The Best Highlighters for Every Skin Tone


Highlighters are essential for achieving that radiant, lit-from-within glow. Whether you prefer a subtle sheen or a blinding highlight, there’s a product for everyone. Here are my top 10 highlighter picks that will elevate your makeup game.

The Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter is known for its ultra-buttery texture and intense pigment. It delivers a stunning glow that’s perfect for all skin tones. I love using it for evening events; its reflective finish makes my skin look luminous under any light.

The Anastasia Beverly Hills Stick Highlighter has a unique gold shade that complements a wide range of skin tones. Its finely-milled formula gives a seamless, reflective finish that’s perfect for a night out. It’s my go-to for adding a touch of glamour to my makeup.

With shades ranging from subtle to bold, the Fenty Beauty Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter offers versatility and a beautiful glow. The creamy-powder formula blends effortlessly into the skin, making it ideal for both everyday wear and special occasions.

The Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter is a hybrid product that can be used as a primer, highlighter, or mixed with foundation for a dewy finish. It provides a soft-focus effect that blurs imperfections while adding radiance. I love using it for a natural, everyday glow.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder is perfect for those who prefer a subtle, natural-looking glow. The finely-milled formula diffuses light to give a soft-focus effect. I use it as a finishing powder to set my makeup and add a gentle radiance.

The Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Highlighter is long-lasting and provides a radiant finish that stays put for up to 12 hours. It’s perfect for all-day events or long workdays when I need my glow to last. The natural ingredients also make it great for my skin.

The MAC Mineralize Skinfinish has a baked formula that provides a natural, luminous finish. It enhances the skin’s radiance without being overly shimmery. I love using it for a daytime glow that looks effortless and fresh.

The Benefit Cosmetics Watt's Up! Cream-to-Powder Highlighter is easy to apply and blends seamlessly for a soft, champagne glow. It’s perfect for quick touch-ups throughout the day. I keep it in my makeup bag for an instant boost of radiance.

The Milk Makeup Flex Highlighter has a unique formula that moves with your skin, providing a natural glow without settling into fine lines. It’s my go-to for achieving a youthful, dewy finish that lasts all day.


Add these top highlighters to your makeup collection for a radiant, glowing complexion that will make you shine.
