What it is
Highlighting and shading that creates a three-dimensional effect with natural shadows.

I bought this looking for a matte highlighter. I used it on the sunken areas of my temples and cheeks. It's definitely matte, but it's just whitish, or something like that. When I swatched it on my hand, it had a slight sheen, but when I applied it to my face, I couldn't really feel that. It's a shame, because another matte highlighter I bought at the same time is far easier to use. It also came with shading, so I tried it, but maybe because I'm not the type to use shading to begin with, it didn't appeal to me.
Highlights and shading recommended for everyday use. I often use highlights and shading that are quite strong (sparkly or with strong shadows), and I usually adjust the intensity by using less. However, I was looking for something that would satisfy my selfish desire to avoid the hassle of adjusting the intensity when I'm in a hurry, so I bought this. The highlights and shading are noticeable yet subtle, so you don't end up with too much and feeling like, "Wow!" I also personally find it convenient to have both, as it's easy to carry around. It would also be good to use this as a base and then blend other highlights and shading in smaller areas!
I like that it combines highlighter and shading, and it even comes with a brush. I also dislike the glitter that's left behind when my makeup smudges, but this one doesn't contain any glitter, which I'm glad about. It's not noticeable even when applied heavily. I apply the stick-type shading after foundation, then powder on top of that, and finally this highlighter and shading on top. I want to contour my eyes well, but blending it with this powder helps to tone down the overdone look. I sometimes layer other products on top of my highlighter. I don't often use this product on its own.
During the summer, I was concerned about the difference in color between my neck and face, so I used a large brush to apply soft shading under my blush. It's thinner and more natural than it looks, so it's easy to use even for people with fair skin. The highlighter doesn't have a strong shimmer, so I apply it as a point under my brows and next to my laugh lines!
Highlighting and shading should go together! It's so easy to use!
