Neo Nude A-Highlight

Super shimmery! Not natural like it sounds

I bought this highlight bc I adore the blush & contour, & bc the reviews said it was an extremely subtle/natural highlight, almost to a fault according to some, which is def my jam. I was, therefore, very surprised to find that it’s actually a REALLY shimmery highlight. Bc no one mentioned this to my knowledge & some even said it did NOT contain glitter, I thought I’d point this out, esp for the people who, like I, are tempted to buy it BC of all the talk about its subtlety and “barely there” effect. In fact, I’m a bit confused as to who the intended clientele is for this product. It’s a lovely consistency, it blends easily & seamlessly w/out upsetting other makeup & generally possesses the characteristic Armani quality. That said, it’s way too shimmery for those who prefer a subtle/natural highlight, but doesn’t seem to have enough noticeable sheen for those who do like a glittery highlight. There’s a lot of glitter to be sure, but it doesn’t seem to catch the light as easily as other glitters. I think perhaps bc 1) it’s so fine & 2) the base itself has no real reflective props, it may be considered relatively subtle, but ONLY for a glittery highlight. In no way could this cut it as a natural one. (Obvi, since most of us don’t have glitter emanating from our pores.) I even missed the glitter at first in low lighting. (& it sounds, by the reviews, like others may have too) Therefore, if you like shimmery highlights but that are not super high impact/blinding, perhaps this is a product you should try. Likewise, if you’re someone who feels they’re too mature for glitter but enjoys finding small, more sophisticated ways to incorporate it into your routine, you may also want to try it. Like I said, I’m a bit confused as to the intended clientele for this product, but this would be my best guess as to who may enjoy it. Hope it helps! As I said, the glitter isn’t super reflective, so the pics really don’t show the extent, but will hopefully at least give you the gist.

Easy to blend!

I LOVE it! A beautiful highlighter :-)

Don't waste your money

There's a crazy small amount in this teeny tiny bottle. Not worth $30. You have to use a LOT to get a nice and natural dewy look. I don't want a heavy highlighter that shines like a disco ball, but I would like SOME dew. You shouldn't have to work this hard to get enough product out. This is awful. I'll stick with my highlight powders

Beautiful soft glow

This gives a soft beautiful glow to the skin. It won’t give you a beaming highlight, but in my opinion it looks far more realistic. It looks as if the high points of the face are catching the light naturally, leaving the skin with a radiant luminosity.

Very subtle, glowing highlight for a natural look. Last all day on my skin using other Armani face products.

I guess this would be a good highlighter for someone who wants the most subtle, barely noticeable highlight on their skin. maybe if you're into that no-makeup makeup look. I am not that person. no matter how much you layer this product, it doesn't become any brighter or more noticeable. for me, it feels like I didn't even put anything on when I use this. I wouldn't purchase this again. you're better off purchasing the charlotte tilbury highlighting wand if you're looking for a good liquid highlighter that can be both natural looking or buildable to something brighter.

My go to everyday highlight

I really love this highlight for everyday quick on the go makeup i Just use my ring finger no brush its a wet look highlight but very settle perfect for daytime no glitters or shimmers that shows on your cheeks this is my kind of highlight natural looking i have the blush and contour version of this product and i'm obsessed

My holy grail

This highlighter is amazing. If you want to create a dewy, fresh and doe eyed feel to your makeup - this will do it without being overly obvious. This isn’t for Instagram style highlighting - this is for a wearable, believable, drop dead gorgeous, fresh face.

God send so beautiful I got both colors actually the whole line you can't go wrong. too bad I destroyed mine when I took it with me to the cruise so I need new ones

Useless

Not worth the price for the amount you get and it did nothing on my skin

Great natural highlighter

Love this highlighter. In a fan of natural glow from within highlighters (tom ford shade and illuminate/glossier halloscope) and this one is like the but not sticky or tacky which i love. Mine came almost empty but the sephora cuatomer service solved the problem right away.

Subtly beautiful

Subtle glow with minimal sparkles. Easily blendable. Good for a no-makeup makeup day.
