I experimented with Hailey Bieber's trick for radiant skin, and I haven't received this many compliments before.
If there's a celebrity I would love to sit down with to inquire about their skincare and makeup routines, it's Hailey Bieber. Renowned for her glowing complexion, I think about her luminous makeup every day. When she debuted Rhode in 2022, I eagerly rushed to purchase her favorite skincare products. Although they have significantly enhanced the appearance of my skin, I'm still on the lookout for something to achieve that "glazed" finish for my daily makeup routine. Enter Rhode's newly released Highlight Milk.
Along with the trending Pocket Bronze, Rhode's summer collection features the highly desirable Highlight Milk, a shimmering version of the brand's well-loved Glazing Milk. Intended to be applied over your skincare (and beneath your SPF), it can be used on its own or blended with your preferred foundation or skin tint for a radiant effect. Since I started using this product, my makeup has truly elevated. In fact, I've received numerous compliments about how glowing my complexion looks, and if that's not a cue to indulge in the Highlight Milk, I don't know what is. Keep reading for my complete review... Rhode Highlight Milk
Pros
- Provides a luminous effect
- Can be worn alone or beneath makeup
Cons
- Offers a more subtle finish rather than intense shimmer
The Formula
While I enjoy using this to enhance my makeup, it's fundamentally a skincare product. Formulated with the brand's Glazing Milk blend, it has a lightweight, milky consistency and is enriched with ceramides, vitamin E, and glycerin to hydrate and fortify the skin's barrier. Even if your skin isn't particularly dry, I believe this is a fantastic addition to your routine as it brings an extra layer of glow and hydration. As someone with fairly oily skin, I've found the formula to be neither thick nor greasy.
The Shades
What sets this product apart from the original Glazing Milk is its delicate, pearlescent shimmer. There are four shades available, ranging from a pearly pink to a deep bronze. Shades 01 and 02 are described as sheer, milky bases, while shades 03 and 04 offer additional tint for a warm glow. Currently, I'm using shade 02; however, I anticipate switching to 01 during the winter months for my daily makeup.
The Application
What I appreciate about the Highlight Milk is its versatility. There are numerous ways to use it, but here are a few of my favorites. On days when I opt for a "no makeup" look, I apply this all over my skin before adding concealer and a touch of cream bronzer. Using just these three products makes a significant difference in my complexion, and it's surprisingly the makeup look that garners the most compliments. However, when I want to dress up a bit and achieve a coordinated makeup look, I mix a few drops of this into my foundation, and the outcome is consistently impressive. A tip I picked up from the Rhode website? Blend it with your body lotion or apply directly to your arms, chest, and legs for beautiful body shimmer.
The Results
Honestly? I can't get enough of this product. I’ve tried numerous illuminating primers, but what I love about this one is that the glow appears entirely natural. Yes, it's described as shimmery, but it actually imparts a subtle luminosity that would convince anyone you follow a stringent, 20-step skincare routine (my real regimen involves more like cleanser, serum, and moisturizer). I admire Hailey's makeup style because it never seems too "done." Instead, she emphasizes letting your skin shine through, and now that I have the Highlight Milk, I feel capable of recreating her signature look. If you seek ongoing compliments this summer, I would consider this a worthy investment.
