I was gifted this for my birthday in the shade deity. It is such a beautiful shade and looks absolutely stunning....in the compact! I did find that it had quite a bit of fall out in the compact when I was putting it on my brush. Once I applied onto my skin I was left a little disappointed, especially as I know it’s quite expensive! It felt really powdery, and it’s so sheer I hardly got any shine at all. It didn’t seem as if I was applying a highlighter but felt and looked more like a setting powder. I also found that it did emphasise my skin texture. I did apply my normal highlighter from sleek over the top and it just showed that a MUCH more affordable products works better for me than this. In fact, my £3 MUA highlighter works better for me. I wouldn’t recommend this however, as I haven’t tried any of the other shades I’m not sure if they’d work better. I won’t be repurchasing this 👎🏼

I am in my mid 20's with combination, tanned tone skin and brown eyes. My hair is dark brown, combination with normal texture.
I use this as a topper after I've used a lot of powder I set my face and then apply some on top lightly, if you use a lot of powder like me this helps the skin look less dry. It is expensive but that is expected of Illamasqua due to it being high end. It's not necessity however it is a nice add on to any collection.

I have this in deity and I’d been longing for this for a long time but after owning so many highlighters I couldn’t justify buying it, but received it in my look fantastic advent calendar. It’s a beautiful highlight. It has a shift in colour which adds dimension to the face and while the powder feels very dry it applies and blends easily and blended out gives a healthy glow. I tend to be more drawn to more buttery feeling powders as my skin matures but this one completely breaks that myth for me!

This product is really subtle and sheer & is a beautiful highlight when applied with a damp brush. I always mix it with other products so can’t give it a 5 Star rating as I never use it alone to create a finished highlight.

I bought the shade Epic which is a beautiful bronze highlighter and I wasn't disappointed! The compact itself is sleek, and the product inside is absolutely beautiful & looked stunning on my Pakistani skin. As a baked highlighter, I could pick up small amounts of product and build my glow without it looking cakey or clinging to texture, and it lasts all day. The only downside I would say is that the matching highlighter brush that I got didn't do an amazing job but the Real Techniques highlighting brush worked a treat. The bronzey glow is beautiful - I would literally bathe in this if I could!

Mine is in the shade OMG - and I absolutely LOVE this highlighter! It leaves a really natural shimmery glow and makes you look healthy and fresh. Formula is a very fine silky powder (not chalky) which feels satiny on the skin. When I wear it I feel like god himself is casting light on me it's magic. It's a understated beautiful kind of glow great for no-makeup makeup days or for when your skin is a little dull.

I'll start off by saying that if you're looking for a super-glittery highlighter (as it looks like at first glance), it isn't. However, I absolutely love it for a soft daytime glow, or I stipple it on with a damp beauty blender for a more intense strobed look. It's massive, and has lasted me ages (without even putting a real dent in it). Looks beautiful on all skin tones :)

Recently purchased shade OMG. I love this as it's different to all my other highlighters. Instead off being a glittery type this is more illuminating and perfect for the strobing look. Makes my skin glow instead off sparkle. Beautiful. And as a bonus I adore the packaging, lovely and sleek, plus more product then I was expecting there to be. Is a bit pricey at £32, but you pay for quality
