Most Helpful Positive Review Dry skin gals rejoice! Just bought this product as I love the concealers but with my super dry skin my under eyes end up looking like the Sahara. This product is unique as it 'highlights' or brightens the skin without ANY shimmer/glitter/sparkle etc. looks great on days when you're just throwing on some gimme brow/ bb cream/ lip gloss; it adds dimension to your face without looking like you're wearing 'highlighter'
This product works best on guys and gals that have Uber dry skin. Like every moisturizer, primer , foundation, etc. doesn't make a difference you still have dry flaky areas of skin, then this product is for you!
Also FYI the sponge isn't meant to be used while still in the tube. You're supposed to remove it and use it just like you would any other beauty blender...
Most Helpful Critical Review Nothing fantastic about this product The product is okay... it isn't something that is worth the splurge or that you have to get. The coverage is sheer because it's like a base for the tarte shape tape concealer. When applied by itself, it serves no justice in covering your under eyes, so it makes the point useless unless you buy the shape tape concealer. I haven't experimented with other concealers if they are compatible with the glow wand, so to be safe you would have to use what they offer. On days where you want to look dewy and glowy then it is a nice product and it doesn't crease which is wonderful. But I don't see the hype around this product and it would be a waste of money to spend on.

Julie E from Aurora, IL
I got this in my Boxy Charm over a year ago and fell in love! I got the color Alight, which seemed to be a good color. When I decided to repurchase, I ordered Sunbeam ( lightest shade) and that suits me better cause I am quite fair. I'm 43 with dry skin. I don't bake or use powder, unless I need my makeup to last a really long time, then I use very sparingly with a puff. When I use this, I don't use any powder and I love how it looks under my eyes! It's such a lovely glow. The sponge is kind of useless because it falls out all the time, but I have plenty of sponges to blend this in. I would take off half a star (if I could) because the tube doesn't seem to ever be full, so I'm having to replace it more often than I'd like. I hope Tarte doesn't discontinue this product, as it is a staple in my collection and I have not found anything else like it!
I am liking this product. 5
Sylvia from San Antonio Texas
Covers my slight dark circles. So far I like the coverage.
Love this for under eyes 5
Dre from Highland, MI
Perks the under eye area right up
Love!! Wish they'd bring back the sponge w/ it! 4
Aspen from Charlotte, NC
I love this product!! I like to use it where I would put highlight and towards the inner corner on top of concealer and then I blend it out with a brush. It gives the best glow and brightened look!
Too much glow 3
Bobbi from Muskegon, MI
Although I have used Tarte products previously and liked them, this one was just too much for me. I had to return it.
Not as much coverage as I was expecting 3
Kat from Atlanta, GA
It goes on very smooth but doesn't have as much coverage as I was hoping for. Didn't live up to the hype. Great for someone who wears more minimal makeup.
Glowy and beautiful! 5
Carmen from Chicago
i purchased this after another one of my favorite concealers were discontinued and i'll have to repurchase this soon just in case tarte takes this baby away from me. it looks beautiful on the cheekbones as a liquid highlighter without any shimmer particles and makes me look wide away
and healthy. it is a new must have.
One of my favorites 5
Tarte Lover! from Dallas TX
This is one of my new favorites! Some times my under eyes look sad & lifeless. This product brings them to life & gives an illuminating glow! Brightens & makes me look more awake. Didn't know what I was missing without it! Glad I tried it.
Amazing product- PLEASE bring back the mini blender!! 4
Adeline from Massachusetts
5 star product, sorry but getting rid of the sponge really does take that fifth star away and I'm so sorry! Not only was it super convenient, it was the perfect texture/shape/size for this specific item. The search for the perfect brush or blender was harder than I thought it would be! Which proves to me further, we need the included mini one back. Instant 5 star every time if so.
amazing! 5
ari from Socal
I got a small trial size to try. I started to use it everyday that I wear makeup. I love using it over my concealer as a highlight, it's not too much, just enough, more of a natural light. I just got the regular size for my birthday.
Works well 5
Jennifer from Memphis
I mix this with my concealer to hydrate and reflect light. Really helps with aging crepey under eyes.
Miss the Sponge, but Great Product 3
Sponge from Indiana
I love using this product, but when it first came out they had a handy sponge attached to the tube! Where did it go?!!
Must Have 5
Tanya from Massachusetts
I was surprised to see that this product has so many mixed reviews because this product is an absolute must have for me. I use this every single day. On no makeup days, I'll swipe a little on my cheekbones to get a little shine and dimension. On "no makeup makeup" days I'll use just this product with the tarte shape tape concealer to get a little more coverage. It adds the tiniest bit of coverage and evens out my skin tone. When I have a full face of makeup on, I'll use this product either underneath my makeup or as a highlight on my cheekbones, nose, and above my lip. It blends out beautifully on top of my foundations or on top of my skin.
