Highlighter Watt's Up Benefit

Double-sided magic wand - highlighter on one side, sponge on the other. It resembles champagne in color, it has a small shimmer and bronze overflows. It is barely noticeable on the skin if applied with a stick and shaded with a sponge: just what you need for everyday makeup. And for filming, I distribute it with my fingertips - then it looks brighter.
Price: 2 550 rub
Cream base Cream Color Base, Luna, MAC

When you look at the product in the package, it seems that there are a lot of glitter in it. They really are, but when shaded they dissolve and leave a slight shine. Can be applied before foundation to illuminate the face from the inside. Use a fluffy brush to distribute.

Palette Duo 4, Medium, Kevyn Aucoin

I love working with creamy textures. This palette contains both a highlighter and a sculptor. I love it for its easy application and simple shading. Suitable for nude makeup.
Price: about 4,000 rubles
Cream highlighter Guardian Angel Cream Highlighter, Kevyn Aucoin

I distribute this product only with my hands - to control the degree of intensity. Neon highlighters are now in vogue - this is the new line of the Kevin Aucoin brand: it gives a 3D effect on the skin. I apply it on the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose and on the daw above the upper lip.
Price: about 3,000 rubles
Universal makeup tool The Multiple Stick, Copacabana, Nars

Another creamy strobe masthead! I use this multifunctional product as a highlighter (it is assumed that it also works as lipstick and shadows) and apply to the protruding parts of the face after foundation. The face is instantly refreshed and looks healthy. Try spreading over the lids instead of eyeshadow and adding black eyeliner - a great idea for a daytime makeup.
Price: about 2,000 rubles

Compact powder with the effect of radiance E xtra Skin A Dimension the Finish, soft frost, M. A. With

Blue, blue frost lay on her cheeks. The right cool shade for fair skin. Easy to vary the intensity. It not only gives a holographic glow, but also visually makes the skin smoother (good for those who are afraid of highlighters because of unevenness).
Price: 2 250 rub
Luminizer Born to Glow Liquid Illuminator, Nyx

The product has an average density, which by its consistency resembles a toothpaste, but flexible in shading. I praise the shade with a cool pink (but not grubby) pigment - the luminizer works well with dark shadows, if applied under the eyebrow, and with pink gloss, if applied to the checkmark above the upper lip.

Highlight & Perfect Multipurpose Stick, Maldives Luminescent, trèStiQue

Once again, the beautiful brand trèStiQue is on the scene, producing cosmetics in pencils. Following the blush, I am pleased to show the highlighter - it is one of the brand's assortment and is very cute. Maldives Luminescent is a versatile beige and pink champagne shade. At the opposite end of the bottle, as usual for the brand, a sponge is hidden.
Price: about 3,000 rubles
Face Glow Definer Cream Highlighter, Radiant Rose, Catrice

A creamy highlighter in an excellent travel-friendly package is part of a limited collection of strobing products (Catrice makes about 20 collections a year, they can afford such specialized collections). Neutral pink color, fine sequins and a very comfortable sponge.
Price: 300 rub
Highlighter Barekissed Illuminator, shade Monaco, Sleek Makeup

I love Sleek highlighters - they have magical four-color palettes and a good line of liquid illuminizers. The lightest of the latter is the cool pinkish pearl Monaco. Unlike highlighter in palettes, Barekissed Illuminator is very gentle, does not shine for a kilometer and is well suited for daytime strict make-up.
Price: about 1,000 rubles
Highlighter Face 2 Change Roller T-Highlighter, Holika Holika

The indefatigable Korean brand has been leaning on decorative cosmetics lately. The novelty of last winter is a series with roller applicators: bronzer, BB cream and this highlighter. The brand recommends applying it all over the face if desired - this is a completely possible option: when applied thinly, the product shines very delicately. The roller is convenient, the bonus is the feeling that you are doing painting work.
Price: about 1 300 rubles.
Fluid with the effect of radiance Aurora Extreme Radiant shade Star White, Sergey Naumov

I have already praised Afterglow from Sergey Naumov's Aurora line, and now we are showing the second shade of the highlighter, pearl Star White. It shines brighter and stronger - a multi-colored shimmer has been added to the base, and quite large. On our swatches, it turned out to be more peachy than in real life, but it is clearly seen that the highlighter does not bleach and will perfectly set off not only porcelain skin, but also tan.
Price: 2 500 rubles
Shining powder for face and body Naked Illuminating Trio, Urban Decay

Limited palette, which, however, can still be found - it makes sense to try to do it. The shades in the palette were specially designed for her (Naked Illuminated is available in large format, but there are different colors) and everything shines wonderfully. The leftmost Pyrite will replace the bronzer, the rightmost Twilight will replace the peach blush, and Oasis will replace the classic highlighter.
Price: 2 900 rub
Highlighter Sheer Highlighting Duo, shade Reflects Gilt, Tom Ford

