THE GOD OF ALL HIGHLIGHTERS!

OMG OMG OMG! this baby is the best highlighter ever! and I have used many! Farsali, Huda beauty, Jouer, Too Faced.. all too glittery and wired, I gave mine to my make-up addict friends, this is gorgeous! you can use a little for a natural glow.. you can add extra for a blinding glow and all techniques work perfectly! doesn't look smudgy or patchy or anything and it is so easy to use! just lightly dab it on and you are good to go!

Caroline

So blend-able!

I love this! I use it as a highlighter after application of foundation or BB cream. You only need the tiniest amount and I blend with my fingers. Because it’s a liquid I find it easier to apply than a lot of powder highlighters (which aren’t great for dry skin).

YAASSSS

I use the 'original' shade as a base for my powder highlight for that blinding glow - LOVE IT!

Beautiful product, super bright, a little oily but I think it is the best liquid illuminator on the market.

Linabellaaa

If you want to GLOW like a goddess. You need this!

First of all...I lost my beloved illuminator because it fell out of my bag and dropped into a million pieces! I ONLY HAD IT A MONTH AND IT WAS THE BEST THING EVER!!! THIS WAS THE ONLY THING I WORE, for anyone who said it doesn't blend properly, you're not doing it right babe! A bit of moisturiser, some brow product and mascara and A LOT OF THE ICONIC ILLUMINATOR AND that's it. No foundation nothing, this will make you look like your glowing from within so badly people will come up to you asking for flipping skincare routines!! It was AND IS the best illuminator out there! Sorrynotsorry. I waited a long time before buying this product and it was money well spent! I loved loved loved it. Get it for summer, trust me, you won't regret it! Lina xx

Yas

A must have for everyone

Everyone needs iconic London illuminator in their makeup collection. It’s the most blinding highlighter I have ever used. It doesn’t feel sticky after applying and looks glowing and sparkly. I love using this under a highlighter or mix in with my foundation. Highly recommend! When applying I would recommend a slightly damp beauty blender!

Sophie

POPPIN’

Amazing. Blinding. Buy it!

Ladan

Iconic

This item is so good!

Ellie

Glow, baby, glow!

It's really worth the hype. I applied it under my foundation and it really brightens the face. Applied as a highlighter on cheeks and nose it gives you a wonderful and long lasting glow. The best thing is that you only need a small amount of product, as the pigments are strong and it is easy to blend. Thumbs up!

Cate

Love it

I bought it in shade “original” and I adore using it mixed with my Lancôme stick foundation or any of my liquid foundations, it doesn’t affect their staying power, and as a top highlighter. Best versatile product.

TA

Creates a subtle/intense glow

It's definitely a good highlighter, I prefer this over highlighters that leave my face looking glittery, I use this product with a beauty blender to give it a natural glow rather than a intense glow. So if that's what you're looking for I feel like you can achieve that with this product as it's a liquid consistency and does not leave glitter on your face. :)

kitten

Opinion

Okay so I got this product super fast from Cult Beauty which is amazing and I also think the product itself is beautiful very well pigmented. I love the glow, I'm highlight obsessed and will buy again. I got the shade 'original' and now I might try the other shades but am a little nervous in case its either too light or dark. I honestly thought it would be more of a wet look, don't get me wrong it is, but it also has in my opinion a slight glitter shine to it that I didn't expect. When I washed it off the first go it still left a natural, yet popping glow to my skin which I really like so all in all I really like the product, it's honestly worth the hype.

Joan

Not greasy at all

I have acne prone oily skin and it doesn't make me break out and it stays in place. Most liquid products make me break out straight away but I've been using this for a month now and it works so well mixed with foundation. It's so glowy without being greasy.

Hails

Godess glow

I cannot live without this. I am that girl who likes to glow to the gods and this product is amazing. You can put little drops all your face, blend then apply foundation. But day to day I highlight the usual places and then put a powder glow on top (and YES you can 100% notice the difference when this is under a powder glow). This can be worn on its own also and its AMAZING. I use the colour original as I am quite olive skinned.

Mikaela

WOW

Blinding highlight!!! literally like liquid metal...love it!

