It’s no secret that I love drugstore products (I mean who doesn’t love getting an amazing product for an amazing price?) Whilst drugstore brands have hundreds of lipsticks, mascaras and foundations they often lack in the extra products, like highlighters. When it comes to the drugstore highlighters are rare, glittery and often look chalky on the skin. In saying this, I do have a few drugstore faves.
Whether it’s a creamy illuminator tapped onto my cheekbones, a dab of shimmery shadow in the inner corners of my eyes or a hint of light reflecting concealer on my cupids bow; on the days I don’t contour I still highlight. Highlighter just has this amazing way of instantly brightening your face and making you look like you’ve had eight hours sleep (even though you’ve really only had two)
Revlon PhotoReady Skinlights Illuminators
These are (in my opinion) the best highlighting product on the drugstore market. The packaging sucks, but the formula is an amazing blendable liquid that reflects just the right amount of light and has the tiniest shimmer particles.
I’m generally not a huge fan of powder highlighters, but boy did these win me over. These give a beautiful sheen to the skin without appearing glittery, plus they double up as really beautiful eyeshadows. Apply powder highlighters with a small powder brush for best results. (I love Beau Make by Abbamart eye highlighting brush)
PS: I also love to use illuminating primers to highlight (the Loreal Lumi Magique Primer is great for that) or shimmery light eyeshadows.
PPS: Whilst highlighters are great at making your face look gorgeous and glowy you only want to use it on the highest points of your face, like the cheekbones, center of the nose, forehead and chin otherwise you may end up looking like Edward Cullen.
