Tried this three different times in Sephora and liked the effect in the store, so finally bit the bullet and bought it here. The lighter (far left-hand) side is a great highlighter, not at all glittery or overly shiny. Gives a slightly iridescent, glowy look. The right-hand side is a definite purple that on me makes a great "contour" just under the cheekbone or lay it over your regular blush for more. The middle, I'm still playing with but it has more pink and works as a blush. For reference, I'm MAC NW20, fair with neutral-pink cool undertones and I'm a "woman of a certain age," so I definitely wanted to avoid looking like a disco ball. I know some reviewers complained about powder kick-up, but I didn't have much of an issue with that. Tap your brush after loading it and you're fine, IMHO. Some also said it enhances pore size, but I didn't have an issue with that as long as you don't over-do the highlighter. The pan is HUGE, so you get a lot of product/gram for the price. Happy with purchase.
Kevin Aucoin The Neo Limelight In “Ibiza” is not only a high quality product, but in addition to being a beautiful Ombré highlighter I also use as an eyeshadow for a subtle soft natural finish. Definitely a 5-Star product I will continue purchasing!
