A better highlighter than Benefit High Beam?

My Benefit High Beam is about to run out, is there a better highlighter out there for a similar price that you'd recommend?

I really like Benefit's Girl Meets Pearl but it's a little more expensive at £24.50.

I love Boots No 7 Skin Illuminator

Damn pushed the wrong button!

The Boots one is slightly cheaper, but looks more natural IMHO. I have it in both colours, and whilst I have very pale, cool skin, I find the 'peach' is more natural in daylight.

I quite like Highbeam, but find it higlights any bumps in my skin, and also enlarged pores, which the Boots one doesn't

Benefit Sunbeam is my new favourite, but I tend to still use high beam on my brow bones and sunbeam on cheekbones.

I also have girl meets pearl but thought that was more of a primer than a highlighter.

Instyle magazine next month come with benefit minis (one mini per issues) I think sun beam is one of the samples offered OP so maybe you could try that.

I am waiting in Instyle so I can try sunbeam!

iloveeverton · 28/09/2012 18:54

Does anyone know when instyle is out? Would like to try sunbeam.

Use highbeam at the minute and really like it.

I want Sunbeam too!

HappyGirlNow · 28/09/2012 20:42

Sunbeam is great Grin

Forget them all and buy Becca's skin perfector. Expensive but I use mine every day, it's over half full and I bought it for my wedding in Oct 2010!!! It really s incredible.

Where do you actually use the high beam and how much should you use? I have it but rarely use it as I find it makes me glow like a clown and I can't get it natural looking

AKissIsNotAContract · 29/09/2012 20:18

Just a small amount above cheek bones and just under eyebrows.

littlepinkfizz · 29/09/2012 20:28

The whole way along the cheekbone or just in the middle kiss?

AKissIsNotAContract · 29/09/2012 20:39

I go along the top of the cheek bone from the centre of my eye to the outside edge of my eye if that makes sense?

AKissIsNotAContract · 29/09/2012 20:40

Then a bit of benetint or posie tint on the fuller part of the cheek

littlepinkfizz · 29/09/2012 21:24

Yes that makes sense! Thanks kiss

Mac 'strobe cream', best highlighter on the market, little goes a very long way.

George at Asda do a fake 'High Beam' for about £3.50.
