The Perfect Highlighter Doesn’t Exist… Until You Try These

I’ve spent years testing highlighters…the good, the bad, and every level of wrong you can imagine. I remember a point where highlighter trends became a bit ridiculous…like, high shine, reflective type of highlighting. It looked so wrong, and thankfully I didn’t jump on the trend. I prefer a subtle hint of radiance. I absolutely hate the kind of highlighter that you can see your reflection in.

Real glow isn’t about sparkle. It’s about skin that looks alive and healthy…that subtle sheen that makes people say, “Your skin looks amazing,”

So, I’ve put together my list of highlighters that do exactly that…the ones that give glow without glitter, sheen without shimmer, and light without heaviness. These are the formulas that blend easily, work across different skin types, and make you look lit-from-within. I’ve tried them all, and I love them all.
