We bet you love your skin when it’s glowing! Good skincare and habits can help you achieve a complexion that radiates from within. However, if you aren’t blessed with the greatest of skin, the good news is you can still fake that glow! Here’s where highlighters come in handy as they give you the ability to showcase your best features and give you that lit-from-within glow!
When buying a highlighting product, remember to choose what you are after – a light tint, obvious glimmer or just a bit of radiance. Today, we look at some of the best highlighters you can buy in cream, powder or liquid form at various price points for that evasive glow!
Youngblood Mineral Radiance
Loved for its high-quality, mineral makeup products, Youngblood’s Mineral Radiance does not disappoint. The light weight mineral powder can be used on your face or body and provides a gorgeous sun-kissed glow, all year long. As simple as sweeping the shades on your skin – and layering if you need more colour. It also comes in convenient packaging for on-the-go touchups!
Benefit Hoola Bronzing Powder
Fans of Benefit will love the Hoola Bronzing Powder for its sheer, healthy natural tan effect. It imparts a soft bronzing look without any shimmer or shine to it. The best part? You can build coverage slowly, based on how much or how little bronzer you need!
Chanel Eclat Lumiere Highlighter Face Pen
There’s a reason Chanel’s Eclat Lumiere Highlighter Face Pen is one of the top-selling products on Cosmetics Now. The pen offers an instant touch of radiance in a single stroke and also reduces the appearance of fine lines using an optical effect. Got dark circles? This face pen will also lighten them and can be used to add luminosity pretty much anywhere on your face.
As a liquid highlighter, you’ll find few brands that come close to the finish that Giorgio Armani’s Fluid Sheer offers. This fluid sculpts and fine-tunes your complexion and provides seamless coverage. Available in a range of versatile colours, you can choose to wear it alone or even as a makeup base. Mix with your foundation or moisturiser and you’ll get radiant skin like no other!
