MeMeMe Beat the Blues Highlighter

The MeMeMe Beat the Blues highlighter retails from Superdrug for £4.99. This is supposed to be a dupe for the Benefit Highbeam which retails for around £16.50. The Beat the Blues highlighter claims to highlight areas which are applied without looking shimmery.

Do you want to get that sexy J-Lo glow? If yes then this is definitely the product for you. To be honest I had always put off buying highlighters as to be honest I do like more of a matte look. However, I did notice that whenever I used a blush that had a little shimmer my face looked brighter so I decided to make an impulse purchase whilst on holiday and get this item.

If you aren't too familiar with highlighter basically you apply them to place that you want to catch the light and be emphasised. For example, you would apply this just above the cheekbones (to give you cheek bones Naomi Campbell would be jealous of) on the cupids bow (to make you lips look plumper like Angelina Jolie's) and down the bridge of your nose (to give you a nose as great as Megan Fox'es).

I had seen this highlighter before and always thought that it just looked like a glittery nail varnish and I couldn't really understand why people were raving about it. The first time I tried it I was amazed. My skin looked perkier and fresher, this is amazing on mature skins. I put some on my mom and she she loved how she could see her cheekbones. It is not glittery at all trust me I have studied this when it is on my face and there is no glitter particles.

The applicator is like that of a nail varnish. I don't wear this product everyday as to be honest I do love looking matte, however, when I am going to parties or just looking tired this great for looking perky and pretty. If you want an understated glow all over mix a little of this in with your foundation as it really does brighten the skin. Or you can use this if you have the perfect foundation great colour great coverage but you don't like how matte it makes your skin as this will help you achieve that dewy effect.

Overall, this is a great product that I know I will use for years to come.
