    Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.

    What the gurus are saying

    The sheer, buildable formula delivers a soft glow that reviewers praise for looking luminous without weight. Pat it onto key points like the inner eye, tip of nose, and cheekbones, or blend it down with a brush if it feels too intense. CLIO has a strong reputation for affordable makeup quality.

    "I've had these for a while, these are the Clio Prism Highlighters from a brand called Clio, and this is in the shade 01 Gold Sheer. So I don't know if it shows up on camera very well, but we have like a pinky champagne and more of a gold tone highlight. This is quite strong, so I am just going to do a tiny bit at a time. You can see it already has like a strong effect."

    "This right here is one of my favorite powder highlights, the Clio Prism Highlighter in 01 Gold Sheer. While the tones are very different from the Dolce and Gabbana, the Clio highlighter is lighter. I would say not the biggest difference in Formula, but huge difference in price point."

    I think you’ll love this stuff too
    "I feel like I haven't fell in love with a highlighter in a really long time. This one is so, I'm wearing it today on my cheeks. What I love about it is that it's sheer, you know, but buildable, so it doesn't, like, it's not overwhelming on your face. It doesn't end up making you look like such a glazed doughnut unless you want it to, and I respect it for that. I like the versatility."

    How to look Glowy NOT Oily
    "I'm obsessed with it. [...] What I love about this is that it's extremely, like the base of it is slightly more on the sheer side but it gives the most beautiful glow. [...] It's got like a slightly more sheer base so it's slightly more translucent. It gives this beautiful glow, it gives this stunning reflect, but it doesn't, there's nothing opaque about it, there's nothing like overwhelming about it. So it gives you the option to build up the amount of glow that you want."
    Beyonce’s makeup is perfection
    "I'm going in with my prism highlighter from Clio which is kind of like a sheer gold. I'm using this ever so slightly on my brow bone, [...] and then patting it out because the skin looks pretty matte to be honest. Then I'm using that to just really create that glow on the very inner and lower inner part of the eye, hit the tip of the nose, [...] and then the tops of the cheekbones. I'm just kind of pressing it in because I wanted kind of like a soft glow."

    What the evidence says.

    Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

    Sunscreen filters

    Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.