Part of the summer collection of the most beloved and luxurious is the Reflects Gilt double highlighter in a white and gold glossy powder box (usually Ford has dark packaging). Both shades have an almost metallic sheen, both warm and dark enough - so much so that both shades can easily replace bronzer on fair skin.
Price: about 4 500 rubles
Highlighter Blushing Hearts Goddess of Love, shade Goddess of Faith, Makeup Revolution

Makeup Revolution's hearts convey an unequivocal hello to the Too Faced brand, but overall that doesn't make them any worse. In a cute cardboard box - golden powder of soft texture and fine grinding. The product is bright enough when laid with a dense brush, but it lends itself well to shading.
Price: about 600 rubles
Shimmering Highlighter Powder Highlighter, shade Dandelion Twinkle, Benefit

A delightful new addition to the work of the most playful brand in the world - a delicate pink and gold highlighter, continuing the successful Dandelion line. If the original blush is a cool dusty pink color, then the highlighter came out rather warm, golden peach. Very delicate texture and gentle effect on the skin.
Price: 2 500 rubles
Highlighter Dewy Stick, shade Glow, Ciaté London

I really like the Ciaté London brand, presented in our market in spring, with its frivolous approach to makeup (and quite serious - to quality and design). The Dewy Stick in my Glow shade is almost transparent: it leaves more of a wet flare than some more subtle shine. Suitable for the most modest.
Price: about 1 600 rubles
Highlighter Pure Light Compact Illuminating Powder, shade Aura, Delilah

The only highlighter shade in the range of a niche British brand. The powder itself is three shades flowing into each other - a very beautiful pattern, similar to a piece of a world map. When mixed, you get a delicate golden-pink, with which it is impossible to overdo it even if desired.
Price: about 3,000 rubles
Palette highlighters Exotic Fruit Highlighter Palette, Wycon

A luxurious (and compact!) Palette of as many as nine colors - here are collected all the shades that can only interest a lover of radiance. The rightmost reddish is more like a blush, and a couple of golds can be used as bronzers, so it's also a great travel piece.
Price: about 2,000 rubles
Pro Light Fusion 02 Golden Make Up For Ever

I love products made in Prisma Shine technology - when the pigment is mixed not with a powdery base, but with a gel base, due to which the product becomes brighter, lays thinner on the skin and blends perfectly. This is exactly how Pro Light Fusion is made - even in a light application, it gives a noticeable golden flare, but at the same time the grind is very fine and individual glitters are not visible.
Price: 2 800 rub
Brush cream strobing Illuminating Brush, Dr. Jart +

This piece has an applicator in the form of a wide brush (it is easy to remove to wash), and the highlighter itself is a very soft glowing cream that can be applied to the entire face as a primer. In order to achieve a true DAT GLOW, several coats will have to be applied.
Price: 4 875 rub
Liquid highlighter Alliance Perfect, shade "Shining pearl" (Icy Glow), L'Oreal Paris

In my personal opinion, this is one of the best products for fair skin in general and for creating "ice" images. This is a bluish porthole: very cool, with a strong shine and noticeable individual glitters. There is a more familiar pinkish-beige shade in the line, but it is Icy Glow that is a godsend for every Snow Queen.
Price: about 600 rubles
Highlighter Sparkling Dust, Inglot

Heavy Artillery is a true shimmery powder with large glitter, which the brand recommends sprinkling on just about everything, including the eyes and body. The set includes a puff, which in this case is better to use than a brush - there is less risk of sprinkling everything. For a party and a prospect, dazzling everyone around you is perfect.
Price: about 1,000 rubles
Palette of highlighters and blush Invisible Illumination, shade Nordic Glow, Lumene

The “palette of highlighters” on the cover of the product is a somewhat misleading name: in fact, there is only one highlighter. plus two shining blush. Fully refurbished this year, the Finnish brand offers creamy, delicate textures that will suit even makeup beginners: easy to apply and blend.
Price: about 1,500 rubles
Hi-Lite Highlighter Palette in Mermaids, Lime Crime

The eccentric brand Lime Crime, adored and hated on Instagram, this year successfully continued its series of Hi-Lite highlighters with the Mermaids palette - the most unconventional in the line. In addition to the classic Pearl champagne color, the palette includes shades of Seashell and Mermaid - respectively, lavender and green, unusual, but very beautiful and perfectly fit into makeup.
Price: about 3,500 rubles
Palette highlighters Made to Sparkle Prismatic Palette, shade Don't Let Anyone Ever Dull Your Sparks, Essence

The star of the Made to Sparkle collection is a palette of highlighters in four shades: if you don't feel like paying hellish thousands, but want to try the mint highlighter, this is your candidate. Four powdery shades, one more beautiful than the other - lavender, green, pink and gold. The authors clearly looked back at the same Lime Crime, but who can blame them.

