Benefit High Beam Highlighter Liquid Luminizer, and $1 Dupe

Benefit's High Beam is a popular liquid luminizer, meant to highlight the high points of the face such as the cheekbones, bridge of the nose and cupid's bow. I really love highlighters because they can add such a natural glow and dewiness to the skin. While the High Beam by Benefit will cost you over $20, I have found a dupe from ELF Cosmetics that looks JUST like the High Beam, but only costs $1!

There are many shades of the Shimmering Facial Whip available, but the one that I think most closely matches the High Beam is the "Lilac Petal" shade.

In my product throwdown shown above, I swatched both the Benefit High Beam and ELF Cosmetics Shimmering Facial Whip onto the back of my hand. I did not set either of these with powder, obviously, as they were on the back of my hand. By the end of the day I did notice that the ELF Shimmering Facial Whip had worn off, but the Benefit was still there. It is clear to me that with the price difference, so comes a difference in longevity. I would still buy the ELF product over the Benefit, just because the price difference is so huge. I can always set my ELF Shimmering Facial Whip with a little powder to make sure it lasts all day, though this extra step may not be necessary with the Benefit High Beam.
