Overview
Not a liquid or cream glow, Benefit Cookie is a superfine powder highlighter in a warm golden pearl. It sweeps onto cheekbones, nose and cupid's bow and builds evenly over bare skin or makeup.
Warm gold shimmer that blends without effort suits a wide range of complexions. Powder can catch on dry patches, and it will not survive sweat or rain.
Who it's for
Daily glow and evening glam over makeup or bare skin. Those with very dry, flaky skin may prefer a cream or liquid formula.
Pros and cons
- Featherlight, silky powder
- Warm golden tone
- Long free-from list
- Not water resistant
- Powder can catch on dry skin
- Fragrance claims conflict in listing
Performance notes
Superfine particles spread thin, so the number of brush passes governs how bright the glow gets. Shimmer reflects light most on smooth skin and shows texture where skin is rough.
