I’d never seen this before now and am now obsessed w/ the prospect of hunting it down on eBay. Wow. A polishing illuminator, I am blown away. Seriously. It’s like they took all the shimmer out of MAC’s Hyper Real Foundation and put it in its own little bottle.

Benefit Cosmetics makeup has never worked well for me. I don’t know why since everyone else is always praising them.

I’ve seen this in stores and was thinking about purchasing it, but was unsure how to use it. Maybe I’ll pick it up next time.

i use the moon beam on my brow bone, done my nose and…my cupids bow! it gives a nice glimmer and makes my mouth look slightly more plump. my face also gets shiny pretty, so i guess i have a certain “glow” already -_-

Just one swipe from bridge to tip. Then rub it in it moving your finger from bridge to tip–so don’t rub it in across your nose sideways. You only want it to shimmer in a “stripe” if you will. Once your makeup is complete, it obviously don’t look like you have a stripe on your nose. The effect is to keep the eye focused on your nose length-wise and not width-wise.

do you swipe it at the bridge of the nose or on the sides of the nose? =)

Hi Tammy,

There’s not much to it. ;) You just swipe the applicator down your nose vertically, make sure you don’t use a ton of product, and then you rub it into your skin vertically (not over your entire nose). It creates a shimmer and put the focus on your nose in a vertical way, giving the illusion of a slimmer nose. :)

I love Moon Beam, and like you I am really fair skinned. I got a small one of the High Beam in the Realness of Concealment kit, and while I do like that, I just like the Moon Beam so much better.
