They are completely different. Beauty flash balm is an instant pick me up which tightens and firms your skin making it look a bit brighter. High beam is a highlighter that you put on the top of your cheekbones and it gives you a subtle shimmer.

Not used High Beam but I am completely won over by BFB.

I have both, they aren't really the same.

High beam paints on a dewy finish wherever you want it (cheeks and browbone, they say on the blurb). Beauty flash balm is more of an overall face brightener.

Ask for both

Are any of them any good or are there better alternaltives?

High beam does give a younger look to your make up. A light shimmer. Lots of people rave about BFB but to be honest even though I have it I haven't noticed a massive difference if I am honest.

Superdrug vitamin e luminous spf moisturiser does the same as high beam but in a plain tube and its £1.79!I buy it in bulk mix it with foundation and on a good day wear only it and mascara.Looks really healthy

BFB is day and is fantastic

Is Flash Balm a primer? Or a moisturiser?

JaneiteMightBite · 07/12/2009 22:54

You use BFB on top of moisturiser. It just sort of tightens and freshens your face. I read somewhere that it's not designed to be used every day, just to give your face an extra boost a couple of times a week. I find that Monday mornings are a good time!

DreamsInBinary · 07/12/2009 22:55

Aha! I have a sample buried somewhere that I must dig out.

burstingtotalkaboutit · 07/12/2009 22:56

lou33 · 07/12/2009 22:58
