If there's one thing I know it's how to spot a good highlighter. After searching high and low,for that perfect glow. I have tested a lot of products. I want to share with you my favourite brighteners. Highlighters make such a difference to your makeup its one of those finishing touches I cannot live without.
Like all makeup there are different finishes and consistencies for your highlighter. It's all about finding the glow for you.

| Kryolan event foundation Pearl. £30 |
I thought I would get the unexpected
out of the way. This big beauty(50ml) is Kryolans event foundation in Pearl. It
is a light weight transparent formula that sits beautifully on the skin.
I use it as a multi use product, I mix it in with foundations
for a glow.,I use it as a eyeshadow primer and a highlighter. It gives an
intense, pure glow. I would recommend this shade for pale skin types only-it is available in darker shades. Just dab a pea sized amount onto the skin and blend it out
for an angelic glow.

| MAC Lustre Drops-Pink Rebel(£18) |
The sequel to my fave liquid
highlighters MAC Lustre drops Pink Rebel. Ideal for mixing in with your
foundation for a more dewy finish, I tend to use a flat sponge and dab onto the
areas I want to shine. It also looks stunning mixed in with some powder blusher.
 |
| The Body Shop illuminator (£12) |
If the other liquid highlighters are
slightly out of your budget then I have just the solution for you. Body shops
illuminator is more of a thicker substance than the above. But is still in my
top three of liquid highlighters. It does the trick. You do have to work this
one into the skin more but it still leaves your skin gleaming beautifully.
 |
| MAC Frost-Pearl. |
As you can see this is used a lot when
creating my makeup. Unlike the others it is a cream highlighter. MAC Frost-
Pearl. This sits effortlessly onto he skin without blending just needs to be
pressed onto the skin preferably with a finger and voila you are a glowing
godess.It looks more dewy than shimmery which I love it lasts for hours ad is
my ultimate life saver if my skin is looking slightly dry.
 |
| MAC Skinfinish Mineralize- Soft and Gentle. |
This highlighter is perfect for those
with oily skin types. MAC Mineralize skin finish. I use a flat brush and press
it into the skin. It catches the light beautifully. Again it's not too shimmery
so perfect for day and night makeup. I tend to use powder highlighters to set
my liquid highlighters on a night out if I want a more dramatic look. You can
get this in many shade to suit every skin tone.
 |
| MUA Undress your skin (£3) |
If you're new to highlighters or if
you're curious about powder highlighters but don't want to risk splashing out
on a product you may not warm to. I would recommend trialling Superdrugs
MUA Undress your skin highlighter. I cannot praise this product enough.
It is highly pigmented, sits beautifully on skin and gives a shimmery glow.
This product is also available with a gold undertone for you beauties with
olive toned skin. It's £3 grab bargain.
Swatches.
There are of course millions of
highlighters, but here are my personal favourites that I cannot praise enough!

I don't really highlight my face, mostly because I don't really know where I should highlight but if I ever do decide I'll make sure to try out one of these products!
