Cava
Benefit Cava Day Glow Highlighting Balm ($30.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a pale gold with reasonable, heat undertones and a dewy sheen with faint pearl. It had clear protection, which was as marketed by the model, that appeared like a wet-sheen and never overly pearly (once more, as marketed).
It remained dewy on my pores and skin because it by no means dried down, which made it shorter-wearing and straightforward to smear for those who’re somebody who by chance touches their face! The feel was very emollient, nearly oily, and excessive in slip, however I used to be capable of pat it into place with out it spreading and diffusing too readily. It utilized greatest over naked pores and skin, but it surely was workable over base merchandise however appeared to sheer them out just a little bit, although it didn’t create patchiness. This shade lasted for 5 and a half hours earlier than fading visibly.

The method is meant to have “translucent’ protection that “impart[s] a dewy, balmy sheen with zero sparkle.” It is one of many extra emollient consistencies I’ve come throughout in a cream highlighter lately! It seems like a strong, dome-shaped balm, however as quickly as I touched it, the feel had excessive slip and felt nearly oily consequently. They delivered on the “clear” protection because it appeared very sheer on with the 2 shades out there trying nearly the identical on me consequently.
I used to be surprised–but in way–to discover that it utilized effectively over basis and did not appear susceptible to lifting up my base merchandise as typically, very emollient textures can work together extra noticeably when layered over different issues in my expertise. It labored effectively over naked pores and skin, too, and had a dewy end.
It did not dry down and remained movable hours later, so the shorter-wear time (5 to 6 hours) wasn’t a shock. The product did not really feel cheesy, simply emollient all through; I’ve extra “regular” pores and skin on my precise cheek space the place I examined this method (I am drier close to my nostril and on my nostril). The highlighter was oilier and had higher-slip in comparison with the model’s Flush Balm Cream Blushes, although they felt extra comparable than not (however the ingredient lists usually are not that comparable).