RBB

Lives up to th hype

I use the darkest shade to warm up my base and it gives me a sun kissed glow. Will defo be repurchasing the original shade for added glow in the winter /fall. Bit pricey though uff

Maria

Possibly the worst thing I've ever bought

This fades after about an hour and a half. Nice packaging and pretty to look at but pretty terrible. Not a good investment at all. Have used it twice. No more.

Momo

Happy costumer

Iconic London Illuminator is the greatest highlighter ever. I have some other highlighters that I'm in love with, but this bebe right now beat them all lol. It was Eid and I used it for the first time. I can say my Iconic London Illuminator beat all the highlighters on this day lol.

Claudia

Just what I have been looking for

Best highlighter I've ever used. Not sparkly, gives a beautiful dewy look mixed in with foundation or primer, but can also give that super-bright highlight look. Easy to work with, goes completely dry so no smudging during the day and lasts for ages. Cannot go wrong.

Henna

Amazing illuminator

I rarely use it as a highlighter, but instead I mix it with foundation or primer. That way it gives my skin a perfect glow that lasts all day. It looks especially gorgeous on summer when I'm more tanned.

Camille.Orsini

Best Illuminator Ever

I ADORE this Illuminator.

MariaG

Thanks to the goody bag!

I got the original in my goody bag last February and oh boy! It immediately became my favourite illuminator. and I just had bought a really nice one from Tarte. You need a tiny drop to glow and everybody notices really cool

Sam

WORTH IT

Love it!

Rema

Great product

Absolutely amazing.

Koulla

Just perfect!!

I love it!!! You can use it with a lot of ways... Fantastic.

Jen

Amazing highlighter

I'd seen this used in beauty vlogs and had to try it! It's so versatile, some days I simply use it to highlight under my eyebrows and cheekbones, other days, highlight nose and forehead too. For a really glowing look I mix a little into my foundation, when I do this I get lots if comments with how my skin looks! I don't think I'll ever be able to use any other highlighter, ever! x

Angela

Great illuminator

I mix a drop with my matte foundation and I have a natural glow and my makeup seems natural.

Hana

PERFECT

Blends perfectly, has the right amount of shine, lovely texture, color, everything!

Estela

Beautiful but..

I’m still missing that super smooth texture that i would love in a liquid highlighter. But it’s definitely a MUST HAVE that you can use in many ways. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Er

The best

No glitter, no stickiness, no moving the foundation underneath and stays all day long. Just use one drop!

Su

Original too shiny for dark skin

I received Original in the recent Goody Bag and it was way too bright on my dark brown skin. But that's also because I prefer to glow rather than glitter. This was noticeable and looked pearlescent white on my skin. Maybe it works better for lighter skin tones?

Alex

Best I've tried so far

I got this with one of the bags in a small version. Initially I was afraid of liquid highlighters - imagined it'll drip everywhere and make a mess of my makeup. But this babe is magic - a small amount goes a long long way and it gives a nice natural glow. Love it, it's the best - and I've tried a few!

Ana

Amazing

I add it everyday to my face cream and literally changes my tone to a healthy glow. With foundation it is great too.

Tashoye

Beautiful

A little goes a long way. This will last me for a while. Just perfect in the makeup world!

Vivian

Best liquid highlighter so far...

I looove this! I did not expect to like it as much since I usually prefer powder highlighters. I tried many liquid highlighters before and none of them really amazed me. This one is great because you can apply a tiniest amount for a more subtle everyday glow or pack it on to blind everyone. A little goes a long way and it lasts all day!

nyree

Highlighter wonder

This highlighter can be used on it's own, under or over makeup or mixed into your own foundation to give the face a natural or not so natural glow depending on how it's used. It's a must have on anyone's makeup bag however beware the glass bottle as it breaks easy.

Federica

Subtle glow

I've got a sample of this in the Spring Goody Bag 2019, in the shade Original. I was a bit upset when I found ANOTHER highlighter among the goodies as I'm not a highlighter girl at all, BUT I like it so much! It gives me that right subtle glow to brighten up my olive complexion: drops of bloom!

Diana

Yes yes yes

Amazing glow product! You only need tiny amount and the bottle will last you forever!

Kirstie

The best

I've tried so many highlighters, powder and liquid, and always come back to this! It's worth the cash.