Highlighter Beyond Powder, shade OMG, Illamasqua

The British brand, which has triumphantly entered our market, can do anything - both complex theatrical make-up and shades suitable for life. OMG perfectly balances these two qualities - this soft golden powder can be applied almost invisibly, or even holographic lamps will be put to shame.
Price: 2 900 rub
Arctic Holiday Holographic Highlighter, shade 01 White Snowflake, Kiko Milano

The Kiko Milano New Year collection has two perfect highlighters - golden Starry Gold and our icy purple White Snowflake. On the skin, it is a lovely snowy shade with a bright pink glow.
Price: about 600 rubles
Illuminating Foundation for Radiance Illuminator, Orgasm, NARS

François Nars has already released his Orgasm in all possible forms - blush, liquid blush, lip gloss. One of the representatives of the classic line is a liquid porthole, a cross between a highlighter and a blush. Like other members of the series, the product magically adapts perfectly to any skin color.
Price: 1 500 rub
Radiance make-up base, shade Pearl, Lush

It's actually a make-up base, but Shine works great as a highlighter. Due to the creamy texture and very delicate glitters, the product can act as the most delicate highlight, but you can layer it to a completely impressive shine.
Price: 360 rub
Highlighter-shine Master Strobing, shade Light Iridescent, Maybelline NY

The hit of this year is the stick highlighter, which the American brand has released in two correct shades: bronze and golden pink. We have the last option, the most versatile - this is a soft creamy shade, so balanced that it will suit absolutely everyone.
Price: about 500 rubles
Seas of Illuminations Reflective Emulsion, Sea of Tranquility, Rouge Bunny Rouge

I have already praised the Seas of Illuminations line of liquid highlighters - these are almost the best examples of the genre: soft but bright shine, very fine sparkles and perfect texture. There are three shades in the line - white, golden and soft pink Sea of Tranquility, which looks great both in combination with blush, and in itself.
Price: 3 040 rub
Powder compact Highlighting Powder, shade Moon Glow, Bobbi Brown

The founder of the brand is known as the queen of natural makeup, but she is also the goddess of highlighters (which is only her series Shimmer Bricks, which, among others, just introduced such a tool into fashion). Moon Glow in atypically shiny packaging for the brand is a cool golden hue that you should hurry up to: this is the New Year's edition.
Price: 4 150 rub
Highlighter Rainbow Highlighter, Makeup Revolution

This year, many brands were carried away by rainbow highlighters - among them were inexpensive but cool Makeup Revolution, which decided not to waste time on trifles and depicted a rainbow on the surface of the product. If you mix all the shades, you get a beautiful lavender pink color with large sparkles.
Price: 450 rub
Highlighter Cosmic Body Sparkle Fluid, shade Dazzle Bomb, Catrice

A novelty from the New Year's collection of our beloved Germans is a creamy highlighter in drops that can be applied to the face, collarbones and body (it’s not a pity - the bottle will last for a long time even with uneconomical use). The glitters are very small, and due to the oil base, the highlighter leaves a moist glow - a ready-made product for the now fashionable glass skin technique.
Price on request
Palette Face Sculptor Strobing, shade Warm Glow, IsaDora

IsaDora has a whole series of palettes called Face Sculptor, which includes various combinations of sculpting and regular blush. This one has a special Strobing mark, although fair-skinned girls can use the shades from here and as a bronzer - they not only give a shine, but also a noticeable color.
Price: 1 560 rub

Liquid highlighter High Beam Liquid Highlighter, Benefit

I'll start with a good old liquid highlighter, which has been in the legendary makeup products for many years: it is revered all over the world. It is good because it gives a nice, slightly damp, shine, which is great for strobing. A miniature glass bottle holds 10 ml at once, which will last for a very long time, because one drop of the product is needed for one use.
Price: 2 190 rubles
Highlighter Invisible Illumination Nordic Light Instant Illuminizer Shimmering Dusk, Lumene

In general, the product is suitable for every day and for strobing: you can either shade it to zero, or layered it for a rich and noticeable glow. Another interesting fact is that Lumene has added their Arctic spring water (all their cosmetics are based on it), cloudberries and peptides, so that there is not only visual beauty, but also care.
Price: about 1,500 rubles
Moisturizing cream-highlighter Shimmering Skin Perfector Liquid Highlighter, Becca

It is produced in seven shades at once, so you can choose to your taste, but I want to draw your attention to the universal Opal of champagne color, which can be used both in a feast and in the world. The Becca Liquid Highlighter stands out for its pliable texture and light shading, and it also shimmers very beautifully on the skin. In addition, it is available in two volumes of 50 and 20 ml, which is very convenient - you can take a small tube for acquaintance, and if you like it, come back for a larger one.
Price: 3 500 rub
Base for complexion with reflective pigments Neglige, L'Etoile selection

