So I did try this in more lighting to show you. It RUclips only allows 1 min shorts so I had to get the good info in! The glitter really only shows up in very particular light.
Great investigative work! That's actually very helpful to know. It sounds like it would be great for photography, outdoor, and day events (like weddings), but if you don't like glittery highlighters, avoid it for indoor, low-light situations, or evening occasions.
Honestly those video shots are the ones I want to see in reviews more because it’s more informative on how it will look in real life versus studio lighting. You have no idea how helpful this was. I was so tempted to try but I can’t stand glittery highlighters. I’ll just stick with my Nars and discontinued Becca and Natasha Denona highlighters. Le sigh.
@@ArtzieGrah I haven’t because I’m too fair for those shades. I wear shade Pearl and MAYBE moonstone. I miss their liquid illuminator in pearl so much. It was the perfect highlighter. I had one that I was keeping to compare to other liquid highlighter formulas to try and find an exact dupe. But the formula was so unstable, the bottle exploded. Just from sitting still in a drawer. That’s why the Rare one was appealing because Enlighten is light enough for me. But their liquid looks glittery to me.
@@alexandrrra5627 really?!? I may have to check out the Charlotte one. It’s been tempting me. I’m pretty sure the Makeup by Mario highlighters are beautiful but the lightest shade is apparently different than the rest of the range. I’ve heard it’s more “glittery” If this helps anyone, my top three powder highlighters are: 1. Nars Capri 2. Becca Pearl 3. Natasha Denona Super Glow in #1 Fair Currently the ones tempting me are the CT one in Moonlit Glow and the Bobbi Brown highlighter in Quartz Glow. I’m trying to find a highlighter that isn’t stark white like pearl, but also isn’t too deep for me. It’s been tough.
It just looks like sparkle to me. Twinkle. Light reflective metallic aspect. Like how a diamond catches the light in a dimly lit restaurant. It's allll about perspective.
I realize this is 7 months old but in case you see this: this is my first time seeing you outside of your polished long form videos, and my goodness you're still so handsome! The grey in your beard is gorgeous and I love the casual tee.
Intesresting! And thank you for sharing. That is actually really important. Based on the yellow light, I would never buy it because it is too glittery. I’ve never seen such huge difference. Lighting is obviously super important.
The grey looks amazing on you. I noticed the grey in your brothers hair the other day and said the same to jim. You both look very handsome with the grey. Don't change it! 💜💜💜
So this means Selena can actually perform sorcery & everything that happened in wizards of Waverly place, was real Edit: Now that I've gained my fame, I have to confess that I've never seen the show but vaguely knew the synopsis LMFAO
This made me smile. You once reviewed Keys Soulcare illuminating priming serum (my favorite for a 'no makeup makeup' look) and you said it was too glittery. My reaction was "What? There is no glitter! Just a glow." Now I need to look at it in different light. It works perfectly for my Zoom calls. I guess I won't try to fix what ain't broke!
Very helpful!! I hate doing my makeup in bright light, but I've started checking it afterwards that way. I have a new job with normal office lights, so I have to do my makeup differently than when I work in a gorgeously lit museum...I saw myself in the new office bathroom & I had the go-go glitter look, instead of the subtle glowy look I intended haha! I gotta tone it down anyway, I am in outdoor rec, those folks don't trust glitter lol.
Omg thank you for clearing this up! In my bathroom it looks glittery and I was thinking I was going crazy cause everyone online says it’s not glittery! Lol I also have the shade enlighten which is way to light for me so I need to get a darker one.
