It blends in really well with the skin!!! The particles are so fine and beautiful! It has a lovely sheen. Because it's marbled, it gives off a variety of colors, which I think is great! Purple? I'm also interested in the lavender one.
I fell in love at first sight. Even when I see it in person, it has an aurora-like glow that gets me excited. It doesn't feel too shiny on the skin, and it has a beautiful shine that goes well with any makeup.
I didn't need a brush, so I bought one on Mercari. It really does give you winter-like cheeks!!! It makes your skin look beautiful and healthy. It's a light application, so it's easy to adjust. I absolutely love it! I chose the color Aurora.
The highlighter sewn onto the skin sparkles like soap bubbles! I bought Pink Marine in shade 02. At first, I thought, "3,000 yen for a highlighter? That's expensive," but no matter how much I applied, it didn't seem to wear off, so I think it's good value for money. I have a large mole on the bridge of my nose, just below my eyebrows, and using highlighters with large glitter particles or white or gold highlighters would make the mole glow white, which was a problem. This highlighter doesn't shine too brightly, no matter how much I apply! Also, while it looks pink on the back of my hand, it blends in perfectly on my face and has a subtle color payoff, making it incredibly easy to use! Even when I apply it all over my nose, it doesn't make my midface look longer at all, and it has a very natural glow! It doesn't look strange even if I apply too much, and it's suitable for people with clumsy eyelashes, regardless of their personal color. However, it's so thin that it's not suitable for those who want a shiny, glossy look where they apply highlighter. Also, because it's so thin, I don't think it can be used as a blusher substitute. It's very cute to layer it over blush.
I'm glad that it comes with a brush, but the highlighter itself is neither particularly special nor good.
