Our verdict

A superfine golden highlighter powder that blends without streaks for a warm glow. The gold tone suits warm and medium skin more than very cool or fair tones.

Overview

Rather than a cream stick or liquid, Benefit Cookie is a superfine pressed powder that swirls onto the brush and blends into a soft gold shimmer on the cheekbones, nose or Cupid's bow, over makeup or bare skin.

A warm golden glow that blends without fallout is the reason to own it. The gold undertone can look brassy on very fair, cool skin.

Who it's for

Good for daily glow and touch-ups from a small compact. Those who want a cream texture for dry skin should look at a stick highlighter.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Blends without streaks or fallout
  • Buildable from soft to bright
  • Works on bare skin or over makeup
  • Compact pan for travel
Cons
  • Gold tone may not suit cool skin
  • Contains a little synthetic fragrance

Performance notes

Fine pearl particles reflect light where they are placed, and layering builds the intensity. The powder texture blends most easily over set makeup or bare, dry skin.
