Favorite Highlighters from Drugstore to High End

Highlighting and Strobing have been the hottest thing the past couple of years.  I wanted to share my favorite drugstore highlighters and high end ones.  I will dedicate another blog post to how to highlighter and where the best places on your face.

Drugstore Favorites

Wet n Wild

MegaGlo All-In-One Highlighting Stick in Marigold Round.  It's a multi purpose stick for eyes, lips, face and body. This color is more of a creamy pearlescent and shimmery.  These are sold where Wet n Wild products are sold, usually Walgreens or Rite Aid for $3.99.  Buy them soon as they are limited edition. 


I also have and love the stick in Light Up My High-biscus.  This one can be used on a highlighter or even a blush. This is more peachy color with shimmer - beautiful! This one makes for a beautiful lip as well.


Hard Candy

So Baked Bronzer in Tiki.  This is so light that it is used as a highlighter.  It is gold as a baked bronzer but has a light champagne tone and dewy. It is very pigmented and works well on fair tone and dark toned skin.  Hard Candy has reformulated the highlighter so it's more on the pink side now. You can purchase it at Walmart for $9.


There are so many drugstore options for highlighters that I don't personally used but hear great review about so before buying check out online reviews or go into the store and swatch the colors themselves unless it is drugstore as they do not have samples out.


High End Highlighters Worth the Splurge

Becca

Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Champagne Pop.  It is the perfect highlighter with soft white gold with pinky peach undertones. A cult favorite! $38 hefty price tag but worth it.


Clinique

Chubby Stick Sculpting Highlight which is an oil-free stick and comes in a satin finish.  It has a very light pink tone and is subtle.  It is buildable and beautiful on the skin. Nice just to have a stick you can just throw in your purse for those touch up moments. $22

Benefit Cosmetics

High Beam Liquid Face Highlighter with a satin pink liquid highlighter for a subtle glow.  Retails for $26. This was the first highlighter I ever purchased and still my favorite.

The Balm

Mary-Lou Manizer Highlighter and Shadow is a honey hued luminizer.  Makes your skin so dewy and shiny. $22
