Highlighters are one of my favourite makeup products. They just transform the whole makeup look, give my face shape and more importantly leave my skin looking healthy. So today I thought I'd share my high-end highlighters that I think are well worth investing in.
Ofra Highlighter | £20
This is one of my favourite highlighters and I actually don't talk about it enough. This finely milled beauty gives the cheeks a seriously good sheen. It's more of an intense highlighter, which I actually prefer. The formula is so buttery and applies with ease. The shade Blissful is a really lovely Gold colour but is not too Gold. It's a really nice shade that would suit most skin tones.
Makeup Forever Pro Light Fusion Highlighter | £27.50
Makeup Forever have formulated a winning formula in the form of this highlighter. Makeup Forever describe that it has a gel-powder formula. It is so soft and pigmented. It isn't as intense as the Ofra one but I wouldn't say this is a subtle highlighter! The sheen this gives is incredible, it catches the light perfectly without being chunky or glittery. There are Two shades available. I have the shade 02 Gold, which has a Golden hue to it. It's slightly more Golden than the Ofra option. I also find this is super long wearing. At nearly £30 this is definitely worth investing in.
Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector | £32
This is a cult classic and for good reason. This powder is the silkiest, smoothest powder I've swatched! I have the shade Opal which is a classical Champagne colour, not too Pink nor too Gold. It gives an almost wet look to the cheeks, which I love. It doesn't contain any glitter or exaggerate any problem areas. It is rich and pigmented and just looks beautiful on. I've actually just read this can also be used as a setting powder to blur imperfections. I've actually tried it that way and to be honest I think this maybe too dewy, but I will try it again and keep you updated. I actually don't use this enough. This is pricy but so worth it.
Iconic Illuminating Drops* | £32.99
Is this really a surprise to anyone? I rave and rave about these drops because they are simply brilliant! This liquid highlighter can be used in a number of ways. As a primer, for a backlit glow, mixed with foundation to up the dewy-ness or as a highlighter. They work well in all ways but I personally love them as a highlighter. They give the face such a healthy looking sheen. The glow is quite intense but so natural looking. The drops melt into makeup but without moving it or causing it to separate. They come in 4 shades, so there is something for most skintones. I have the shade Original which is a lovely Champagne tone too. I only use a few tiny dots of this so although these are expensive they should last a really long time.
There you have my 4 high-end highlighters that I think are worth investing in.
Have you tried any of these? What's your favourite highlighter?
