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 Cube
TWO 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 Highlighter
Espoir 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🎶🎶

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 Highlight
A 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!

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!

CezanneTone Filter Powder Highlighter
I bought this hoping it would get rid of my dark circles. It gives off a subtle glow and covers them up. Since it's a powder highlighter, if you apply too much, it starts to crack and look cakey after a while. I also use it around the sides of my nose, and I recommend using it with contour because it makes your nose look smaller. I use it hoping to cover the redness around the sides of my nose and my nasolabial folds too, but it only makes them less noticeable, and completely covering them seems difficult.

CezannePearl Glow Highlight
The pearl gives your skin a glow that looks like it's lit from within. It's moist and adheres well to the skin, so it has decent staying power too. Applying it to the tip, bridge, and root of the nose adds dimension and gives a finish you'd never expect from such an affordable product. Lightly applying it over dark circles reflects the light and makes them look slightly less noticeable. When using it with natural makeup, you need to be careful to dab it on lightly with a brush, or you'll apply too much and it'll look overly glittery and stand out.

MudeFace Fill Volumer Highlighter
I use this more to cover dark circles and hollows in my face than as a highlighter. I had been using a pure white highlighter from another brand, but I thought covering them with a slightly softer color might look more natural, so I bought 02 first. The beige color is perfect for covering dark circles that concealer couldn't completely hide! The purple is good for brightening around the eyes and mouth. The newly purchased 01 also has a color that's slightly more beige-pearl than pure white, and it's really good for covering dark circles and adding volume beside the nostrils. The pale blue is the color for blasting away dullness, so for yellow dullness, this is all you need! Anyway, none of the four colors are throwaways—in fact, I love this so much that I practically can't finish my makeup without it! If you're bothered by shadows or hollows in your face, I want you to try it! If you adjust it little by little with a small brush, it won't look weird or stand out. I use a medium-sized brush on areas where I want to apply it softly. It doesn't crease partway through the day either. It adheres pretty well too. I seriously love this product.

DiorBackstage Glassy Glow Stick
The 2026 new Dior stick highlighter that went viral as a glass-skin highlighter I got it right after it launched, and it's the No. 1 highlighter I'm glad I bought this year✨️ The glow is just so beautiful✨️ But it's a subtle, just-right glow that isn't overdone🫧 It gives you a natural, dewy look that seems to glow from within🙂↕️ I wanted to use it for a natural look, so I went with the beige-toned 034 Glazed Bubble It has shimmer, but it isn't overly sparkly, so it's easy to use🙌 I was torn between this and the shimmer-free 017 Glossy Jelly, and I tried both on, but my impression was that there wasn't much difference (The beauty advisor also said there wasn't much difference😂) By the way, the Dior engraving shows up more clearly on 034, which gets me excited😂💞 Since it's a stick, it's easy to carry around, and being able to apply highlighter easily without a brush is another big plus🫶 I definitely recommend it😽
