Rhode's Highlight Milk is a lightweight, sheer liquid illuminator that blends to a soft, natural glow without chunky glitter, though the lightest shade reads pinky on fair skin. Professional makeup artist Robert Welsh notes it's "a bit glittery for me" and wouldn't repurchase, while Makeup By Nikki La Rose finds it too subtle to deliver the marketed glow, rating it 5/10. It works well mixed into foundation or body moisturizer, but oily-skin users may find it too dewy, and it's best for those wanting a subtle, bronzy sheen.

- “It gives just the prettiest kind of pearlescent, almost like a healthy glow and when you look at this product really closely, you will not be able to see like actual specs of product and glitter, which I personally do like because I do have oily skin”3:05–3:13
- “If you have very oily skin, I don't think this product is something that you're going to be into”3:29–3:31
- “It just gives a skin a nice kind of glow and radiance to it, which I feel like is nice for those days where you just want a little something to the skin, but you don't actually want to put on makeup”
- “I do like the versatility of this, being able to use it on its own, being able to mix this into my moisturizer, put this into a thicker foundation that I want to lighten, and add a little bit of glow to it”
- “You can also use this in your body care products, put this in your body moisturizer, and it gives you such a pretty, beautiful glow to the skin”

- “I was wondering if this was going to be essentially just the glazing milk with luminizer added in if that was like the end of the story. But I don't think that fully encapsulates this launch”
- “It has a very similar texture to the Rhode glazing milk. That kind of milky glazy glow right away you can see”
- “This is definitely more sheer”
- “This is giving me that immediate bronzed effect. and it definitely has that sheen”5:17–5:27
- “The glazing milk has way more glow, is way more dewy”6:36–6:45
- “When it comes to products that you want to give your skin a bit of a bronze, this is pretty freaking ideal because the luminizer is not too heavy”6:54–7:02
- “This sets. That's one thing that I was really worried about with the glazing milk because glazing milk doesn't really set down. So, they adjusted the formula to combat that. I think that's actually really smart”7:08–7:15

- “This is a very nice product. It is not bad at all. It's a very natural way to highlight your skin”25:22–25:27
- “If you are looking for something that's really soft and natural, but gives you like a little hint of glow, then you'll probably really like this”25:45–25:52
- “It still is going to feel very hydrating, very absorbable. It's going to absorb into your skin, making it a really nice first step prior to your other serums and moisturizers and sunscreen”25:52–25:56
- “I just don't feel like it's effective enough. Right? It's being marketed as this really glowy liquid illuminator and I just don't feel like it's delivering what the marketing is suggesting it's going to deliver”26:24–26:27
- “Once you blend this into your skin, the highlight just disappears and you don't notice it anyway”25:56–26:00
