immediate healthy look
-06.02.13
despite being very pale, this light gel gave me a fantastic natural healthier colored look. Will buy over and over (although it is quite expensive for its size...). I like the fact that it is not shiny glittery at all!

Quick Take: soft shimmer
i received this as a gift for Christmas and it's March and I've already purchased my second tube. This stuff is awesome! I love the dewy look it gives me along with some color.
Everyone should have one!

great for poolside or quick makeup
-03.14.13
I love this; can't wait to use for summer when i don't want to wear makeup but need color that looks like i have been in the sun. Great for poolside or going to the beach over sunscreen of course! you will look like you already had some sun, not real dark.

Not impressed
-02.17.13
I have used all the best products sephora has ever showcased. It's very hard to find a skin-glow product that stays put.
First, you need to prime your skin, so this product actually shows up. And second..it doesn't last!!!!
If you have any type of age spot or redness you need to first apply spot concealer..make sure your imperfections are covered. Then apply this product...you will see an immediate glow..but not for long.
You need to re-apply anytime you want to see that glowy fresh look.
I personally think it's too expensive for the small tube and if you want a glow to your cheeks, apply a drop of lipgloss to your cheeks..pat it in...THERE'S YOUR GLOW!!!!

BEYOND AMAZING, FANTASTIC, WONDERFUL PRODUCT!
-01.11.13
Quick Take: sheer coverage, just perfect to use!!!, subtle buildable color, beautiful glow!
I have looked at this product for over a year, and everytime I went to Sephora (which is a lot!), I would always forget to check it out in person, well finally I remembered and OMG is this a fantastic product!!!! It is in my top 5 must always have in my make-up bag/medicine cabinet!!!!!
Ok the only thing is I do not know how to classify it?!! I use my primer first then apply this, and be aware that it is not instant color, it is very llight which is good b/c it is buildable, incredily light and feels so good on my skin, not heavy, not drying and not greasy honestly it is just simply perfect!!! it gives you sublte color but also gives this glow from within not overpowering or shimmery just healthy, I guess is how I would describe it. And I swear to God it is improving my skin, now it says nothing in the descrip about doing so BUT since I have been using it (about 2/3 weeks now) my skin is clearer, softer and just great looking. I keep reading reviews and the description but nothing mentioned about it being to help improve but I swear it has!!!!!
Sephora has a great return policy so there is nothing to lose with buying and trying!!! I really love it. I have sensitive, oily,dry, attitudey skin! LOL, and for me no prob!!! People tell me I have olive skin (looks more fair to me) but either way this just gives such a nice light hint of color, it lasts and just smoothes everything out!!! Necessary for everyone to try!!!!!

Not for my fair skin tone
-12.13.12
Quick Take: more like an instant self tanner
The color in this wasn't right for my fair skin tone. I put this on my face and I was left with a slight brick color (reddish-brown). I always blend my makeup into my neck but with this it wasn't very blendable and I had to apply more to my neck and upper chest because the color difference between my skin with this on and without was too much, it was more like an instant self tanner than a luminizing glow. I think this would probably be a lot nicer for medium skin tones.

Weird and Wonderful
-12.01.12
Quick Take: radiant, good for skin
A mix of little color capsules do burst on the skin and instantly mix into this wonderful radiance that makes your skin look fresh and pretty. I'm super pale, but I can imagine it on dark skin as well. Just a perfect hint of color and shine without being a makeup or even a BB cream. And it moisturizes and does overall nice things for your skin that makeup never could.

I normally don't like any type of tint or "glow" products since they usually don't match up well to my actual skin color but this product works very well; I was surprised at how well it blends and gives a subtle glow at the same time.

Light skinned girls, use as foundation adjuster!
-07.15.12
Quick Take: sheer coverage, adjusts foundation color
I have light cool toned complexion and I hate to use self tanners on my face because it "yellows" my skin and I look like I have jaundice.
So.....how to self tan the body and match the makeup without risking your skin tone? Use Mister Radiant!!
I found that this product, mixed in with my foundation, helps me match my face to my body, when I use self tanning products on my arms and chest area.
Go to an area with good light and dab one dose of your foundation on the back of your hand. Put a little bit of Mister Radiant on top and mix it in until you see your foundation color matching the rest of your skin color.
This way, you can adjust the color darker or lighter depending on how faux dark you are everywhere else - WITHOUT having to risk an orangey yellow face that takes days on end to wash away. And...because this product is a gel, it doesn't create a heavy consistency to your foundation and if fact, it gives it a slightly dewier feel without adding shimmer.
I love this stuff as a great foundation adjuster!

I don't think I'll be able to live without this
-07.07.12
Quick Take: sheer coverage, makes your skin one shade darker
I love this thing. It's perfect for the summer time cause it doesn't cover but it heals the skin while giving it some sort of coverage. I don't understand what is that makes it so expensive though, it should be a lot cheaper.

Mr. Radiant is really Mr. Self Tanner
-03.23.12
Radiant and self tanner are not the same thing to me. I'm a fair skinned girl. I'm fine with that. This product really showed up on me as a self tanner. Not what I'm looking for. I'd buy that at the drugstore. It think if you're a darker skinned person this wouldn't show up .

Use as a Primer
-01.20.12
Quick Take: sheer coverage, tint of color
I personally use this a a makeup Primer, with a hint of color (which helps a lot in Winter months). Then, I apply my Givenchy Makeup, after waiting a minute or so. Love they way the "beads" break, and burst with the tan color.

Nice product
-12.17.11
Quick Take: sheer coverage
I am on my second tube. This is great for days when you want just a hint of color. Sometimes I just brush it on and head out the door. Other days, I buff a loose powder onto the skin after this application and it doubles as a lightweight foundation with just the perfect amount of coverage. It's a bit pricy but it does last me about six months as I don't use it every day. Perfect for fair to medium skin tones.

color but not a foundation
-12.03.11
I am so glad I discovered this product. I have never liked foundation- usually end up mixing a tiny bit in a moisturizer- and so-called tinted creams are in my experience, basically the same-But this product is different: you put a refreshing, transparent jelly on your face and inside it, small pearls of color explode as you rub it in your skin: the result is completely natural-looking.

Glow!
-09.26.11
I have yellow-toned skin and am in the tan(ner) side right now and this product added such a beautiful, soft subtle glow. The skin, indeed, looks radiant and the vitamin E is nourishing. I still highlight cheekbones, forehead and nose with Laura Mercier bronzing powder a bit too. Love the look, Mister Radiant now replaced my Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer for the fall/winter months. Give it a try!

Worth the price
-07.09.11
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage, long lasting, lightweight
I love this stuff! Yes it is small and pricey, but we all need to splurge once and a while, right?? And it is worth the splurge! It is a super light gel with these colored little balls that give your face a FABULOUS glow! It is like a VERY light bronzer and illuminator in one product. It made my skin feel very soft and not oily at all, even hours later. I even wore it to an outdoor concert during hot weather, and it lasted! I am really happy with this product. I would have given it 5 stars, but it is on the pricey side for its size.
