"From Clio, I love Clio. The Clio Prism Highlighter, you have six colors: gold sheer fairy pink, frozen crystal, gray sopal, peach, sapphire, and violet ruby. [...] These look stunning. I love Clio, Clio is a very affordable brand. [...] I have some of their mascaras, they're just a really really great brand. If you're ever shopping [...] and come across Clio, they're a good brand to go for. These look stunning, I like how they have some other shades here that can be used on deeper skin tones. I like their highlighters, they do some of the best highlighters, so I really like them. I wish I left some spots down further, they all look really stunning, I really like those."

"I've been using this pretty much every single time I do my makeup since I received it, which was a while ago. [...] I'm obsessed with it. When it comes to choosing a highlighter, there are highlighters I love that give like a glazed doughnut effect, really intense, for instance. [...] What I love about the Clio Prism Highlighter is that the base of it is slightly more on the sheer side but it gives the most beautiful glow. [...] It's in the shade One Golden Sheer, so beautiful. [...] It's got a slightly more sheer, translucent base, and it gives this beautiful glow, this stunning reflect, but there's nothing opaque about it, nothing overwhelming about it. It gives you the option to build up the amount of glow that you want, and you can definitely build it up, you can get a glazed doughnut effect if you want, but if you want just a really natural looking glow, very bridal, very glow from within, this is so beautiful as a powder highlight."

"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, ever so slightly, [...] I didn't want it to be too much, and then patting it out. [...] I'm using that to really create that glow on the very inner and lower part of the eye, the tip of the nose, [...] and the tops of the cheekbones. I'm just kind of pressing it in because I wanted kind of like a soft glow, so I'm pressing it into the skin. I decided it was maybe ever so slightly too much, so I went back in with the blush brush and blended it out so it would look a little less highlighty and a little bit more glowy."
