MAC's Strobe Cream is subtle enough to apply straight onto skin and can be used in place of a primer for an all-over sheen. With a liquid formula, you can also mix a few drops into your foundation to brighten your whole base. Technically, you can use it wherever you want, but for the most part, it's applied to areas you want to draw attention too, like the tops of your cheekbones, along the brow bone and down the centre of the nose. NARS The Multiple will leave you with an undetectable gleam - aka your most natural looking highlight ever. We love Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter for a dewy daytime highlight.

If you're looking to fall somewhere in the middle, powders are good. There are pros and cons to each, so consider the following: do you want an intense shimmer, or more of a subtle daytime glow? Liquid highlighters pack the most pigment, go for Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops if you're looking for an out-of-this-world iridescent shine. Depending on your skin type and the finish you're looking for, you can choose between a liquid, balm, cream or powder. Yep, there are actually various formulas to choose from.

From Huda Beauty to Becca, MAC to NYX - these will get your base shining its very brightest.Īre there different types of highlighters? With that in mind, we decided to do you guys a favour and round up the greatest glow-givers in the UK. If you've seen it, chances are it's been buffed onto our face.

We've coined 2022 the year of the highlight and lucky for you, we've spent the last year using as many highlighters as we can find.
