Most Helpful Positive Review Transcendence is already my favorite thing about 2017 This is going to sound odd, I know that. But this has become one of my favorite BLUSHES. Yes, you read that right. I have fair to light/medium skin (between NW15 and NW20 in Mac) so I can't say that this will work for everyone. But when I put one or two generous layers of transcendence on my face, it imparts a unique, super ethereal, baby lilac pink flush and the shimmer only shows close up. So from afar, it just looks gently glowy. It's so princessy! It honestly looks like fresh little baby cheeks during the day, and then more of a glow at night for going out, which makes it versatile. The key is using your fingers to apply, which I know isn't for everyone, but really picks up the color and pinkens it on the skin. I just take 2 fingers and swirl one of two times and it's pigmented enough for me. Give it a try if you have lighter skin! It's natural looking but so unique.
Most Helpful Critical Review This product is similar to Star Light Star Bright If you are considering purchasing this product buy the Stila Star Light Star Bright Highlighting Palette instead. First you get all three colors and that seems to be more pigmented than the heavens hue.

I've been using this product for over 5 years now since seeing it in a youtube review and being completely sold. I've tried multiple highlighters and blushes since, but I always come back to this. When I was in middle school I remember my mom having a product called 'health' that was a bronzer / blusher duo that just brings life back to the face and this is that for me. It's the necessary last step in my routine. It really glows and has a wet look but also looks natural on the skin and doesn't emphasize dryness or pores. It adds dimension and has a great undertone that looks like my natural blush. I use it both for a nearly no makeup look with just concealer or bb cream and on my wedding day at my most glam. Apply with a stippling brush. I've also had the same compact last me years… and need to repurchase! Never discontinue please!
Glamorous and gorgeous 5
Beki G from Coastal Georgia
I am a caramel brown complexion with cool undertones. "Incandescence" is a PERFECT name for this beautiful highlight. Although I do find it pricey, you don't need a lot. It'll last forever ... ( if you're like me & keep some items past recommended exp dates :D )Tips: I've learned it applies best by simply using my fingers. Brushes lay it on too thick and don't allow the nice subtle glow as much.

Amazing! 5

meh, a little expensive for just meh 1
sadpanda4040 from NC
I wanted so much to love this product because the colors are so beautiful in the compact. This product doesn't give a sweep of highlight. This product relies so heavily on glitter to make give you that shine which is flaky and cakey. Gals and guys, other companies make better highlighter for less $. Spend your $30+ elsewhere.
Barely blue 2
lexie from nj
bought transcendence and it barely shows up as blue by the end of the day the blue goes away and it's just normal highlighter color. very disappointed
Beautiful and Amazing Formula! 5
Stef from Any
I first got this in Kitten and I knew I had to get the other shades too! Transcendence is my favorite and this universally flattering peach pink hue is amazing too! if you like products with texture and build able color than this definitely worth a try!
So pretty 5
rfeewjlj from WA state
This highlighter is SO pretty! It goes on smoothly and adds just the right amount of highlight. Nothing insane, just the right amount. :)
New fav 5
Makin it reina from Iowa
I got the kitten. And I'm in love. Not blinding but just what I need to hit all my high points.
Stunning Highlighter 5
Lipstick and Teacups from New Jersey
This is a beautiful highlighter. It has a soft, putty texture and blends like a dream. It can easily be built to a beaming highlight, but I usually wear it as a more subtle everyday highlight. Either way it's lovely.
My Favorite Highlighter! 5
Kamryn from Missouri, USA
This is the best highlighter I've ever tried. It's a silky, smooth consistency and not powdery at all. It looks amazing. My favorite shade is Brilliance, which sadly they don't sell anymore, but I have tried a couple of the others and they all look so great!
WAY BETTER THAN POWDER 4
B Newman from Johnson City, TN
I applied this after my foundation with a damp beauty blender.. I've never been asked more questions about a highlighted in my life. DEF recommend!
The absolute best! Hands down 5
BeccaJane from Cincinnati
I love this highlighter more than words can say! I not only use it as a highlighter but I take the biggest fluffy powder brush from IT cosmetics and use this to add shine all over my face. I also use it as an eyeshadow when I'm wanting to go for a monochromatic daytime look and it give your eyes the most beautiful wet shine without creasing. I love this product! it has lasted me two years so far, which some may say is bad and to get a new one but it still works amazing and hasnt dried out or cause breakouts. That being said, I do follow a rigorous Korean skin care routine. haha. I highly recommend it!... unbelievable!!
I would buy this product again and again 5
mzzzz from Dallas,TX
This is probably my favorite highlighter not to mention a unique putty formula! It is definitely worth the label of being a Best of Allure Beauty product! I have tried Fenty diamond bomb which is nice as well but not as long lasting as Opulence! This also is creamier and does not emphasize texture due to the creaminess compared to the chalky/powdery that comes from wearing powdery highlighters that look like there sit atop the skin. ALL IN ALL PLEASE KEEP THIS FOREVER. :)
I love this highlighter 4
KMAC from Bangor, Maine
I really like this product. I love highlights and this is no exception. I love the texture and the variety of pigments. It does take a lot to get on the brush but it looks really nice and comes with a lot of product. Totally worth the price.
My New Favorite Highlighter!! 5
Holly from Scitiate ,Massachusetts!!!
I have tried MANY highlighters (cheap to expensive) and this hands down is my absolute FAVORITE!!!!!! I like a lot of the ones I have but I LOVE this one. I have used it about 5x now and out of those 5x I have had a compliment on my skin 4x out of the 5!!! I read comments before I purchase, so I hope this helps anyone questioning if they should buy! YES, YES, YES!!!!! I bought the heavens hue highlighter in kitty color. I am an Italian women in her 40's. Hope this helps!!:-)

Good special occasion highlight 4
Gehana from Missouri
This highlight is practically glitter. It looks good when you apply with your finger at the highest point. Wouldn't recommend for everyday unless you just like glitter highlights.
It's just ok 3
Carrie from Alabama
A little glittery for my liking. The color is pretty (lightest shade) but it gets glittery fast when you're not careful.
Wouldn't recommend! 1
Mary from Chicago
Gets all gunky after a few swipes of a brush, no longer works as a powder. Useless!
Cute highlight however USE YOUR FINGER 5
Winelovvvvver123 from Ohio
Cute, definitely sheer buildable coverage. Use your finger for application no matter what brush I try it's soooo sheer. If you like a soft highlight use a fan brush. However, if you want to glow glow glow- use your finger, coverage is smooth and easy to blend with your finger, Harder to blend with the brush.
I love this highlight! 5
Skye from Pittsburgh, PA
I apply at the end of my makeup routine & use a setting spray over it. I usually apply with my finger for a thicker layer (which I never do, because I hate using my fingers for makeup application,) but it goes on way better that way.
