Too gold
"The highlight is buildable to be as light or as intense as you'd like. It's fairly creamy and blends out OK, but I found it to be far too gold. I understand champagne has gold undertones, but this is way more intense than I expected and doesn't look great against fair skin. That said, it would probably look beautiful against darker skin tones."

Hands-down, my new favorite makeup product. I absolutely love this highlighter!!!
"I am new to the Minori brand, so this is my first product from them, and I am incredibly surprised. I absolutely love this facial highlighter. At first I wasn't sure if I'd like it because it's a cream. I've only used powdered highlighter before, so this was definitely new to me. I don't wear that much makeup on most days, if at all really, so when I put it on without any makeup underneath, I immediately fell in love with it. It is subtle, not glittery, just kind of classy, and it makes my skin look glowing with just a little bit. I put it on my cheeks, my eyes, and just below my eyebrow, and I feel like I look amazing. I'm so excited about this product. It's so much better than just a flat blush to make your cheeks pop. It goes on very smoothly and is easy to apply. I did try to build it up on my eyes for an eyeshadow effect, and it layers well without getting cakey, which I've noticed happens with a lot of liquid eyeshadows I've tried recently. I did try putting it under my eyes, but it didn't really work for me because I'm starting to have some wrinkles there and it tended to emphasize them a bit. Even though it isn't a powder, it kind of settles more like one once it dries. I'm also very fair-skinned - I'm a natural redhead with light freckles - so sometimes one shade that works for most people doesn't really work for me, but this actually blends beautifully and melts into my skin. I use the champagne color, and I thought it might be too dark, but it's not at all. It just looks gorgeous and natural on my skin. I really can't recommend this enough. I will definitely be buying this again when I run out, which might be pretty soon because I can see myself using this every single day! I also am glad that I got to try something from the Minori brand. I'm excited to try more of their products in the future."

Beautiful finish, not too glittery
"This product gives such a beautiful finish to the skin. It applies smoothly and leaves a soft, healthy glow that looks natural rather than heavy or cakey. There is a little bit of glitter, but not too much. It wears well throughout the day and helps my makeup look more polished and radiant. I've been very happy with how flattering and lightweight it feels, and it hasn't caused any irritation or breakouts on my skin."

Soft, glowy, and melts right into the skin
"This highlighter has that smooth cream-to-powder texture that taps on easily and leaves a soft champagne glow that looks natural, not glittery. It feels lightweight, lasts all day, and works beautifully on cheeks, lids, and the brow bone. The pot comes with 4.9g of product in a clean, vegan, cruelty-free formula made without parabens, phthalates, or silicones."

Really lovely natural glow
"This is the first product from this brand that I've tried out and I'm impressed! It's a little expensive but you do get a lot of product for the price, a little goes a long long way and I can see this lasting me a whole year with regular use! It gives a really gorgeous inner glow look rather than being too sparkly which I really like. It's subtle but definitely makes a difference. I've primarily been using this on my eyelids and cupids bow and it works so well both places. When I'm feeling a bit lazy I'll pop this on instead of eyeshadow and with a little prep or powder on top it lasts hours with minimal budge and smudge. I have extremely fair, cool toned skin and this is a little more bronzed/orange toned than I'd usually prefer but it can be blended nicely to still work. I just wish there was a cooler toned option as well and if there ever is I'll certainly purchase! Overall a great product, highly recommend!"

My all time favorite!!
"Literally my perfect highlighter! I've tried tons of highlighter and while I do love the majority this one was so incredibly nice in the way of it blends into my skin so well that unless I'm in the light you can't tell it's really there and to some that might not be the goal I love that! It looks so naturally glowy and genuinely makes me look amazing I highly highly highly recommend. Super easy to apply, easy to remove, super buildable, everything I could want all in one!!!"

Beautiful Natural Glow, but a Bit Pricey for What It Is
"The Minori Cream Champagne Highlighter gives a really pretty, soft radiant glow that looks natural rather than overly shimmery. It blends easily and works well on the cheeks, eyes, and brow bone for a subtle, lit-from-within finish. The cream-to-powder formula feels lightweight and smooth, and it layers nicely over makeup without disturbing foundation. I also appreciate that it is vegan and cruelty-free. Overall, it's a lovely everyday highlighter for a sheer, buildable glow that looks effortless and fresh. That said, I am not sure I would personally spend the $32 price tag - I do like the product, but I'm not fully convinced it's worth that cost."

Lightweight and Easy to Apply, but Not Quite the Glow I Expected
"I requested this product for my wife's evaluation. Her comments: "This highlighter feels incredibly lightweight - once it's on, I can barely tell I'm wearing anything, which I love. The cream-to-powder texture makes it very easy to apply and blend without any stickiness. Love that it's vegan. My only drawback is the shade. The Champagne color is very close to my natural skin tone, so it didn't give me the 'glow' or brightening effect I was hoping for. It's subtle to the point of almost disappearing on me. Still, the formula itself is beautiful, comfortable, and effortless to use. If the shade were a bit more contrasting for my complexion, it would easily be a five-star product. This product is expensive for a small container, however, I would think the product would last for a long time. ""

Impressive highlight cream
"I am a person who likes very light makeup that looks natural. The minori tint is perfect for me; it is very light and natural. When I have worn it, it creates more of a glow, that wide awake, bright look. I was surprised how something so light could do so much. Since I don't wear a lot of makeup, I have a fair amount of sun spots not covered by foundation and powders. The highlighter added to the coverage of some of those spots. I am impressed with the minori highlight cream. It feels great, it goes on easily and I can use it to add glow everywhere."
