Benefit posted another sneak peek on their Instagram tonight! Last night, I posted about their new Air Patrol BB Eyelid Primer that's coming out for Fall 2015, and now the newest product in their upcoming lineup is a matte highlighter called Shy Beam. I haven't seen too many matte highlighters but from what I can see from the swatch below, it definitely highlights!
The good news is, you don't have to wait for it to be released (Benefit didn't say if it'll launch in September with the Fall line or at a different time) because there's a deluxe sample inside this Operation Pore-Proof kit from Sephora ($34).

So what do you think, are you excited to try Shy Beam? Have you used a matte highlighter in the past?
*UPDATE* I was at Sephora today and they had testers of the Operation:Pore-Proof kit so I was able to swatch Shy Beam for you guys!
It's definitely a matte light pink...sort of like a liquid version of their High Brow pencil.

I liken it to Chella's Highlighter Pencils. It's nearly identical in shade and finish. I would likely use Shy Beam under makeup rather than over to contour. One could also use Benefit High Brow for the same effect.
ReplyDeleteYes, you're exactly right! I have a Chella pencil and it totally reminds me of that. And that's a good point about using it under makeup while highlighting and contouring.
Deletehmmm definitely a unique product. I'm gonna stick with shimmery highlighters though. I'm not a huge fan of the over-'highlighting' that people do that end up changing the shade of most of their face. This reminds me of that. I'm sure it can be used beautifully but I just like my highlighters to have a little sheen to them!
ReplyDeleteI'm with ya...I love my shimmery highlighters! I'm not super comfortable with the whole highlighting and contouring thing all over my face, so I just like to add a little light and shimmer after my makeup is finished. :)
