Benefit Cosmetics Watt's Up! Highlighter Review

I haven't used too many Benefit products for some reason, so I was pretty excited that they were Sephora's birthday gift this year (which included Watt's Up & They're Real! Mascara samples). I've been very into highlighting this year, especially using cream products. One of my old favorites is their High Beam, which gives a gorgeous glow. Benefit Watt's Up is a cream to powder highlighter stick that is perfect for giving a glow all over the face. I like to highlight my cheekbones the most, but occasionally I'll highlight my cupids bow and bridge of my nose.Watt's Up is a super shimmery gold shade, that is almost rose gold. I like the cream to powder formulation because it's easy to apply both before and after powder.Once blended out, it gives a beautiful champagne glow. I find that this product is about a shade darker than my skin, so it's not the perfect highlighter for me, but I still use it. I can just add a powder highlighter on afterwards.In the photo above I'm wearing Watt's Up on my cheekbones, the bridge of my nose, cupid's bow (above lip), and brow bones. I definitely like it best on the cheeks & cupid's bow. I'm not a fan of shimmer on the brow bone, so I'd skip it there. Overall I think it's a decent highlighter, but I definitely wouldn't purchase the full size just because it's too dark for me. I do love the formula, though. Check it out if you're a bit darker than me. The full size of Watt's Up! is $30 at Sephora, so grab it if you loved your birthday sample, or you have made the mistake of not signing up to be a Sephora beauty insider!
