NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP, Jumbo Multi-Use Face Highlighter Stick - Apple Pie

*This the Jumbo Face Highlight Stick, not new types of Jumbo Eye Sticks; earlier reviewers were confused by it. I bought this hoping to use it as a cream eyeshadow rather than a highlighter and it's beautiful. The formula is very creamy and emollient so it glides on without tugging and I didn't experience any fallout or eye irritation. It blends easily but remains slightly tacky and although it can crease, a few pats with a finger or brush will smooth them out. Vanilla Ice Cream is a very bright icy white with a sparkling metallic finish that applies relatively opaque but can be sheered out for more translucency. It's beautiful as a one and done look, paired with powder shadows as an all over lid color and/or as an inner corner/brow bone highlight. I'm vampire pale and sometimes white shades blend in and are difficult to see but even with hooded lids, this brings a stunning pop of light to my dark brown, almost black, eyes Although icy white highlights suit my skintone well, this is much too sparkly to use on my face so I've only worn it on my eyes. I definitely recommend it but because this isn't made specifically for the eyes, those looking for a traditional shadow stick that sets down, lasts all day and doesn't crease will likely be disappointed.

### Review: NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Jumbo Multi-Use Face Highlighter Stick - Vanilla Ice Cream #### Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5) I recently added the NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Jumbo Multi-Use Face Highlighter Stick in Vanilla Ice Cream to my makeup collection, and it has quickly become one of my go-to products for achieving a radiant glow. #### What I Loved: **1. Super Creamy Texture:** The first thing I noticed about this highlighter stick is its incredibly creamy texture. It glides onto the skin effortlessly, making application a breeze. The formula is smooth and blendable, allowing for a seamless, natural-looking highlight. **2. Versatile and Multi-Use:** This highlighter stick is truly versatile. While it works beautifully on the high points of the face such as the cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of the nose, it can also be used on the eyelids for a subtle shimmer or on the cupid's bow for an extra pop. Its multi-use capability makes it a fantastic addition to any makeup bag. **3. Gorgeous Shade:** The Vanilla Ice Cream shade is stunning. It has a beautiful, pearlescent quality that adds a luminous glow to the skin without being overly glittery. It's perfect for both daytime and evening looks, providing a soft, radiant finish that enhances your natural beauty. #### Areas for Improvement: **1. Staying Power:** One thing to note is that this highlighter is not very long-lasting if you tend to rub your face. If you accidentally touch or rub your eyes, the product can come off quite easily. To ensure it stays put, I recommend setting it with a light dusting of translucent powder or using a setting spray. **2. Packaging:** While the jumbo size is great for ease of application, it might not be the most convenient for precise highlighting in smaller areas. However, using a brush or your fingers to blend can help achieve more detailed application. #### Final Thoughts: Overall, the NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Jumbo Multi-Use Face Highlighter Stick in Vanilla Ice Cream is a fantastic product for achieving a radiant, dewy look. Its creamy texture and beautiful shade make it a pleasure to use, and its versatility adds extra value. Just remember to avoid rubbing your face to maintain its gorgeous glow throughout the day. If you’re looking for an easy-to-apply, multi-functional highlighter that delivers a lovely, luminous finish, this one is definitely worth trying.

Perfectly cool toned highlight color, a very tiny amount goes way longer than you would think, will totally buy again

I use the Blueberry Muffin on my lips and finish with a lip gloss. So pretty!

It’s ok! I would not use this as a replacement for highlight, it is not long lasting enough for me and can look chalky. (I am a liquid highlight fan) but for inner eye corner it is pretty. You can layer over your normal highlight too. Bought for my Halloween costume since it was a cheap option. It is smooth and easy to apply but be aware it is thick so you will not get precision. I do like that it is twistable too!

Desperately needed a white highlighter! It isn't how I thought it would look, but it definitely still did the job! I recommend adjusting your makeup routine because it can and will take off any powders (blush, setting powder, and any other kinds) in the process of spreading it. It's like putting a cream on top of powder. It's very shiny, which is exactly what I wanted! However, if you're someone who doesn't like super shiny things, you can definitely sheer it out, as it needs a couple of wipes to get it really shiny. You definitely want to add very little at a time, but I usually go in heavy because, again, I love it! Also my titles a bit dramatic.

Parfait

Not good,very liquid, doesn't stay on

I had someone stop me the other day I was wearing this to say they loved my eye makeup. This was the only change in my regular routine. So easy, lovely quality! AND clearly, it looks good!
