5 Most Preferred Highlighters

Whether it`s spring or summer, or even the dead of winter, weddings are all about looking glamorous and fresh. If you`re a bride-to-be, this especially holds true - you`ll want a bright, bridal glow to accompany your big day happiness! Even if they`re not a part of your daily routine, highlighters and illuminators are well worth considering for important events.

The Multiple by Nars

This easy-to-use color stick can be used to touch up dull skin or add a sheer shimmer on top of your makeup. It`s handy for sticking in your purse but also a large enough size to keep in your makeup arsenal. The formula is creamy but turns into a soft powder after you apply it, making for a smooth finish.

Diamond Powder by Makeup Forever

This translucent powder has tiny glitter flakes in it, so you`ll get a shimmery glow that`s best suited for nighttime. The powder comes in many colors, including darker tones that`ll match South Asian skin. However, there`s a clear option as well, which is great if you`re blending multiple foundations for your dream look.

Argan Enlightenment Illuminizer by Josie Maran

Josie Maran`s argan oil products are amazingly effective and good for your skin. The moisturizing oil keeps your skin hydrated while the pearly pigments offer a proper highlight for your cheeks. The liquid formula is lightweight and easy to apply

PhotoReady Skinlights Face Illuminator by Revlon

Revlon is another excellent drugstore brand that`ll deliver without breaking the bank. This illuminator is liquid, but lightweight and creamy. It can be used all over to even out skin tone or as a highlighter to accent features.

Lucy Star Powder, by Gerard Cosmetics, $39

Lucy is a deep rose shimmer that`s uncommon in a highlighter, but very majestic indeed! The powder is pigmented enough that a few strokes will do the job, and the product will last you a very long time. The shimmer is glittery, but not over the top- so your look will be just the right amount of fabulous.
