FAQs
How do I choose the right shade?
Shades like 'Dream', 'Divine', and 'Infinite' offer different undertones and levels of luminosity. 'Evoke' and 'Mythic' are described as having radiant finishes. Swatching in person or referencing online shade guides is recommended to find the best match for your skin tone.
Can I use this on mature skin?
Yes, the hydrating, serum-like texture is often beneficial for mature skin as it can add luminosity and appear less dry or cakey than some powder highlighters.
How long does a bottle typically last?
With daily use, applying 1-3 drops per application, a bottle should last several months. The duration depends on the frequency and amount of product used.
Is this product vegan and cruelty-free?
Hourglass is a cruelty-free brand. Specific product formulations can be checked on the Hourglass website for vegan status.
Can I wear this without foundation?
Absolutely. Wearing it on bare skin provides a natural, healthy glow and can enhance skin's appearance with its hydrating properties.
What is the 'Unreal Lifting Complex'?
The Unreal Lifting Complex is an ingredient blend formulated by Hourglass to provide a cosmetic effect of visibly lifting and firming the skin's appearance, enhancing the overall smoothness and radiance.
Troubleshooting
Product appears streaky upon application.
Ensure skin is well-moisturized. Apply a small amount of product using the dropper and blend immediately with fingertips, a damp sponge, or a stippling brush. Work in thin layers.
Highlighter does not appear to be lifting or firming.
The 'lifting and firming' effect is a cosmetic result of the product's formula and application. For the most visible effect, apply directly to the high points of the cheeks and blend upwards. The primary benefit is cosmetic radiance and hydration.
Dropper is not dispensing product.
Ensure the dropper is fully inserted into the bottle. Check if the product has thickened. If so, gently warm the bottle between your hands. Clean the tip of the dropper if it appears clogged.
Product feels sticky after application.
This can occur if too much product is applied or if it is not fully blended. Try using less product and ensure it is blended outwards and upwards until it feels seamless with the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No setup is required for the Hourglass Unreal Liquid Highlighter. Ensure the precision dropper is clean before each use.
Compatibility: This liquid highlighter is designed to be compatible with all skin types. It can be used on bare skin, over moisturizer, or mixed with liquid or cream foundations and blushes. It is not recommended for use with powder-based products applied *after* the highlighter, as this may disrupt the finish.

After each use, gently wipe the tip of the precision dropper with a clean, dry tissue before returning it to the bottle. Avoid introducing water or other contaminants into the product. Clean the exterior of the bottle and dropper as needed with a slightly damp cloth.
