FweeGlitz Stone HighlighterThe look is super cute, like something straight out of the Heisei girl era, but honestly, my dry impression is that it’s not all that once you put it on your skin. Well, these things happen. But it really does look cute and gets me excited, so I think it’s worth keeping in your makeup bag 🎀✨👏🏻💭

Two Slash FourStrobing Face CubeTWO SLASH FOUR by Isabe Strobing Face Cube 01 White A white contour highlighter that adds dimension. It comes with two different whites on the top and bottom, plus two brushes. 🤍Top: Bright, natural white 💎Bottom: Clear white with a bright, translucent-looking sheen It's a double-sided highlighter with matte white and glitter, and this matte white adds sooo much dimension 😳!! It's so easy to get a nice, defined nose bridge. Using it on the triangle area under the eyes instantly brightens it up and makes the overall balance look better. The glittery side can look a little too flashy, so I have to be selective about where I apply it, but this matte side is seriously amazing 👏✨

EspoirStrobing HighlighterEspoir Strobing Highlighter 07 Ruby Moon❤️💎✨️ A color that works perfectly well as blush too. The powder feels very moist, and the more you buff it with a brush, the more you get this glossy pearlescent finish that shines across the whole surface, but if you deliberately don't buff it and layer it on with light dabs, you can enjoy a slightly blue-toned glittery look🥰

ChanelBaume Essentiel\Elegant glow! Easy to swipe on with your fingers and perfect for glowy summer skin/ I received this as a birthday gift from a friend and have been using it. My personal color is warm autumn, and my skin tone is on the slightly lighter side. The texture is super moisturizing, and the way it gives you a glow is so elegant. Since it's a stick, it's easy to apply directly, and because it isn't too hard, it's also easy to quickly pick some up with your finger and blend it out. I usually use it as a highlighter on my cheekbones, the bridge of my nose, and the tip of my chin. Especially in summer, I recommend applying it to your collarbones because it makes your bare skin itself look fresh and dewy, which is so pretty! I've personally been into matte makeup lately, so I haven't been reaching for it quite as much, but I really like the quality itself, so next time I'd like to try one of the tinted color versions too.

CezanneTone Filter Powder HighlighterIt got so much hype that I was curious about it, but even though I wanted to brighten up my smile lines and make them look instantly brighter, the dryness bothered me 😭

CLIOGlass & HighlighterWhen I first bought it, it was really pretty, so I thought I’d made a good purchase, but the more I used it, the more disappointed I felt 🥲✨ At first, the shimmer applied evenly and had a pretty, subtle sparkle, but the more I used it, the more the product started clumping up, so it didn’t seem to pick up evenly on the brush When I first used it, the glow was pretty and it was great for adding a highlight, but after using it for a while, the clumpy parts made it hard to get a clean finish on my skin too 😭 Especially with a highlighter, it’s important for it to apply thinly and evenly, so that part was disappointing The color payoff itself is really pretty, but the longer I used it, the more disappointed I got, so I don’t think I’ll repurchase 🥲💔

WakemakeSheer Breeze HighlighterThis is such a cute highlighter with an elegant, glossy glow and a subtle hint of pink🪄︎︎🎀 It has the most understated sheen out of the ones I own, but most of the ones in my collection are super glossy to begin with, so I guess this would be more of a standard level of glow?🫶🏻 I don't really use highlighter on areas where my pores bother me, so I've never felt like it emphasizes texture. The powder isn't especially moist or anything, but I haven't noticed enough glitter fallout for it to bother me either◎ I use it on the high points of my cheeks, the bridge of my nose, and the inner corners of my eyes. When I use it on my inner corners, I apply this over a slightly wider area, then apply something glossier (Dear Dahlia is my favorite) to a smaller area, which adds dimension, so I do that a lot🎶🎶

DiorBackstage Glow Maximizer Palette
Backstage Glow Face Palette 004 Rose Gold Glow Glitter lovers, this is a must-see. So incredibly beautiful 😍🩷✨ Not just as a highlighter, it's way too cute as eyeshadow too ♡

Jung Saem MoolArtist Cushion HighlighterI'm a huge Jung Saem Mool fan, but I haven't been able to get the hang of this cushion highlighter at all. It has an incredibly fresh, watery texture that melts right in, but it blends in too well and gets absorbed into my foundation and disappears.. It's super hydrating, so it gives you that glass-skin-like glow, but it's still elegant, and if you can master it, it can make your skin look really beautiful, but it's a little difficult for me to use.. Maybe it's also because my skin tone is dark? Somehow the light just gets absorbed and disappears.. It also disappears even if I apply powder over it, so I've been experimenting to figure out at what point I'm supposed to apply it. And now it already seems like it's about to run out.. It also felt like there wasn't very much product in it. I've also tried applying it under my base makeup. When I do that, it gives my whole face a glowy finish! I like how this looks, but it might not be very cost-effective.. I really wanna get better at using balm and liquid highlighters, seriously!!