What I love most is how dewy and radiant it makes me look without being a full out shimmer. I don't use this product under my eyes so I can't speak for its creasing and wear time on the undereye area.
I've had this product for 8 months and I'm close to being out, and that's with some heavy daily usage. I can say with certainty that this will be a repurchase for me.
Great natural but buildable glow! 5
JTD from Atlanta, Ga
This is my new favorite highlighter by FAR. It has a candlelit, dewy glow that lasts all day. It melds naturally with the skin, therefore doesn't enhance texture issues. Great for mature skin (I'm 43). Absolutely love this product!
Shape tape Glow in Sunbeam 5
Kimberly's beauty obsession from Texas
My daughter bought this first, I tried it and had to go buy one. This is an amazing product!! It gives an amazing glow, whether it's used as a concealer or highlight. It gives amazing coverage and doesn't settle in fine lines. It goes on so smooth and gives your skin a lit from within look. I love using this and experimenting with different ways to use it. I have fair skin and the lightest one sunbeam looks so pretty on me. I love makeup and try many things, this is for sure one that I will keep buying.
Dewy Youthful Glow 5
DaniSam from St. Paul, MN
I got this glow wand as part of a subscription box and now I don't think I'll ever want to be without it! I put it on under my foundation and it gives me a gorgeous, youthful glow all day! It doesn't cause my foundation to sit weird or separate,, but blends perfectly. It really does look so natural and "lit from within." Can be used to brighten under eyes or as a cheek highlight and it actually moisturizes and keeps skin looking fresh. It's also perfect for a little nose and lip highlight that doesn't look to cakey or powdery like some other products.
Love it ! 5
Hrh from Beckley wv
I love to use this under my foundation for a glowy look! I even bring it under my eyes to brighten them up some!
Light & Glowy - But Sensitive Skin Beware 2
Vanessa from California
I liked the light texture of the product as I am straying away from concealers that are cakey or heavy. This one definitely fits the mark of a highlighting product with a tinted base. However, about a hour after wearing the product under my eyes the entire area began to sting, swell and turn red. I do have sensitive skin but have never had problems with Tarte products or my shape tape concealer. I would definitely recommend those with sensitive skin to stay away from this product.
Minor Difference 3
Jay Woo from Bloomington, IN
I only see a small difference between this and my regular shape tape concealer. It did not come with the separate blending sponge ... not sure if that's a quality control issue with Ulta or Tarte ... but don't advertise it if it doesn't come with it.
Not worth it, even on sale 1
Kelsey from Florida
I thought this would be a great highlighter especially based on other reviews. It is more like a concealer that has the tiniest bit of glow to it. Very disappointing!
A must have for this 48 year old! 5
Ttrent from Akron OH
This really does help boost radiance & smooths appearance of the skin with its micro-fine pearl pigments
The Diamond complex technology does diffuse the light to create a soft-focus effect wherever I applied my glow wand.
I use this for an instant eye lift over my concealer. I place this on the inner corner of my eyes pulling it slightly down the nose and over to hide my dark circles & fine lines.
For a lifted Illuminative look I use under the brow bone to highlight and along the temple down to the under eye to help lift the face upward making for a younger appearance.
I can't believe the difference this as made in not only my look but also with how my under eye area feels. I no longer have dryness on the delicate skin under my eyes since I've begun using this glow wand.
100% recommend & I will be buying more!
No sponge applicator… 3
Hiiuu from CA
I don't know if Tarte cheapened out but this wand came with no "plush applicator"…. Ulta/Tarte should really update the information to avoid misleading people
Not as advertised 1
DisappointedBeautyQueen from Virginia
2 out of the 3 purchased did not come with the blender ball at the bottom. Very disappointing that they are shipping product that isn't as advertised.
Love it 5
Julie from Mi
I use this mostly as a highlight on on my cheeks and nose and a little bit under my eyes. It's really pretty and dewy looking. I just recently picked up a new one and they updated their packaging so the useless sponge is no longer there 🙌🏼 tarte has been changing a lot of their products and formulas for the worse and this is actually a good change.
This is a MUST have product! 5
Ash from Texas
I have struggled with dark circles under my eyes for as long as I can remember. I've tried hundreds of different products to minimize the dark color. This product drastically brightens my under eyes! I even use without foundation! Love love love it!