I thought i was alone in this because many people was raving about it with glowing reviews but i find it had so much glitter in it.I love highlighters but not like glittery that can be seen from outer space.Thank you.
I remember years ago on RUclips a bunch of RUclipsrs did this thing called the ‘Oreo lick race,’ an obviously sponsored ad, but it was not disclosed as an ad to their young audience. I was around 15 at that time, looked up to these people and ended up buying Oreos because I’d seen these. Would I have bought them if the RUclipsrs had disclosed it was an ad and said that they liked them anyway? Yeah probably. But am I annoyed years later that this disingenuousness is still a thing on tiktok and nothing has really changed? Yes
I don’t understand why so many people dislike glitter! ✨ ✨✨ 😂 Glitter is fun, and sparkly, and shimmery, and fairy-dusty, and just fun lol! I’m 48 years old, and I love glitter, ain’t nobody telling me I shouldn’t 😂 ✨✨
I want to go look at it in person. I haven’t had a chance to go to Sephora yet but all the swatches I e seen from different people look different. Some look darker (using the same color highlighter) and some look glittery while some look metallic. That’s why watching people do swatches on RUclips is so hard.
This is why I personally don’t use highlighter PERIOD!!! If my client wants it, that’s fine. But for me, it’s a no. There’s glitter in EVERY highlighter. And it WILL pick up, in some lighting more than others.
I don't mean to be disrespectful I was just wondering if you're using white liner there in your eybrow or that's just your natural eyebrows ? Love your videos 🙂❤️ your skills are amazing
That’s what it was!?! I was honestly so confused why everyone was saying it wasn’t glittery. I felt like it was the same scenario with the blue/black dress😂
So interesting! I was going to get it, but now I'm not sure🤔🤔 thank you for figuring out what was going on! Haha I was so confused seeing so many people say it's too glittery, then others saying there's no glitter🤣🤷♀️
Bless you, milord! I was going to get this, but unfortunately, I am constantly in yellow lighting... and I also buy makeup or skincare whenever you or your brother show me something pretty like a little raccoon looking at shiny things.
For anyone interested, if you need ro see if somethinf had glitter/shimmer in it, you can film it with your camera flash on, and if you unfocus the camera it will show even stronger 😊
Ugh, lighting changes everything 😩... What's the better lighting to actually apply your makeup in? That would be a great video to do Robert. Under what kind of lighting is better to apply your makeup for day or night wear. Cus i really have no idea about that sort of thing.
Glitter or not,this highlighter is beautiful and great for a natural look. I still have my becca highlighter but I can't finish it because it's just too much...
Great investigative work! That's actually very helpful to know. It sounds like it would be great for photography, outdoor, and day events (like weddings), but if you don't like glittery highlighters, avoid it for indoor, low-light situations, or evening occasions.
Exactly!
i kinda like the way it transforms in different lights weirdly enough!
Thank you - that's so helpful 🤎
It's not glittery...every highlighter has that effect bare minimum in the light
I like how it transforms, I think it’s part of its charm. Has realizing this change your opinion on it, do you still love it???
Crazy how the slightest lighting change can make a whole new eyeshadow lol
It’s not eyeshadow it’s highlighter
@@stephme2686any powder product can be eyeshadow if you want it to be. I’ve used highlighter as an eyeshadow before 🤷🏼♀️
I love the grey beard Robert! I love seeing people embrace going grey more, I think it's quite attractive.
I thought I was going crazy with how many people said there was no glitter in this 😭 bless you
Same!
Forget the glitter, how gorgeous is Robert in this video?????
Girl, he's gorgeous period!! 😍
I’ve just started binging him and his face is just PERFECT! It’s makes sense that his face is duplicated 😂😍

