I am blaming this highlighting rave on Mrs. Jaclyn Hill, the
queen of highlighting. I have to say I am obsessed with trying out new
highlights, not just new products, but also on different areas on my face. From
the cheekbones to the cupids bow, highlighters can be placed pretty much
wherever you want it. I personally like to place highlighters on my cheekbones,
cheeks, nose, and my cupids bow (note: if you have a thin upper lip, this will
help your lip look fuller and plump).
I have listed below two “high” end highlighters and two drug
store highlighters that I am using constantly. Let me know in the comments some
of your favorites!
e.l.f. | All Over Color Stick in Persimmon
This is a beautiful 3-in-1 stick that can be used to add
glow to your eyes, lips, and face. I personally love this as a highlight right
on the cheekbones. Persimmon is the PERFECT highlight for any skin tone and
gives you an amazing glow. The longevity is super impressive, since his is a
cream highlight it stays on the skin all day long. So, for only $1.00 I would
say this has to be one, if not my favorite drug store highlighter.
wet n wild | Fergie To Reflect Shimmer Palette
I know I included this in my November favorites but I
couldn’t leave it out of this post. For me, wet n wild products have never been
my favorite from the drug store, until this little guy. The Fergie shimmer
palette delivers pigment to DIE for, though you do need to use a good amount,
it is totally worth the $6. (Read more about the Fergie Shimmer Palette on my
November Favorites post!)
How could I not include this palette? Okay, I know, it may be
over talked about but it’s really worth all the hype. The palette includes
three beautiful pressed skin perfectors; Pearl, Champagne Pop, and Blushed
Copper. You know Queen Jaclyn Hill would never disappoint us with anything,
especially highlighters, so you know it has to be good. I usually apply Pearl
to my cheekbones, nose, and cupids bow when I am going for a more natural
simple look, and will mix Pearl and Champagne Pop when going for a fiercer
look.
Bhcosmetics | Carli Bybel Eyeshadow & HighlighterPalette
I have been using this palette for the past month now and
don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. Now, this is a post about highlighters but
I will say the eye shadows are AMAZING and highly pigmented, the perfect shades
for an everyday look. OKAY, let’s stay on topic, the highlighters in the
palette are perfection, you go Carli! The palette includes four different
shades (not named), one to fit everyone’s skin tone. I absolutely love mixing
the first two and applying them on the cheekbones, nose, forehead, and cupids
bow. The only complaint I have (it’s not really a complaint), is that it does
not last all day, a good 4 hours maybe, but none the less, it’s still one of my
favorites!
Favorite Highlighting Brush
e.l.f | Flawless Concealer Brush
I have tried a few different brushes when applying my
highlights and this brush is by far the best, plus its only $4! My tip, if you
do get this brush for highlighting is to rough it up a little bit!
What is your favorite highlight?
