Benefit highbeam..

So I finally got the Benefit High beam after hearing great reviews here on gupshup.
It works great on eyebrow bone but I am having a hard time applying it on cheeks as a highligter.
How am I suppose to apply it?
IF i apply it on top of my foundation it makes this cakey mess… and under the foundation would really show much I thought?

Any ideas?
Am i better off getting a powder highlighter instead?
what am i doing wrong?

Thanks,

Sanna

Re: Benefit highbeam..

I have this product too .. I use it over the foundation ... and the way to apply it is , form a C with the brush around the corner of the eye and top of the cheek bone .. and then gently pat it on , dont rub it .. just lightly dab it on ...and make sure you use very little product ... even tiny is too much when it comes to highlighting...

Re: Benefit highbeam..

is this product too shimmery? i heard its too liquidy. is it really worth it? does it give a powdery finish or a dewy finish?

sorry, so many questions! :)
