Packaging:
The Flash Luminizer Radiance Booster Pens feature a very sleek and shiny silver design. The product dispenses by pressing the button at the bottom of the pens. The brush tip is tapered for a more precise application and the pen holds 2.5ml of product, the same as the YSL Touche Eclat.

Formulation:
Designed to highlight and brighten, the Flash Luminizers are available in an array of colors. "
002 Ivory" is a very light neutral beige. The formulation is quite pigmented compared to other brightening pens (ex. YSL Touch Eclat) so it pretty much doubles as a concealer. The texture is very creamy and smooth, blending effortlessly and leaving behind no visible streaks.

002 Apricot" is a warm beige. This shade is definitely designed for those with medium skin tones. Again, the formulation is very good. Unlike a lot of the highlighting pens out on the market, these definitely feel more like concealers due to the higher pigment level.

"
800 Pearly Pink" is significantly different from the previous shades. The formulation is mostly shimmers instead of pigments. I'm not sure I like this one as much simply because its usage is a lot more limited. With the other two shades, I can use them under my eyes and pretty much anywhere I want some brightening and concealing. With this light pink shimmers, though, it only really works on the cheekbones and eyelids. The formulation is quite sheer so it is pretty subtle and natural.
