For glowing skin, it’s important to consider your skin type before choosing a highlighter. Different formulas produce different effects and affect how they work on your skin tone. Therefore, it’s important to choose the right highlighter for the glow you want.

Wondering which formula is best for you? We give you usage advice and tips so you can accentuate your skin and achieve the best results.

Best Highlighter for Textured Skin?

For those with textured skin, cream highlighters are often a great choice because they blend seamlessly and create a natural, dewy look. The creamy consistency avoids highlighting skin texture you might want to hide, making skin look smoother.

How to Apply Cream Highlighter

Cream highlighters are easy to apply. If you choose a highlighter like our blush and highlighter, simply apply the product directly to the area of ​​skin and blend with your fingertips.

If your product comes in a pot or compact kit, such as our Bubble Cream Highlighter, place it on a stippling brush and apply in short upward strokes.

Best Highlighter for Dry Skin

If you have dry skin, a moisturizing highlighting formula is especially important. Liquid highlighters are a great choice to create a dewy look without accentuating dry patches. They also provide a radiant glow without setting into fine wrinkles.

Application of Liquid Highlighter

Where you apply the liquid highlighter depends on the look you want. You can use this versatile formula under or over foundation – or on its own!

One of the great things about liquid highlighters is that they can also be blended with foundation to create a radiant look with ease.

We recommend applying liquid highlighters, such as Bright Light Glow Drops, with a damp makeup sponge, allowing the formula to seep into your cheeks for a subtle glow.

Where you apply your highlighter is crucial for creating an especially intense glow. Focus on the highest points of your face, such as your cheekbones, the tip of your nose, your brow bones, and your cupid’s bow. That’s how you achieve a radiant effect.

Best Highlighters for Oily or Combination Skin

If your skin type is oily to combination, a powdered highlighter may be the ideal formula for you.

Specially formulated to provide a matte finish, this highlighter enhances your skin’s natural glow without appearing greasy. It’s perfect for a balanced look, emphasizing your facial features without adding unwanted shine.

How to Use Highlighter Powder:

After setting your liquid makeup with powder, apply your highlighter of choice as the final step of your routine. We love our Reloaded highlighter compact in the color “Dare to Divulge” for the perfect glow.

We recommend using a face brush with a tapered tip so it glides easily over cheekbones. Apply your chosen highlighter to the highest points of your face. Don’t be too generous, even a small amount goes a long way.

If you want to increase the glow, apply the product gradually to achieve your desired brightness.

Now that you know which highlighter is best for your skin type, you can make your skin glow!
