How it's used
This expression is a highly colloquial intensifier used to describe someone or something that is exceptionally beautiful or striking. It functions similarly to other extreme adjectives like 靚到爆 or 靚到絕, but carries a slightly more vivid, almost dazzling connotation. It is almost exclusively used in casual, spoken contexts among friends or peers.
Examples
She is dressed up so stunningly today.
That girl is gorgeous, she really stands out.

Common mistake
Do not attempt to use this in formal writing or professional settings, as it sounds very informal and slangy. Also, ensure you include the particle 咁 after it when describing someone, as in 靚到暉咁, to make the sentence flow naturally.
