MakeUpAlley Rating: 4.8/5
My Review Rating: (Pro+/Con-)
Lasts: (-) ~4 hours maximum w/o Primer/foundation
Quality: (+) Gives a beautiful light golden sheen to the skin that I have not achieved with any other product.
Quantity: (+) Use only the small bit on the cap, over the facial highlights zone. Personally prefer on cheekbones and eyebrows' arch. Rest assured the 1 Fl. Oz will last you a long time.
Value: (-) I would cringe paying $48 for this product. I don't think it is worth that kind of price. I bought it from a reliable, authentic Chanel products ebay seller for $32. Still a bit pricey for many people!
Overall Rating: 4/5
Comments: You have to make sure, if you have oily skin and live in a humid environment that this product wouldn't slip off your skin, because it has that tendency. Chanel counters don't offer sample of this product, because they are cheapskates. But try your luck anyway.

I love all my highlighters, to achieve different effects. They may appear very similar in photographs, but trust me, they're really quite different. All of them are shimmery, chanel having the most minute/finest sized shimmer, so that it literally looks like liquid gold. I hope you give it a try, because it is definitely worth looking into. I hope this has been useful to some of you. Please don't hesitate to reach me through comments if you would like to know more about this product. So tell me what your favorite highlighter(s) is (are) and why?
What a sour-pus. As a woman of color I started using Chanel in 2012, I can firmly attest to Chanel products. I tried OTC brands, Lancome, ETC, but none worked like Chanel. I used one bottle of their Perfection Lumiere for 1.75 Years. I have also used a sample of this product and blends perfectly with my oily skin in hot weather without any dripping. In fact I have jogged while under their make up after work and didn't experience a bad meltdown. Any time I've visited their counters in various cities and asked for a sample, I often get any sample of what I wish to have. Either you used to work for them and got fired, or you can't afford their things, or one of the associates in your local stores ran away with your partner in life for you to be viciously bitter. Once again I am not a Chanel Fan Boy, and I've used others and still do use other brands for eye make up. Please practice honest journalism
