Review 1 for Compact Shine On
My 2nd favorite highlighter
-06.17.13
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage, high quality, gives a healthy glow, i recommend it!
Great color, high quality. Definitely worth the money. I grabbed this the other day because I have been pretty lazy in the mornings lately so I wanted something quick when I don't want to take the time (which isn't much but still.... :p) to blend in my Watt's Up! from Benefit, which is my go to product. I like it a lot and I would recommend it to others(:

Review 2 for Compact Shine On
SO shiny!
-06.03.13
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
But in a good way! I purchased this in the lighter shade kind of on a whim (because I love the MUFE brand) and I am so happy that I did. You can use it as a brow highlight, a cheek highlight or (because I am super pale) I can use it all over my face for an instant pick me up. It makes me look refreshed and bright without looking over the top. you also get a ton of product in the actual compact and the packaging seems quite sturdy.

Review 3 for Compact Shine On
High shimmer
-05.03.13
Quick Take: medium shimmer, highlights
This product delivers. I needed a shimmer/highlighting powder for more dramatic/nighttime makeup and this is spot on.
The highlight effect doesn't fade and the product does not go everywhere upon application. This formula is high-grade. Just what I expected from Make Up Forever.

Dries out my skin
-04.14.13
I bought this and loved the illuminizing effect but after a week the soft skin at my temples began to crepe and look scaly. Too bad it wasn't a bit more nourishing.

Review 7 for Compact Shine On
Great highlighter
-02.28.13
Quick Take: soft shimmer, subtle
I purchased this as my first highlighter and really love it! It adds the perfect amount of subtle glow, without looking obvious or too shimmer/glittery. I use a blush brush to apply it to my cheekbones, forehead, and down my nose at the very end of my makeup routine (after bronzer and blush). It softens everything and highlights wonderfully. Would definitely buy again.

Review 8 for Compact Shine On

A decent powder
-01.27.13
I got this because I lost my usual Chantacaille compact and couldn't get to Barney's to replace it. It isn't comparable at all, but it's a decent pressed powder. I like the shimmer--it isn't too much.

Review 11 for Compact Shine On
I'm luminized.
-12.04.12
I use this down the bridge of my nose, my cupids bow, and tops of cheekbones. I will use my finger to set makeup under my eyes. I am really impressed with the perfect amount of sheen.

Review 12 for Compact Shine On
Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for!
-11.28.12
I'm really fair. So in the winter if I'm not careful I look half dead. Bronzer just makes my face look dirty. But highlighting powder under my eyes and on the bridge of my nose is my trick to not looking like a corpse. Many are too sparkly, or too pink to work for this. This is just perfect. It is champagne colored instead and just barely shimmers. It is also very silky and holds up to all day wear.

Quick Take: soft shimmer
Amazing shimmer. This looks so natural and radiant on the cheekbones
Not sure why it came with a powder puff, but I apply it with afan brush. For me the luminesce lasted all day. I'm glad that it wasn't like glitter,but more of a soft natural shimmer whichis exactly what I was going for. Love it!

Review 17 for Compact Shine On
Unique and versatile, but fragile.
-07.23.12
Quick Take: sheer coverage, natural looking
I am pretty fair skinned so I got shade #3. This is the first thing from MUFE that isn't a five star product for me. I purchased this initially to pair with Mat Bronze as a highlighter to the bronzer's contouring, or to add some sheen to my bronzer application. It does a good job at both. The shimmer is very subtle and nice, and isn't too silvery, frosted, or glittery. It gives your face a glow that looks natural. The sheen from this is unlike anything else I own. The description says it contains pearl particles and that's a pretty accurate way to describe the sheen; it's very smooth with no detectable shimmer particles. The powder is extremely soft so it glides on the face and is easy to blend. It is buildable although it is so sheer that it builds slowly enough so that you don't look too shiny too soon.
The reason why I took off one star is that the powder is so soft that it easily breaks. I purchased this the first time in store and took it home only to find it badly cracked. I exchanged it the next day, but the second compact was chipped on the edges as well. I took it to a different Sephora thinking the Sephora I purchased from might have had a roughly handled shipment, exchanged it for a second time for a THIRD compact, and ended up again with one with a small chip on the edge. I decided to just deal with it, but I'm nervous about putting it in my makeup kit or my purse when I'm on the go. Maybe I had exceptionally bad luck but I wish it weren't so fragile.

Love Compact Shine On
-07.09.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer
This stuff is great, simple to apply and really completes my overall look. Before, I felt like my skin looks kind of dull, and was missing that natural dewy look. This did the trick, without making me look greasy. Currently, I'm only using it on the cheekbones, but I plan on experimenting with it more.

Review 20 for Compact Shine On
Great product

Quick Take: soft shimmer
I love this product so much, it makes my skin look like Porcelain. I usually put it on with a large blush brush and it leaves my skin feeling silky and smooth.
