About the balm
KAHI Highlighter Balm Stick is a creamy balm highlighter with microfine pearly shimmer. It melts into a translucent, pinky-pearl glow that catches the light on your cheekbones, nose and chin, for a dewy, three-dimensional finish rather than a glittery one.
Underneath the shimmer is skincare: KAHI's complete collagen trio, ceramide NP and fermented Jeju botanicals keep skin feeling soft and comfortable. Dot, blend and build as much glow as you like. 9 g, developed in Korea.

Good to know
Questions, answered
What colour is the KAHI Highlighter Balm?
A translucent, pinky-pearl shimmer. It looks rose-champagne in the stick and melts into a sheer, light-catching glow on skin, not a block of colour.
Is it glittery?
No. It uses microfine pearly shimmer for a dewy, three-dimensional glow rather than visible glitter.
Where should I apply a highlighter stick?
On the high points of the face: tops of the cheekbones, the bridge or tip of the nose, the chin and the forehead. For a more dramatic glow, apply it over a wider area.
Does it have skincare ingredients?
Yes. Alongside the pearls it has KAHI's complete collagen trio (salmon collagen, salmon PDRN and proteoglycan), ceramide NP and fermented Jeju botanicals.
Can I use it near my eyes?
You can dab it lightly on the outer edge of the cheekbone, but keep it out of the eyes themselves. If your skin is sensitive, patch test on your inner wrist first.
Is the KAHI Highlighter Balm vegan?
No. It contains salmon-derived collagen, PDRN (sodium DNA) and proteoglycan, so it isn't vegan. KAHI doesn't test on animals and is cruelty-free.
Can I use it during pregnancy?
It hasn't been tested during pregnancy, so please ask your GP or midwife before using it while pregnant or breastfeeding. The full ingredient list is below.