Wasn't The Balm one glitter-less as well?
Have you tried the new Smaahbox × Becca highlighter? They have brought Champagne Pop as C-Pop..

New Charlotte Tilbury highlighter looks good! Also Mario's to me feels pretty close to Becca formula. And both have light shades

Yep, I have the pink one and it's a glitter bomb in my makeup light and then at work, no glitter.🤷♀️
it's mica shimmering, not actual glitter
I LOVE the grey in your beard!! ❤❤❤❤ you look EXTRA EXTRA handsome 😮
Love that you follow up on products and are so honest. Have learnt so much from you 🖤💜
Amazing how light can effect everything x
Appreciate this! I don't mind a glittery highlight but it's still nice to know what exactly you're gonna look like throughout the day lol
It just looks like sparkle to me. Twinkle. Light reflective metallic aspect. Like how a diamond catches the light in a dimly lit restaurant. It's allll about perspective.

I love the glittery is gorgeous… looks so subtle is like fairy dust
Hm I wonder how this would look on stage or in club lighting. This kind of highlighter that seems to change textures would be great for drag lol
The grey looks amazing on you. I noticed the grey in your brothers hair the other day and said the same to jim. You both look very handsome with the grey. Don't change it! 💜💜💜
So this means Selena can actually perform sorcery & everything that happened in wizards of Waverly place, was real
Edit:
Now that I've gained my fame, I have to confess that I've never seen the show but vaguely knew the synopsis LMFAO
so true bestie
🏆
everything is not what it seems afterall xD
Of course.. what did you think? ;D
Well she is the head wizard!
Robert, the gray is so handsome!
As a hair stylist- lighting can wreak sooo much havoc for no reason 😭
That’s actually kind of cool! It’s like a 2-in-1 depending on where you’re using it.
You are so freaking dedicated to your work and I love it! ❤
Robert with gray hairs looking 10/10 👏🏻💖
this is why you are one of my favorite MUAs on youtube
i love the grey, robert!💚
love that grey in your beard and hair.. silver fox!!!

Actually living for the grey.
I still want to try! 🪩✨ and the grey looks so good on you 🧔🏻🖤🤍
Let it go gray baby! Its handsome!
Okay, but glitter in highlighter is nice. I wanna look like a shiny, glittery fairy princess when i wear it. Glitter makes it fancy
Omg thank you for clearing this up! In my bathroom it looks glittery and I was thinking I was going crazy cause everyone online says it’s not glittery! Lol I also have the shade enlighten which is way to light for me so I need to get a darker one.

