I have only used ICONIC London Illuminator as a highlighter for above my brows, cheek bones, nose area and upper lip. I think it’s such a lovely product giving amazing results for illuminating the areas you want highlighted with a subtle glow. It is very pigmented and a little goes a long way, I have had this for a while.
I contemplated it for a long before buying as I was always a Benefit High Beamer and it’s double the price of that but I have to admit I love it so much more. I can’t see past it now and it’s staying a staple product in my make up bag!
One day I will try through my foundation or moisturiser for an all over glow as Iv read it’s great for that too!
I use shade original and for now it’s definitely my go to highlighter! 💛

Highlighter highlight highlighter... one thing I never thought I’d need until I bought this! I love iconic London an will buy every product of there’s because it just becomes a ‘must have’ in my make up collection, an this... wow, yes, I love it, I’m not one to over highlight as I think some people use highlighter as blusher an it’s a bit OTT.. just my opinion! But I do love a highlighter an I couldn’t use another one. This one is so easy to use an you can easily decide how much you’d like to use with this, will never not have this product in my make up bag, iconic London have done it again!

Not the biggest fan of these to be honest. The glow is unreal on your hand, however I find that when I put it on my face, it doesn’t blend out very well and sits in a weird stripe on my face. It also lifts off the foundation from underneath it (I’ve tried with lots of foundations and always does the same). I tend to use this under my foundation to give extra glow which works well but don’t reccomend as a highlighter for on top of foundation personally.

Most metallic illuminator i have ever seen!! It leaves the skin looking wet with a shine like no other. If you don’t have this I really recommend it, I believe you can get it from cult beauty www.cultbeauty.com

I was lucky enough to get this for a bday present of a very lovely generous friend. I have been wanting to try the brand and this product for ages it certainly lived up to the hype. I find this is quite multi purpose. I drop a single drop of this into my foundation to help give skin a healthy lift. I imagine 2 would work well in summer or on less pale skins. I then also use as highlight on nose cheekbones and brow ones. I’ve found personally using a blender or finger works best as brush removed some foundation? However I had not set my makeup so this may have helped. Mixing into foundation. Gives my skin a very natural healthy glowy look and the highlight is the most impressive I’ve seen on my skin. Can be subtle and lightly gooey or blinding. This stays well once set. I am going to try mixing into body moisturiser to see how get on. LOVE THIS ✨✨✨✨

Jesus take the wheel - this stuff does what it says on the tin! I bought the original colour. I’ve tried this for a few days and have tried different ways of applying. I have found applying with a flat top brush works best for me. If you want a subtle glow a little goes a long way however you can build this highlight up and it is insane how illuminating it is... I personally am a fan of a subtle highlight but I can make this work for me. I know some people love the glow so if you do, you need this little bottle of beauty!

I purchased this because of the huge hype it had, it's now the most expensive highlighter I own. I don't understand it, am I doing something wrong? I found it extremely difficult to blend out and it seemed to cake into any foundation that I tried with it. I would recommend blending extremely fast as it dries down very quickly. It did look better once I added a powder highlighter on top, but I think for the high price, it should have worked better on it's own. I am so disappointed, I was so excited to add this to my collection.

After seeing this product all over Beauty Bay and Facebook, I decided I just had to give it a whirl. It was definitely worth the investment! The pigmentation is beautiful and looks gorgeous on top or underneath foundation. I apply mine with a Beauty Blender on top and f my foundation for a flawless finish. It mixes beautifully with other liquid and powder Highlighters, taking your glow to the next level! I mix mine with Makeup Revolution’s Liquid Highlighters and the result is stunning. A definite must have for your beauty haul!

The must-have product everyone is raving about, ICONIC London's Illuminator is guaranteed to take your highlight to epic new proportions. Every drop of this super-concentrated shimmering elixir glides on smoothly to bestow an ultra-blendable glow. Whether worn alone as an enhancer, or mixed with your foundation, primer or moisturiser to create a soft focus effect, this lends light to dulled, lacklustre complexions, and looks stunning when blended along cheek and brow bones to accentuate the high points of your face. Available in five perfectly pearlescent shades, you may have a hard time choosing between the exclusive, limited edition 'Gold' (a molten, gold hue), Original (a champagne-toned shimmer to add golden shine), 'Blush' (a radiantly warm rose-toned shimmer), Shine (a pearly pink-based glow-giver) and Glow (a terracotta tone that bestows a rich bronze-y glow).
