What are good cream highlighters out there??

I’ve always used powder highlighters but since it’s summer, I’ve been on the lookout for amazing cream highlighters that are buildable and can be worn on an almost everyday basis for just a simple natural look when I’m not feeling like wearing much of anything on the face.

I love the Josie Marian Aegean cream highlighter and the Becca pressed creme highlighters as well.

@Vyann My favourite natural-looking highlighters are Stila Heaven’s Hue in shades Kitten and Bronze. They glow without over-emphasizing texture ☺️ 80419930-1639-44F5-BDC9-96CD00A2640D.jpeg

@Vyann,

 

I also suggest the stila Heaven's Dew All Over Glimmer which is new for summer! It has sooo much shimmer and ads a pretty glow to the skin.

@melissabt Heaven’s Dew?? Well hello there!! 😁 I need to go check that out right now!

Re: What are good cream highlighters out there??

@PinkEvergreen,


Yes! It looks like such a fun product to use and imagine that it would look gorgeous in the sun and photograph well.

I really love the Matchstix shimmer skinstick by Fenty @Vyann. They apply so smooth and creamy, are buildable, and they’re super easy to apply on the go!

Definitely try NARS Illuminator!! I have it in Copacabana which is a pale silvery pink and I'm totally obsessed with it!! They do have other shades, so definitely check it out!

@Vyann my absolute favourite cream highlighters are the rms ones! I have Living Luminizer and Champagne Rosé, and while the Champagne leans towards my favourite both are amazing!

Also a good option that includes them is the Luminizer Quad - this has four highlighters and includes the two I mentioned above.

Also rms has two Signature Sets that include two highlights/bronzers, two "lip 2 cheek" that are multi-purpose and a balm. I personally haven't tried these sets, but I plan on getting one during the next sale given how much I love the highlighters!

PS: I wanted to add, some people I've noticed have trouble using these highlighters since they're more of an oil base than a cream. Usually when I first buy one I take a tissue/q-tip lightly to the top as sometimes a bit of an "dewy" layer of the oil forms when it's not been used in a long time. After that it's good to go for me. I use my finger and circle it a few times in the product, then dab-dab-dab on my cheekbones/anywhere else I want some glow. Literally the only highlighters I've re-purchased after using up. LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!

Hey there @Vyann! I am leaving you links to my top 3 liquid/cream highlights. Each one of them is unique in their own and sit fabulous on top of makeup! The RMS and Dr. Perricone are more on the natural-lighter side while the Farsali is one the medium side in case you were wondering how they compare. If you haven't already tried these, I highly recommend you check them out 🙂

Hi, @Vyann.

 

My favorite is the Benefit Cosmetics Watt’s Up! Cream-to-Powder Highlighter.

 

I've also heard great things about the Hourglass Vanish™ Flash Highlighting Sticks, Fenty Match Stix Shimmer Skinsticks, Nars The Multiples, and the rms beauty Luminizers (Living, Magic, Champagne Rose).

 

I hope this helps!

RE: Re: What are good cream highlighters out there??

yes! I really appreciate it and I’ll be sure to give some of those products a try!