Cs

Amazing if you know how to use it

This product lasts so long as the whole bottle will last you like a year a little goes a long way. Honestly gives you so a natural glow to your skin which I have always found hard to get. I got the shade original and people who are finding it hard to blend or are seeing like a brown smudge on their face where they applied- are applying too much, I was guilty of this. You need less than a pea size for one side above your cheekbone apply with the tip of a wet beauty blender and that will give you an amazing glow worth every penny.

Nora

Love it

It looks absolutely amazing and gives a beautiful glow. I always get complimented when I use it. Sometimes I top it off with powder highlight and it gives this INSANELY blinding shine. On days where I don't feel like using foundation, I mix a little with my moisturiser and it gives me this nice glowy look. A little goes a long way with this product. Use too much and it will mess up ur foundation and look weird. You really just need a tiny drop if you're going to use it as a highlighter.

Sara

I didn't like it

Not blending well.

Lulibell

Meh

Good shimmer but changes the consistency of foundation and coverage. Kind of eats through it, can't apply on top of foundation due to this as leaves streaks. Maybe it doesn't agree with double wear? Wary of using it in the daytime, what if it affects the efficacy of SPF because of the way it destroys foundation? Will either use as body highlighter or give away...

Dolly

Hearty eyes!

Everyone should own this! I purchased this product in Original...I've honestly had so much use out of it! AMAZING on the face but so equally amazing mixed with a bit of body lotion and used on your shoulders/décolletage! Deffo always going to be in my makeup bag!

Eva T.

The perfect illuminator

I just received it. Well, I am impressed!it looks so good on my skin...loved it!!

@meganrdavies_

Average

I was so excited to get this - everyone talks about it and it looks amazing! I bought the pink and the medium golden. It's on the pricey side so you expect it to be amazing. When applied right, it is! I really love using 'glow' under my foundation, it gives the skin a lovely glow. I love this product when I build it up tiny bit at a time with a clean beauty sponge. If I use a sponge i've already used for concealer etc then the highlight goes cakey and patchy. Use tiny drops at a time with either a damp new sponge or your finger. Don't use after powder!! I think it's better when applied to a dewy foundation. A matte foundation seems to break up and the highlight seems to lift it.

Charlotte T

Good to have it

The price is relatively high, but it is ‘a good to have item’. Apply a layer before foundation to make the paint look better and brighter without getting too glowing.

EW

Mixed views

I got this product as a lot of people where talking about this! Firstly I brought the wrong colour for me, which is my fault so I cant really tell if I like it. As I got the darker shade and I have pale skin I tend to use it under my foundation when I have tan on. I cannot really tell the difference in my skin, but it looks pretty over my foundation but course I cannot wear it like this as it is too dark. If I got the right colour I'm sure I would have more to say. But for the price I still think it is very expensive for the small bottle.

Poornimavamanan

Very good

Desp

THE BEEEST

Intense glow, easy to blend, just everything you want.

brogan

Illuminator

This looked unreal on holiday, even though I'm pale and don't tan too well the original shade looked so good, especially mixed in with my moisturiser.

K.B

Nice Product - not worth the price though.

It definitely looks stunning when swatched, although once blended into the skin it isn't as powerful and is mostly just glittery. Has an oily texture which I don't mind, but definitely tends to disturb your base. It also wears off VERY quick.

Sere

Iconic Glow

Truly amazing product deffo lives up to the hype :)

Erica

I love it

I love this liquid highlighter!!! It looks brilliant on my skin and I feel that it just does so much for any make-up look. I love it. I feel like it gives me such a gorgeous glow.

HAlys

Disappointing

Lifts the makeup underneath and very sparkly. As another reviewer said you can see where its been applied and leaves a streak on your face.

Rose

Not for people who have light skin

I have light skin but It's definitely not porcelain and I am fairly tanned right now. I bought the original highlight as the lighter colour is pink which is not a colour which would suit my yellow toned skin. I applied one drop to each cheek and blended with my beauty blender. Once I walked downstairs I was continually informed of the orange foundation patch on the top of my cheeks (I was not wearing foundation I had only put the illuminator on).No matter how many drops I have put on and no matter what I used to blend I have an huge orange patch on my face. So disappointed and I hope they bring out a light gold like the shade Opal from Becca.

Kirsten

LOVE IT

The best highlighter I have ever used. Easy to blend and it looks beautiful.

