Hyped On Highlighters

There is something which I find ever-so satisfying about highlighters - the way they glide onto your skin, the appearance of them in their packaging and the insane shades which many brands promote.

I have picked up my three favourite highlighters from different formulas - there is a mini review for a powder, liquid and stick application. 





MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter

This highlighter was my first ever one I purchased and it remains one of my all time favourites! When I first picked this up I personally didn't think it would be that good as it is £3 from an inexpensive brand, but I was in total shock with my first impressions. The powdered shade in my collection is insane and it is such an gorgeous colour! I use this on my cheekbones for a subtle look or if I'm feeling more adventurous I would apply more layered on top of each other. This highlighter looks gorgeous in the Summer when there is natural lighting. The brush I would recommend using is the Real Techniques Blush brush


Benefit High Beam

High Beam is my favourite liquid highlighter because of the satiny pink glow it leaves on your cheekbones. One thing I adore about this highlighter is the fact it will suit any skin tone, sometimes I find it difficult to find the right highlight to suit my skin but this is amazing. The only downside I would mention is the blending - when I dab this on to my skin, it is hard to blend evenly into the skin, as it does leave a pink line on your cheeks. Although it does leave a patchy line if it isn't blended well, we know how pigmented High Beam is, which is always a good thing!

Collection Speedy Highlighter Glow Stick

My most recent highlighter has been this, so I can't give an exact review as I haven't used it as much as the others. From my first impression, the highlighter is pigmented but it leaves speckles on your cheeks when you apply it... it can seem very patchy. Other than the first application, when you have evened out the first application, the highlighter does look amazing and makes your cheekbones really glow! Having an highlighter on a stick is such a cool way to apply... I love the concept!



What highlighter is your favourite?
