Bobbi Brown Highlighter Review

Packaging Design

Packaging of Bobbi Brown Highlighter is minimal , made of hard plastic. It feels sturdy and simple. Not chic but simple. It has Bobbie Brown writing on top. It is not luxurious packaging.

Texture & Formula

The formula is dry, not creamy, and does not blend into the skin like other high end highlighters. It contains small shimmer particles not too large. But still noticeable which makes it more suitable for targeted highlighting rather than all over glow.

As you see photo above, it has strong light but it is not like wet looking.

Longevity

The longevity is decent. It lasts for several hours without fading. Especially on smaller areas like the eyes.

Price & Value

The price is on the higher side. Compared to other brands with smoother, more versatile formulas, I think it is a bit overpriced. It is worth trying first to see if the texture works for you.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Bobbi Brown Highlighter is a product that works better for targeted use rather than full face highlighting. It performs nicely for small, precise areas like the inner corners of the eyes or subtle accents on the brow bone. In these areas, the formula gives a clean and controlled glow without looking messy.

However, for cheekbones or larger areas of the face, the texture feels too dry and does not melt into the skin. Because of this, it can sit on top of the skin rather than blending seamlessly, especially if you have dry or textured skin. When compared to other high end highlighters on the market, it feels less versatile and less forgiving.

Considering the price point, I personally expect a smoother and more adaptable formula. For that reason, I strongly recommend trying this highlighter in store before buying, so you can see how it applies on your own skin and decide if it fits your makeup style.
