Finding the right highlighter is a deeply personal thing. Some apply it with the intention of the folks living in the International Space Station being able to spot them, others want to look like they're emanating an inner glow. Some don't mind if it's obvious on the skin, others prefer a a highlighter that won't emphasise texture. Then there's a case of which works the best - cream, powder or liquid?
So what are five of the most beloved highlighters as rated and reviewed by Beauty Review members? Read on...
1. BECCA Becca x Jaclyn Hill Shimmering Skin Perfector® Pressed Champagne Pop
RATED: 4.9/5!
Beauty Review Member jaxleong says: This is such a beautiful highlighter but not for the faint of heart. Once you apply this, you'll be able to see your highlight from space. The powder is very soft, almost wet looking but I guess it's just very finely milled. I highly recommend this!!
2. Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat
RATED: 4.3/5!
Beauty Review Member Millyw says: I use this as a highlighter from my brow bone around to my upper cheekbone, and on the bridge of my nose. I love that it blends in perfectly with my skin tone, and I don't need to use much. I also like that it isn't as shimmery as many highlighters, I can wear it on a daily basis and to work without feeling like I'm ready for a night out!
3. e.l.f Shimmering Facial Whip
RATED: 4.2/5
Beauty Review Member Roban says: Elf always impresses me with its low costs but such effective results. This highlighter is so pigmented and lasts forever! Such a nice pink shimmer that you can easier layer for a more dramatic effect.
4. L'Oreal Paris Wake Up and Glow Mon Amour Highlighting Drops
RATED: 4.2/5
Beauty Review Member JackieMackenzie says: I really enjoy this. I usually place it on the tops of my cheeks and a little on my nose and above my brows and tap in with my finger. You'd think it would be quite bold but it's more of a lovely glow once it's tapped in.
5. e.l.f Baked Highlighter
RATED: 4/5
Beauty Review Member Ngahew says: I love this highlighter! Its so illuminous and shimmery without being sparkly! I was surprised that I would get such a nice result from something that cost so little. I don't usually wear a highlighter because I worry that it will enhance fine lines and wrinkles but with a lighter brush, I get a lovely, fresh result.
I’ve actually never tried any of these as I used the Nars one but the E.l.f. Looks great! I love my highlighter sparkly and subtle