CanmakeMunyutto Highlighter
Out of all the highlighters I own, excluding stick balms and liquid types, this one had the juiciest glow (surprisingly) It gives a dewy, watery-looking glow! It has a squishy texture somewhere between a powder and a balm, with no powderiness at all. So it doesn't make your skin texture stand out in a bad way, and it's hard to mess up, which makes it extremely easy to use. Canmake is amazing.. It's tiny and convenient to carry around, so it's always in my makeup bag. I'm just so grateful that they made such an amazing, affordable product!!

CezannePearl Glow HighlightA highlight that really stands out. It looked too powdery and sparkly, so it wasn't for me since I prefer a natural look. But it might work for people who want a lot of sparkle and don't mind a noticeable color. It might be really nice on the bridge of your nose when going out at night.

hinceTrue Dimension Balm
Hahaha! This is so cute!!! No wonder everyone's talking about it. It's perfect. The glow, the texture, everything. The elegant pearl shimmer really gives your skin that dewy glow‼️‼️‼️ And it doesn't look like some cheap shine, it gives you that "My skin is naturally gorgeous‼️" kind of radiance. I'm seriously so glad I bought this‼️‼️‼️‼️

Bobbi BrownHighlighting Powder
This is Quartz Glow. It gives a soft glow that blends into the skin and makes my skin look so beautiful! It has a dewy glow without being too glittery, giving you an elegant, natural sheen. And it's easy to use! Since it's almost colorless, it works with any makeup look and skin tone. The elegant sheen also feels appropriate for any occasion. The powder is smooth, extremely fine, and adheres well. It lasts a long time too. It's a high-quality powder. I want to use it a lot!

DiorBackstage Glow Maximizer Palette
To put it mildly, it's amazing. I'm using 004 Rose Gold. The gold in the top left in particular gives off such a gorgeous, glossy shimmer, and it's just amazing. It looks way too cute when I lightly apply it to the tip of my nose and the inner corners of my eyes. It makes me look insanely good, so if anyone who uses this palette doesn't use the gold, I love it so much I'd want to buy it off them I apply the bottom left shade to my under-eye bags. I mix and layer the two shades on the right to match my blush, or layer them on individually. The texture of the powder is also incredibly beautiful, and it never looks cakey. I've honestly never found a better highlighter.

SELVEPrism Shot Multi Highlight Palette
Each of the 4 shades has a different vibe, and I loved that you can use them alone or mix them together💖 Top left: A peachy pink with cute chunky glitter Top right: A pink beige that gives you a natural glow Bottom right: A champagne gold with a bright, glamorous shine Bottom left: A cool-toned pink that can also be used as blush

PeriperaMood Like Highlighter
I saw the heart embossing on Insta, fell in love, and bought it right away, but it’s sooo much prettier in person. I’m a highlighter nomad and absolutely hate anything that goes on thick and cakey, but maybe because this is freeze-dried, the particles are seriously so fine❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥. Just lightly sweep it with a brush and put it on the bridge of your nose and the front of your cheekbones, and instead of an artificial cyber glow, it gives off this clear, translucent pearl radiance. It adheres really well too, so the gorgeous shimmer lasts all day without lifting!!! The packaging design is princessy too, so just having it sit on my vanity makes me feel good00 hehe I’m definitely repurchasing when I use it all up🤍🤍🤍

DiorBackstage Glassy Glow Stick
I bought this because the wet-look glow was just so beautiful. I use Rose, and since it has pretty strong color payoff, I was drawn to the fact that it can also be used as blush, so I chose this shade. It gets patchy when applied over powder blush, so when I want a dewy makeup look, I apply it over liquid blush.

DiorForever Glow Luminizer
I bought the limited-edition Sunkissed. The packaging is cute, of course, but the glow and shimmer are just way too pretty. By the time it went viral, it was too late and it was out of stock both in stores and online, but I turned on restock notifications and happened to snag one. I layer it on the tip of my nose, above my pupils, the inner corners of my eyes, and over blush. It's so versatile and I really love it.

Rare BeautyPositive Light Silky Touch Highlighter
The most intensely gleaming, bam! highlighter I own. Enlighten looks less white and more like the color of light itself. Exhilarate is a vibrant, yellow-toned, healthy-looking shade. Since it really shines, I don't use it over large areas, just on spots I want to accent, like the tip of my nose and inner corners of my eyes.

COLORGRAMMilk Bling Heartlighter
When it comes to highlighters, I can't recommend this one enough! Whenever I wear this, I get compliments almost every time❣️ All the COLORGRAM highlighter shades have a really beautiful glow, but out of all of them, 02 Pink Heart is my absolute favorite. It works great as both a blush and a highlighter. It's convenient because you can quickly and easily apply it with one hand. A little also goes a long way and blends out well, so I feel like it's great value for money too. I love this color so much that I've already repurchased it about five times!
