A Little Sun Beam in the Winter

 

I am a huge fan of benefit Cosmetics and I have been buying a few of their bits and pieces for a few years now. I am a strong advocate of the benefit High Beam and a full size bottle can last me pretty much the full year. After browsing through the magazine aisle in WhSmiths I saw that Instyle magazine were giving away sample sized bottles of a few of their products. I have never tried the Sun Beam, with my pale skin I thought the shade would be too sun kissed for my complexion but decided to try it anyway.

I am quite impressed with this product, it isn't quite as golden or sun kissed as I had expected and didn't look to harsh against my skin. The product left my cheekbones with a nice dewy glow and complimented my pinky tone blusher quite well. I only needed to use a small amount of the product to get the look i wanted. I applied a couple of dots along the top of my cheek bone, a little across the bridge of my nose and also a little under my brows. A little goes along way with this product.

I think I will stick to the High Beam in future just as I prefer the pinky shimmery tone. The Sun Beam would be perfect for a night on the town or to add a sun kissed glow in the warmer months.

Have any of you tried the Benefit highlighters, which is your beam of choice?
