Nice subtle glow

great highlighter, not too 'stroby'
The VINCENT LONGO La Bella Luce Highlighter in Patina color is a finely milled highlighter in a multi-color, 'multi-tonal' palette that is more of a golden/bronze shade - some rose gold, some bronze, but nothing too dark. I'm usually a 'winter' color palette and fair skinned, and this went well with my coloring, to my surprise (I would have picked the 'flora' shade if I had my choice). Much like the name - patina - this gives a nice, not too bright highlighting, but something subtle if you want to get a little brightening effect for your 'high points' (cheekbones, forehead, bow of lips, nose, etc.) or all over your face. You can control the amount by how much you use. The black case is solid and closes well, but isn't too difficult to open, and I used my own brush (I don't know too many products like this that come with their own brush) to swirl around the highlighter and apply. It applied easily and I didn't notice any product fallout.All and all, I'm very pleased with this highlighter - I've used Hourglass and Becca before, and think this is just as good as those brands. It will definitely help to brighten up your face.

Super finely milled, easy to apply for a glow or a dramatic shine
Beautifully packaged in a small but substantial 3 1/2" round black plastic compact that closes firmly but opens easily, this rose gold highlighter is a real treat. Multi-tonal small chunks have been compressed together to create a finely-milled highlighter that includes creamy-gold, rose-gold, and beige-gold. Use your own brush or other applicator to pick up the powder and deposit it lightly wherever you want a glow.The Patina color is surprisingly versatile and worked wonderfully on my cool, light-colored skin. I think it would work on all skin tones because it includes both warm and cool undertones. While I am older and must highlight sparingly, this product is so fine and smooth that someone with fewer wrinkles could use it lavishly. In fact, if you do a search online you will find photos of models with the highlighter generously applied over the entire face and neck. It's an effect I don't care for, but someone will. The more important quality for me is that the highlighter goes on lightly if I use a light hand and can be made more dramatic by applying more. There is never a glittery quality to the shine, which I greatly appreciate. If you like highlighters, I highly recommend this one!

Gorgeous marbled highlighter
This is a gorgeous highlighter. I ordered the Patina color. The bronze color mixed in with the golden highlight helps to make sure that the highlighter blends well with your skin while still highlighting the desired areas gorgeously. I really like this for highlighting my cheeks. I also like to highlight the area above my lips in the center and the inner part of my eyes. This product works for that too. I just use a small brush like an eyeshadow brush to apply it there.This highlighter is huge and will last for a really long time. The Vincent Longo brand seems to be a great brand. The highlighter seems to be really well made. It is a little pricey at $32 per highlighter. I will say that I like a different highlighter better for my smaller areas and I could just use that one on my cheeks. Therefore, I probably would not buy this one again. I am happy to have it though. If you are looking for a new highlighter, I would recommend trying it.

I swear I'm looking younger with this highlighter. Hooray!
Being an older lady I was concerned about this highlighter showing too much when it comes to the nooks and crannies, or what they're really called...wrinkles, on my face. Well, that is not the case if applied with just a light dusting! I'm happy to report that this Vincent Longo cosmetic product called La Bella Luce (translated: Beautiful Light or Glow) is fabulous! I applied a very light dusting with one of my brushes, first on my cheeks, then all over my face to get the whole effect. This was put on over my liquid makeup and powder blush and the look was perfection! I swear, I looked younger with a lovely youthful glow! The highlighter (color: Patina) is more of a beige/tan color, and I'm very fair, but it is exactly the perfect shade. It went on smoothly and evenly and stayed all day. I'm very pleased with this new addition to my collection of cosmetics.

Imparts a lovely golden sheen
This is such a lovely highlighter! As you can see from the attached photo, it has multiple colors in it, and creates a lovely, soft glow. I'm slightly obsessed with highlighters and have quite a few in my collection, and this one reminds me the most of Jaclyn Hill's Becca Champagne Pop highlighter.I'm fair and cool-toned (I wear MAC foundation in NW20), and this adds a nice warmth to my skin. It also doesn't cake up or feel chalky on my skin, which is important since I'm in my mid-40's and worry about powders settling into my fine lines.I'm really impressed with this!

Subtle brightness
A little bit of highlighter goes A LONG WAY - so basically you'll be using this pallet for the rest of your life.This goes on well, is CLEARLY present (so go easy), and adds a little bit of subtle brightness to your face.This does not come with a brush or applicator of any kind, so I used a small brush I had from one of my sets. You could definitely use your ring finger too for blending, though.
