highlight shade and inner corner brightening shade. Very very happy I decided to try this out.

This is definitely a product I would highly recommend everyone who uses highlighting products gives a go. I will most certainly repurchase this if I ever run out (but I do not see that happening with the tiny amount you use and the decent amount you get) and might even try out some of the other shades. They are ridiculously cheap so why not?!

Tips: I use my real techniques contour brush to lightly apply to my cheekbones (only on the upper cheekbone not all the way down) and connect this to my brow bone highlight. I find this brush is the perfect size and allows you to apply the perfect amount of product.

Perfect glow

I bought this as soon as I learnt what highlighter was and i thought I would get an affordable product to try first as if I didn't like it I wouldn't have wasted any money. So to start with the price. I think I paid $2-3 for this and that is so inexpensive!

I got this in the shade moonlit pearls and it is a champagne kind of colour. I chose this colour as it was less pinky than the other two shades of elf baked highlighters.

The pigmentation is pretty good for such an affordable product and I have been super impressed with it. It gives my skin that perfect glow without being over the top. I use this to highlight my cheek bones, cupids bow and the bridge of my nose.

When I purchased this I got a fan brush at the same time to apply it with however I found that when used with a fan brush the product tended to stick to the brush and not transfer so well to my face. I now use it with a variety of brushes that are more dense than a fan brush and I love it much more.

It also last for ages! I have been using this for such a long time now however it doesn't even look like I have used anything!

I definitely recommend this product to anybody from beginner to pro at make-up.

Tips: Use with a dense brush rather than a fan brush to avoid the product sticking to the brush and not transferring to your skin.

Also you can swipe this along your collar bones for a subtle glow there.

High end result for an amazing price.

Recently I went on an ELF binge and ordered a heap of their items to try. I loved the look of these so I ordered all three... But I have only been using one, moonlight pearls, so that is the one I will be reviewing.

True to its name, moonlight pearls evokes both the moon and pearls. In its packaging it actually reminded me of a moon, that is drenched in crushed pearls. Even in the package it looks glowy and gleams and just stunning.

The thing I love about this product is that it's sheer yet pigmented. What I mean is that it is subtle but you can see it - one swipe is definitely enough if you want a subtle gleam. I really like that you can build this up to the coverage you like - you can make it as light or heavy as you want, and I find this user friendly.

The places I like to sweep this on are my cheekbones, forehead and cuspids bow. Since wearing this I have had two girlfriends ask me what it was because they thought it was so beautiful.

One other thing I absolutely love about this and loathe about other highlighters I have used, is that this has no glitter in it whatsoever. Personally I really don't want glitter on my face (except occasionally my eyelids), and this doesn't have any.

Overall this is an incredible product that is soooooo cheap! (I got mine for $3 off their website, www.eyeslipsface.com). I plan on testing out the other two in the following two weeks and have already added moonlight pearls to my elf cart for when I purchase from them again.

Tips: Skip buying a high end, expensive highlight and seriously try this out.

elf highlighter

It is so perfect for the price, I apply this with my finger as I find it clings to my brushes and I then have to use a lot of product to get my desired effect. It gives a beautiful subtle glow and really lasts! I'm such a face toucher, so I really need products that stay on well, and this does the trick!

Love elf

These are beautiful highlighters. Their not glittery or chucky. The just give a beautiful sheen and looks very very natural. They are really pigmented, and you get alot of product for the price you pay.

Tips: I use my fingers and just dab it onto the top of my cheek bones

Blushing glow

I've only ever owned a liquid highlighter, but when I saw ELF was having a 50% off sale I decided to give their Baked Highlighter a go. I picked it up at the bargain price of $1.50 in 'Blush Gems', which as the name suggests is a beautiful blush pink hue.

The packaging is compact and functional, the clear plastic lid making it easy to see the colour and great for storage and travel.

I like to apply this dry using an angled or rounded blush brush along my cheekbones. I found this brush just worked better for me to apply just the right amount to highlight the area I wanted, instead of just getting it all over my face. This product is so pigmented that you only need one sweep to create a subtle, radiant glow. For something a bit more noticeable I found this product was really easy to build up. I've also used it to highlight my browbones and inner corner of my eye using an eyeshadow brush and it worked really nicely.

I'm incredibly impressed with this highlighter, it's so ridiculously good value. If you see it for sale, well worth the buy you won't regret it!

Tips: Apply it to the browbone, inner corner or eyelid using a damp eyeshadow brush for more highly pigmented colour.

Moonlight Pearls Highlighter

I adore this highlighter! Although it can come off abit chalky on the skin, once blended in properly you really can not go wrong! Moonlight Pearls gives a more champagne highlight. I love it for the tops of my check bones, on my nose and cupids bow!

my go to highlighter

I brought this highlighter from iherb for US$3 couple of months ago, and it became the the only highlighter I've using from the day I got it.

the packaging is very compact and light weight, the product itself is very pigmented, a little bit shimery in it and looks GREAT on cheek bone, under bows and wherever you want highlight. very easy to blend, and looks natural and youthful. I've heard people saying they just skip highlighter for work or school, unless for special occasion, as they don't have the time in the morning, well, by using this elf highlighter, it only takes me few seconds to apply and blend.

I will definitely repurchase this product in the future, and it seems a long time to wait. as it is very pigmented, a little goes a long way, I have been using it almost everyday for months, and it still looks almost different than a brand new one.

highly recomment to ladies who are new to highlighter, or on a budget (who doesn't) and doesn't want to spent too much for makeup, or generally just looking for a great highlighter, this product wouldn't let u down.

So pigmented!

I LOVE THIS HIGHLIGHTER! It is so pigmented and gives such a gorgeous glow to the skin, such a great product for the price! I use it more for the inner corners of my eyes and it just makes my eyes look so bright and awake! Words can not describe how much I love this highlighter!
