What is highlighter makeup?

Have you ever wondered how certain celebrities seem to have skin that glistens in photos or how pronounced and naturally beautiful their jawline, nose or high cheekbones look? Chances are they utilize the light-reflecting powers of highlighter makeup products. Formulated with sheer, shimmering and complexion brightening ingredients, highlighter makeup helps promote youthful radiance in all the right places.

Highlighter makeup is available in three forms: powder, cream and liquid highlighters. Choosing the right one for you will depend on your skin type and the other makeup products you pair it with.

Cream highlighters

Like cream bronzers and cream foundation makeup, cream highlighters are best suited for dry and mature skin. Oily skin types should avoid cream highlighters, as they tend to cause skin to look and feel oilier. Cream highlighter is also recommended if you plan to use cream contouring makeup or if you want to achieve a blemish-blurring look. Choose from traditional cream highlighters or cream highlighter sticks for touch-ups on the go.

Here are some of our favorite cream highlighter and highlighter stick products and why we love them:

RMS Beauty Luminizer: With five glowing options to choose from, this cream highlighter adds luminosity with nourishing vitamin E that skin of all types can benefit from. It’s also formulated free from alcohol, parabens, fragrances and sulfates.

jane iredale Glow Time Highlighter Stick: A multi-use makeup product for cheeks, lips and body, this highlighter stick from jane iredale offers a streak-free, buildable, blendable, radiant pearl glow that’s perfect for on-the-go application. It’s also formulated with jojoba oil to help smooth and soothe skin.

Glo Skin Beauty Glow Up Highlighter Stick: Made with hydrating hyaluronic acid, this highlighter stick developed by the experts at Glo Skin Beauty is loaded with skin-nourishing vitamins to deliver a lightweight, dewy, silky smooth look.

Highlighter powder makeup

Highlighter powder is great for all skin types and is the best option for oily skin. It’s easy to apply and hard to overdo. You can build upon your highlighter powder application for a more luminous effect or apply a quick sweep here and there for a more natural look on days where you don’t want to go all-out with your makeup application.

Here are some of our favorite highlighter powder products and why we love them:

Colorescience Pressed Mineral Illuminator: Made with a paraben-free mineral formula, this highlighter powder enhances any complexion with subtle radiance and long-lasting color and all-day wear.

theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer: Illuminate the cheek, eyes, and brow bone with the shimmery, light-reflecting power of this Mary-Lu Manizer highlighter powder. Both non-comedogenic and talc-free, this highlighter powder is a favorite among LovelySkin customers and is praised for the instant healthy, bright glow it gives the skin.

bareMinerals Pressed Endless Glow Highlighter: No brand does mineral makeup quite like bareMinerals, and this pressed highlighter powder is a prime example. Formulated to show off a natural luster, this pressed highlighter powder offers a natural glow that blends well with all skin tones. It’s also non-comedogenic, talc-free, and won’t cling to dry patches or imperfections.

Liquid highlighter makeup

Similar to cream highlighter, liquid highlighter makeup is best suited for dry and aging skin types. Liquid highlighter is formulated to help blur uneven skin tones and create a subtle shimmer or more pronounced shine to your facial features depending on how much you apply.

Here is one our favorite liquid highlighter makeup products and why we love it:

Perricone MD No Makeup Highlighter: A 100% vegan gel-liquid highlighter, this skin-credible brightening product is formulated with light-reflecting pearls and vitamin E to improve discoloration and dullness caused by aging and sun damage. With this liquid highlighter, you will enjoy a sheer, dewy finish.