just wanna say, the grey suits you! you look very handsome ❤

It's still as pretty as those oreos tasted im sure😉🤣🫶🏽
Omgggggg didn’t believe the swatches until you showed it WOW that’s actually so crazy :O thank you for showing this
Love this vibe! Feels like FaceTime 😂 it’s fun
Wow, this is so helpful! Thank you Robert for sharing and clarifying!
Yes! Lighting changes EVERYTHING! 👍🏼😧🤣🙄
Wow, Thank you for explaining that. That clears a lot up.
Love that you clarified! I also love this video of you without all the lighting, you look amazing!!❤❤
I don’t understand why so many people dislike glitter! ✨ ✨✨ 😂 Glitter is fun, and sparkly, and shimmery, and fairy-dusty, and just fun lol! I’m 48 years old, and I love glitter, ain’t nobody telling me I shouldn’t 😂 ✨✨
Same!! I just want easily-accessible biodegradable glitter and then we’ve hit Heaven!!😻😻😻
I’m really liking the grey beard! Very beautif as always
That is so interesting! It would be wonderful to include that distinction in future makeup videos.
I knew I wasn't crazy! I was like ugh why does everyone like these so Much?! 🙄 mid for me. Gorgeous on the eye!
Omfg 😩 I was so excited that it didn't actually have glitter! Thank you for the update/revision lol 🙏 we love you!
There's no such thing as too much glitter when you are a star and needs to shine 😎✨
Oh you going grey now?! I love it! You look so good right here. You look like everyone else looks.
Grey and handsome!
I want to go look at it in person. I haven’t had a chance to go to Sephora yet but all the swatches I e seen from different people look different. Some look darker (using the same color highlighter) and some look glittery while some look metallic. That’s why watching people do swatches on RUclips is so hard.
Now, I want that highlighter even more because I LOVE glitter
I love how the glitter pranked you. LoL 🤣 Gotta love how easily amused I can be!
Ohhh I haven't seen you for years!!!! You look so handsome I must say x
I love the white hair ❤️❤️
This is why I personally don’t use highlighter PERIOD!!! If my client wants it, that’s fine. But for me, it’s a no. There’s glitter in EVERY highlighter. And it WILL pick up, in some lighting more than others.
Omg, Robert, I LOVE the grey!! 🖤🤍❤️🔥
Wow! I didn't recognize you. It's been months since I seen you. No shade just look different. Thanks for sharing this👍🏼😇
The grey looks good Robert 🙂
I noticed this with my daughters hair tinsel too. The yellow lights at my parents house make it sparkle more than anywhere else
I love our handsome makeup detective! 🔎
Wow!! Thank you for figuring it all out!
I love this update so much! Can you please incorporate different lighting in your testing videos as well?
Sidenote, I love the way that you say "glitter" 🥰🥰😊✨✨✨
I love the grey hair!
I love that you revisited this debate and closed the loop.
I love the fact that it's glittery in certain lighting and I will be buying one staT
Thanks for the update! I saw your original. I never buy hi-lighter but it’s cool u do your due diligence 😊
So before I go out, I just have to check to see what type of lighting the place will have
We have to start calling to ask 😂
I have a makeup mirror that has three different light settings. White light, neutral light, and warm/yellow light. Really comes in handy.
I’m sorry if this is weird but you’re so beautiful! 🥹
Wow! I’m not even more concerned about buying something and getting it home and it being a glitter bomb.
I don't mean to be disrespectful I was just wondering if you're using white liner there in your eybrow or that's just your natural eyebrows ?
Love your videos 🙂❤️ your skills are amazing
One of my favorites things about you is your scar. But low light highlights particles
That’s what it was!?! I was honestly so confused why everyone was saying it wasn’t glittery. I felt like it was the same scenario with the blue/black dress😂
And stuff like this is why you are the best. Thank you
That is a beautiful highlighter and I cannot wait until my Dry January make-up edition is over because I’m sooo getting it. 💖🖤💖🖤💖🖤
Loving your look
So interesting! I was going to get it, but now I'm not sure🤔🤔 thank you for figuring out what was going on! Haha I was so confused seeing so many people say it's too glittery, then others saying there's no glitter🤣🤷♀️
Glitter or no glitter, I love the highlighter! I have two shades and adore them both
Excellent work, Mr. Holmes
Bless you, milord! I was going to get this, but unfortunately, I am constantly in yellow lighting... and I also buy makeup or skincare whenever you or your brother show me something pretty like a little raccoon looking at shiny things.
Thank you for coming back to clarify.
For anyone interested, if you need ro see if somethinf had glitter/shimmer in it, you can film it with your camera flash on, and if you unfocus the camera it will show even stronger 😊
Me: "that grey looks do good on him"
Robert second later: "Oh, I look so grey." 🙈
Ugh, lighting changes everything 😩... What's the better lighting to actually apply your makeup in? That would be a great video to do Robert. Under what kind of lighting is better to apply your makeup for day or night wear. Cus i really have no idea about that sort of thing.
It’s nice seeing you without makeup I never have before 😂
Please continue the white light vs. yellow light comparison! It's more helpful than you realize!!!
Glitter or not,this highlighter is beautiful and great for a natural look. I still have my becca highlighter but I can't finish it because it's just too much...
People need to understand that kelvin (color temperature) plays a HUGE role in how something looks like.
I love the liquid highlighter ❤🎉
It reminds me of one of Jeffery stars highlighters that in one light looks very glittery and another metallic
I actually love glitter highlighters🥰
I dint mind a bit of glitter, I think I'd like it, coz I'm good either way ☺️😍💃🏼
Robert looks so nice in his salt n pepper beard oml 😩
Omg IKR! I fucking love it! Silver fox like! So hot! 😉
Oh wow, thats a huge difference!
You really are doin God's work 😂 Thank You!! This was sooo helpful♥️
Oh yes it’s reflective glitter, it’s still gorgeous ❤
We old women remember when we called it "frosted".
I have the same with the charlotte tilbury powder in the white compact
I'm trynna shine bright & be a star like Eve the doll!lmaoo I'm getting this ASAP!