RBB

A must have

I have the bronze to darken/ mix with my foundation in the summer and a champagne one for the autumn- winter months. Good to use alone on the body also. Pigmented, high quality liquid highlight. My first time buying the Iconic range but definitely not the last. I highly recommend.

Elitss

I love it

Love it, as a highlighter, as shadow...

LMD

This is the nearest product I’ve found since Clinique stopped their colour palette for sale! I bought the blush but wish I had got original instead......however, it’s a good product and has to be used sparingly !!

They’ve changed formula and It’s not Iconic

They have changed formula and its no longer Iconic

First time I got acquainted with this product was 1.5 ago and it was fabulous. It was one if the best products within a market. I had it in shade Original. A month ago the bottle got empty and I decided to repurchase it. I came up with shade Blush. Honestly guys, what they have done with formula I don't know but it became watery, very low pigmented, twice less of shimmer as it used to have. It gives a slight touch of glow but It’s very poor compared to the old formula. During 3 weeks time I used like 1/3 of bottle already, trying to reach that glow, when with old formula I was using a bottle for almost a year and a half, as it was sooo good and pigmented I needed a pea size drop to get my face shine. Too sad. Will never purchase it again.

A little overhyped

I was so looking forward to trying this after hearing only amazing things about this liquid illuminator. I have to say I was a little disappointed... Personally, I struggled to use it over the top of makeup as a highlighter - it picked up my foundation, making it patchy and I only use a light coverage foundation (MAC Face and Body). I tried with my fingers and a brush and had the same effect. For me, the best way to use it was underneath foundation or using it lightly before setting my makeup. However, I will continue to play around and find the best way to use it. I will say that it is insanely pigmented so you only need a tiny amount and the glow is beautiful and blinding yet natural, but for me, it was definitely an overhyped product!

eva

gorgeous

Beautiful!!! Love to blend a tiny bit to my Armani Luminous Silk foundation for the cheekbones when I want a natural glow - or just go for a BLINDING glow with the highlighter on top of the foundation!

Toni - Glamavan

LOVE-IT!

I absolutely love this product. I wanted to get a dewy glow look and found mixing a couple of drops of the illuminator in with my foundation does the trick and I absolutely love it. Totally transforms matte foundation looks by using the illuminator. Great highlighter too.

Vee

5/5

Amazing!

Камилла

Хороший продукт ***A good product

Может немного сушить кожу, но в целом нравится наносить его под тональную основу. Шиммер может быть для кого крупным и стойкость в среднем 6 часов на жирной коже ***It may dry the skin a little, but in general it is pleasant to apply it under foundation. Shimmer can be a lot as it's buildable and lasts about 6 hours on oily skin.

Marie

A great product

The product gives a really natural glow either mixed with the foundation or on top of it to highlight specific parts. This is by far the best highlighter I tried.

Jp

Better then any powder light

First time user and it's such an incredible product. It's so versatile that you can mix it with your moisturiser or foundation or use in its own... I love mixing it with my foundation :)

Hayley

Great highlighter

I use this liquid highlighter mixed in with either my foundation or moisturiser, gives a lovely glow to the skin without looking sparkly.

Nadezda

Must have.

Ultra light, airy, radiant, versatile product, can be used anywhere. I am really enjoying the miniature I received in my Goody Bag and will be sure to acquire it’s full version when I'm out.

Daniela

Great product

This product does exactly what it promises - natural looking, subtle glow. I use it under the foundation, on cheekbones and the result is simply stunning!

Sabs1992

AMAZING

I was a little dubious at first because I tried the Iconic mascara, which I felt was terrible. However I could not ignore the rave reviews of this highlighter and decided to give it a go. I absolutely LOVE this highlighter which I bought in Glow, as I have brown skin. A little goes a long way and you do not need a make up brush, just use your fingertips! Great product that will last and worth the price, thanks Iconic :-) X

lauraOR

Glow

The perfect comfortable glow in your skin.

Scarlett

In Love!

You have no idea how much this product has changed my life! I bought these in the shade original and shine, I don't think I've ever used another highlighter since! A little goes a long way as you really only need a drop or less. Sometimes when I'm going for a dewy look, I'll mix it in with my foundation or if I want my under eyes to be brighter I'll use it under my foundation. There are so many different uses for these highlighters, the skies really the limit! I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for an intense glow or just a healthier look if you're looking to mix it with your foundation. Best purchase I've ever made!
