LORAC Light Source Mega Beam Highlighter — Gilded Lily Gold 💄

This luminous powder highlighter from LORAC enhances cheekbones, brow bones and cupid’s bow with a reflective gold shimmer that suits evening looks and photo-ready makeup. The Mega Beam formula aims for amplified radiance while remaining buildable for subtle to dramatic glow, and it may be layered for stronger intensity.

Key Points

The highlighter delivers a pearlized finish created by ultra-fine pigments that scatter light for noticeable luminosity. It includes skin-soothing ingredients such as vitamin E, cucumber extract, chamomile extract and willow bark extract, which the brand lists as part of the formulation. The gilded lily gold shade is warm and reflective, making it a good choice for warm and medium skin tones. According to the manufacturer, the formula is crafted to minimize irritation and follow professional makeup standards.

Benefits

This highlighter allows quick sculpting and highlighting with a luminous sheen that reads well in photos and on camera. The microfine pearl pigments help diffuse light rather than create obvious glitter, so the look remains polished. Because the product is buildable, it can work as a soft daytime glow or be intensified for evening makeup by layering.

Usage Recommendations

Apply with a small fan brush or tapered highlighting brush to the tops of cheekbones, bridge of the nose, brow bones and cupid’s bow. For a more daring effect, layer product gradually until you reach the desired shine. Be mindful that very heavy application may emphasize texture, so buff gently if you prefer a more natural finish.

Note a potential limitation: highly textured or mature skin types may prefer cream or liquid highlighters for a smoother visual effect. Also, users with very fair or very deep complexions should test the gilded gold shade first to ensure it complements their undertone.
