Within the past year, highlighting has become a mandatory step when you get ready. Whether it's creme or powder, blinding or a subtle glow from within - it's a must! It completes a look and makes you look radiant and have healthy skin. But there are so many out there it can be hard to find ones that are actually good.
1. OFRA Cosmetics - Rodeo Drive ($35)
This white gold highlighter is perfect for many skin tones. It can be applied lightly for a natural sunny glow or applied heavy handed for a blinding glow. It applies smoothly with a metallic finish no matter how much is applied.
2. Anastasia Beverly Hills - Glow Kit ($40)
ABH was one of the first brands to release game changing, blending highlighters. They have individual highlighters but are most known for their quad palettes. All of their Glow Kits are limited edition but all are the same high quality of creamy, blending highlighters.
3. Dior - Nude Air Luminzer Powder ($56)
This highlighter is defintely on the pricier side, but the pay off is worth it. It comes in four different shades so there is a shade for every skin tone. It is light weight and blends effortlessly into your skin and looks like a glow from within. It glides onto your skin without picking up on any texture no matter how much you put on; it will give you a healthy, radiant glow.
4. Marc Jacbos - Dew Drops Gel Highlighter ($44)
This insanely popular liquid highlighter is the first of its kind because of the gel like formula; it applies smoothly and gives a radiant glow without being to unnatural which makes it perfect for body highlighting (shoulders, collar bone). It currently only has one shade, Dew You? (out of stock), but anticipate more shades in the future.
5. Wet'n'Wild - MegaGlo Highlighting Powder ($5)
Yep, a drugstore highlighter that works just as well, if not better, than highend ones. This was the first affordable highlighter that made us visible to space and gave all other brands a run for their money. They recently released for shades to include more skin tones; there is currently six blinding shades.
6. Maybelline - FaceStudio Master Chrome Highlighter ($10)
To keep up with all the other brands, Maybelline had to step up their highlighter game, then they hit us with their first metallic highlighter. It is a beautiful, rich true gold that will give you golden glow.
Highlighting is such a universal thing, from highly metallic to a soft gleam; we all rock it! No matter your budget, there are high quality ones out there!
