Looking for a good highlighter

[beachgurlly]

I’m looking for a highlighter good for summer and gives me a nice glow to my cheek bones and nose. I hope you guys can help ❤️

My all time favourite is MERIT Day Glow Dewy Highlighting Balm Cava  . It gives such a natural glow. It looks like my own skin- just shinier and healthier. I layer that with Saie Mini Glowy Super Gel Lightweight Dewy Multipurpose Illuminator  for extra shine. 

I tried a lot of others (like rare beauty) but they never worked for me since they almost looked cakey/ashy on me.

I’d say go for cruelty free options 

Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Positive Light Liquid Luminizer Highlight  

Saie Glowy Super Gel Lightweight Dewy Multipurpose Illuminator

@beachgurlly @Are you looking for a liquid, cream or powder formula?

I’m mostly looking for a liquid highlighter.

Preference wise, are you looking for something subtle or blinding?

You can also brighten areas with concealer one shade lighter than your foundation or with powder that compliments your undertone (yellow/orange can be neutral warm, pink can be cool/neutral, lavender cool, etc etc) such as PAT McGRATH LABS Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection Blurring Under Eye Powder Pink or ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Ultimate Blurring Setting Powder .  Anna Sui, not sold here, also makes one that's cooling, good for high heat.

Some products can also be layered or mixed in for a highlight or glow:

DIOR Forever Glow Star Filter Multi-Use Complexion Enhancing Booster  

Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter  

Saie Glowy Super Gel Lightweight Dewy Multipurpose Illuminator  

Elf Halo Glow

Balms:

PAT McGRATH LABS Skin Fetish Highlighter & Balm Duo  

Ami Colé Light-Catching Highlighter Balm Glaze  

tarte Maracuja Juicy Glow Highlighting Stick  

Liquid highlighter:

DIOR Forever Glow Maximizer Longwear Liquid Highlighter .. Love these

Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Positive Light Liquid Luminizer Highlight These are similar to Dior, but a bit more sparkly.. Some of them are more subtle than others, like flaunt and transcend.  Really depends on the shade and your shade, honestly

Armani Beauty Fluid Sheer Glow Enhancer Highlighter .. This is the most subtle highlight, I have swatched it twice, never loved it because against my skin tone it blends out soooooo light - no matter the color, there's nothing distinguishable IMO. BUT, for someone who likes a subtle look, this is it.  (I love a blinding highlight personally)

Powders are usually more intense, but the Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Demi'Glow Light-Diffusing Highlighter are pretty mild IMO.  I also amp them up using a powder puff, for mild/soft highlight application, a brush will do

If you like blinding:

Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Positive Light Silky Touch Highlighter  

Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter  

Benefit Cosmetics Cookie and Tickle Shimmer Finish Powder Highlighters Cookie

@danielledanielle I'm newly obsessed eith highlighters...bookmarking this!

[danielledanielle]

No problem! @beachgurlly  and happy to hear as you join me in my obsession, 😂@greeneyedgirl107 Also... I forgot one, since it's been a minute since I've used it:

Benefit Cosmetics Mini High Beam Liquid Face Highlighter High Beam .. if I remember this correctly, it is blinding but I think it can probably be sheered out with another liquid complexion product (concealer) to get it to a milder level

@danielledanielle I like your tip!  Once I experiment more, I'll have to let you know how it goes.
