A tempting and shiny stick that promises a lift - I was so happy to get this! I'm testing the lightest version (05), which suits me - as I'm not into advanced contouring - well.
Unfortunately, the shiny surface of the stick lies - on the skin, this becomes far too matte and dry for my older skin. The teenage daughter thinks she sees a certain glow, but on the other hand doesn't really know what to do with the stick - it doesn't add anything extra for her, as she does full makeup with foundation, concealer, etc.
The stick is soft, which feels good, but makes it easy to break. The cap feels a bit plasticky and unreliable - I probably wouldn't want to put this in my bag.
We are probably the wrong users for the product: I prefer "real" highlighters for lifting, and my daughter reliable concealers.
If you're good at makeup, you can probably find uses - and maybe even more with the darker variants.
The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson - the test pilot was allowed to try the product for free.

Hey L😊
Thank you for sharing both your and your daughter's impressions – it’s so valuable to hear how the product works for different users and skin types 🤍
We understand that the result didn’t quite live up to expectations, especially when the finish felt too matte for more mature skin. It’s easy to hope for that "glow" when the surface looks promising!
So nice that you still tested with curiosity, even though the product didn’t quite find its place in your makeup routine this time. Just as you write – it might come into its own with someone who likes to experiment or work more with contouring ✨
Thanks again for your honesty – it helps others make a more informed choice!
