I am more of a “natural glowey skin” liking person than someone who would choose OTT dazzling highlighting glow on their faces. I have nothing against that kind of glow though; in fact I absolutely love it on others, but just not on me! Blessed with good skin genes, I have a very basic skincare routine which sufficiently caters to reducing dullness et al. But I am forever in search of a good and more importantly a “subtle” highlighter which can add a “natural” glow on my face. Something which doesn’t scream “I-have-got-glitter-on-my-face” and yet make people wonder “what DOES she do for her skin?” ;) Ha Ha! Let’s see if Swiss Beauty Highlighting Primer served my purpose.

My experience on using it: The product usage instructions on the box ask us to use it twice: Once mixed with base makeup like BB cream or foundation in the ratio of 1:1 and after that some extra to be dabbed in the areas where you need more shine like cheekbones. It may also be used alone to brighten our skin is what they claim as well. I am personally not very enthusiastic about base makeup on a regular basis. I do have pigmentation around my mouth and deep-set dark circles, but still foundation and I are not best of friends. So quite obviously, I chose to use the first pump of the product on my bare skin.

The product in itself looks like a pearly white water-based moisturizer with a
beautiful golden sheen. This is probably the most finely milled
golden glitter in a liquid product that I have ever seen. It absorbs REALLY
quickly into the skin and there is absolutely no greasy feel at all. The
golden glow is unmistakable yet very VERY subtle. Not quite deep golden highlighted
effect that I got from Inglot AMC Face and Body Illuminator which I had
got for my wedding six years back (read its review HERE).
So if you like a dazzling glow, then this highlighter might not be for you.
On top of foundation laden face (for lack of better phrase!), the Swiss Beauty Highlighting Primer looks a tad more prominent, but still I would say it is a lot more forgiving and wearable than most high-end highlighters I have used till now. You know what is the best part about owning a subtle highlighter? You can literally wear this highlighter every day and actually finish that bottle instead of waiting EONS for a special occasion to come up!
The highlighter also
gives a kind of smoothening to skin while leaving a delicate floral scent. I have been using it for a few months now and so
far it has not caused any sort of skin irritation for me.
I feel my skin gets a beautiful natural glow when I
use this primer-highlighter. The effect is not cakey, chunky or over-the-top
at all. However, you can always go overboard with any product if you layer
it too much. For me, a tiny amount is sufficient to cover my whole face. But
since the product offers a barely-there kind of highlighting, for evenings you
can definitely try layering more for a prominent effect. Here I have only the highlighter on my skin which was prepped with some aloevera gel and a sunscreen.
