The 5 products ranked here carry 25,104 reviews at Ulta and Sephora. We searched them for a natural-looking glow and read the newest matching reviews, up to 40 per product and store, posted between Jan 2017 and Oct 2026.
A review counts only when the reviewer used the product themselves. We drop reviews written in exchange for a free product or a sweepstakes entry (0 on this page), and products that are no longer sold.
Ulta also shows reviews first posted on brands' own websites. They run much more positive than store reviews of the same products (across 19 products with both, 76% of brand-site reviewers said the product solved the problem, against 55% of Ulta shoppers), so we show them on product cards but never count them.
Because we searched for the problem, people who had it are overrepresented. Compare products with each other rather than reading a share as your own odds.
Skin type, skin tone and age splits use what reviewers chose on Sephora's review form (and age on Ulta's when given). We only show a split when enough reviewers fall on each side.
Amazon buttons appear only on products that most reviewers here say fix the problem (at least 60%, with enough reviews to trust it). Everything else gets no buy link.
An AI model labels each review against a fixed list of points, and we spot-check the labels before publishing. We publish counts, never the reviews themselves.

No. These records come from shoppers who mentioned how the glow looked, and shoppers mostly bring that up when they like it, so the numbers compare the highlighters with each other rather than promise a look. The counts are what shoppers said after using each one, not a lab test, so follow the label directions.
It is a liquid complexion booster, and many shoppers wear it as a highlighter. The record here comes from shoppers who said how its glow looked, so it reflects that use.
