The texture of this highlighter is brilliant - it feels nourishing and like the other rms Beauty products it melds seamlessly with the skin. If you don't like the feel of most silicone-heavy liquid highlighters this would be a good one to consider, and the balm texture makes it easy to control the positioning of the highlight. I most often apply it in a C shape from my cheekbones to my temple, and a little on the bridge of my nose.
Swatched on my hand. It's applied neat at the top of the swatch and blended out at the bottom. It gives a lovely soft pearly gleam to the skin with no glitter or gaudiness. It's just off-white, so is less stark than a pure white highlight.

This looks like a less glittery version of NARS Copacabana. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteLove this luminizer! It's fool-proof don't you think?
ReplyDeleteHi grace
ReplyDeleteThat looks very pretty and soft.
I like that it's 'cone free.
I like that concealer too, v good stuff x jeanie
That looks lovely and very easy to use for a subtle sheen. It's always great to find new makeup staples.

ooooooooooh that does look nice, trying to think if the coconut oil would upset me, I wonder if it would be too similar to my EB Sunlight though. Thanks for the review x
ReplyDeleteDoes it run warm or cool? Thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteHello all, and thank you for the comments.
ReplyDelete@Scent Hive, completely goof-proof. This would be my first recommendation for anyone timid about highlighters.
@dempeaux - yes, it's much more natural-looking (and feeling) than the NARS.
@GemZ - I'd say it's slap-bang-in-the-middle neutral. It's not a pure white, but the cream tones don't pull it far enough to warm. It's almost the exact colour of a natural pearl.
Hello - I'm new to your blog. I've been drawn in by your use of rms products!I like the idea of healthier makeup.
ReplyDeleteI've tried the uncoverup and I absolutely love it as much as you do. I've also recently purchased the Living Luminizer... and I'm at a loss...I think I should've gotten a lip2cheek! I'm not mad about it like everyone else seems to be...maybe not so fabulous for the more tanned? ...perhaps I'm not applying it properly
Hello Natural Beauty Lover :) Hmm, it is quite a pale colour, so would be more obvious on a warmer skintone. I wonder if you'd get on better with Muse Lip2Cheek as a warmer highlight? Trish at Scent Hive reviewed both of them here, and she has a more tanned skintone than mine:

To apply the Luminizer, I tap my fingers on the surface, then tap along my cheekbones and up to my temple, sometimes a little down the bridge of my nose. I should mention that I prefer very natural highlighters, which is why I like this one, it isn't obvious on me.
I hope this helps. If you wanted something more shimmery/highlighty and warmer, I'd suggest Solar Cream Eyeshadow, or even Magnetic. I have pictures of both of those if you search by the rms Beauty label.