The product can be used not only as a make-up base, but can also be mixed with foundation or applied over it as a highlighter - the level of concentration of the shiny particles allows you to do this. It remains to choose from five cool shades and realize that such a cool thing costs only 674 rubles. (with the maximum discount).
Price: about 700 rubles
Powder-perfector with the effect of shine Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter, Moonstone, BECCA

The BECCA brand has made its name on highlighters, and they are really cool. Now in a constant assortment in dry texture 10 shades (there are also cream ones), and you certainly want to have the entire collection. I love them for their pleasantly graceful cases and the radiance they give. I especially want to highlight the universal BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter Moonstone - this is a light beige-gold pigment, but with a peach undertone.
Price: 3 500 rub
Highlighter Cosmetics Skin Frost, Jeffree Star

This product has two distinctive features: the weight, which is 15 grams, so the highlighter will definitely last for half your life, as well as unusual shades. The black? Turquoise? Pink? Mint? Maybe lavender? It's all to them! There is a place for makeup fans and all concerned lovers to roam around, especially since the radiance here easily reaches the level of "seen from space". Of course, there are also more wearable colors in the assortment, for example, Ice Cold - a pearl shade with a neutral temperature, which has become a bestseller in our country from the very beginning.
Price: 2 890 rub
Compact powder with shine effect Extra Dimension Skinfinish, MAC

MAC Extra Dimension Skinfinish duochrome highlighters in Double Gleam, Show Gold, Soft Frost, Beaming Blush appeared as part of the brand's New Year collection last year and immediately blew up the beauty market! After all, there have never been such obvious prismatics, but here there are four at once, and all are beautiful. Following MAC, other brands immediately pulled up, vying with each other to release their versions of duochroms. As usual, I want all the shades, but so far I only enjoy Soft Frost - a pearl base and a beautiful purple highlight, ideal for the "snow queens" of the big city. And they are also persistent, so you don't have to be afraid that by evening your radiance will fade.
Price: 2 450 rubles
Highlighter Super Shock Cheek, ColourPop

ColourPop Super Shock Cheek Highlighters in Over The Moon, Honeymoon and Perilune were released immediately after MAC and are distinguished not only by duochromic combinations, but also by the presence of glitter in the texture noticeable to the eye and an unreal level of shine. If you want to shine at all 200%, then this is definitely for them! By the way, this is the most budgetary option for prismatic highlighters - only $ 8 for each bottle. 10 budget highlighters can be found here.
Price: about 1,000 rubles
Highlighter Afterglow 8 Hour Powder Highlighter

From the entire line of the brand's products, I would like to highlight the shade Fireball, it is already becoming a landmark for the brand). This duochrome (yes, again!) Overflow from cold pink to warm sand is found not only in the highlighter, but also in the eyeshadows, eyeliner and lipstick, that is, you can assemble a whole iridescent set!
Price: about 2,000 rubles

Highlighter Killawatt Highlighter Metal Moon, Fenty Beauty

I have already managed to order and try the cosmetics of the new brand Fenty Beauty, which was created by the singer Rihanna. And they managed to release already a New Year's collection. But from the constant range, I really liked the Fenty Beauty Killawatt Highlighter Metal Moon highlighter. In packaging it looks white, but on the skin it shines with an ivory color - very beautiful and versatile for any makeup. I liked the quality of the product and the packaging: the white iridescent plastic stands out from the boring black packaging. And the very finely ground powder is like silk.
Price: about 2 500 rubles
Cream Highlighter Strobing Highlighting Stick, 01 Champagne Glow, IsaDora

IsaDora has an entire Strobing collection that includes two highlighter palettes, a pink pearl fluid and a stick highlighter. The last one is my favorite. It's called IsaDora Strobing Highlighting Stick, champagne glow.
So far, it is presented only in a golden hue. I really liked its texture - it is easy to apply and blend, does not erase the foundation, shines very beautifully.
This format, in my opinion, is very convenient for travel, it is easy to carry with you - you do not need to use a separate brush, just run the stick over your face and slightly blend it with your fingers.
Price: about 1,000 rubles
Highlighter High Glow Mineral Highlighting Powder, 100 Light Infusion, Catrice

A wonderful mineral baked highlighter in a very beautiful light beige shade. Moderately delicate, it is good for every day and will suit almost any makeup. And it is inexpensive even in comparison with other mass-market brands, which is always good news!
Price: 360 rub
Highlighter Honey Bronze Highlighting Dome 01, The Body Shop

A very compact creamy highlighter, although comparable in weight to the sticks above. It has a golden bronze hue, is suitable for slightly tanned skin, has a moderate glow and will appeal to those who want to use a creamy product, but do not like the overly moist glow that many of them give.
Price: about 1 200 rubles.
Highlighter Secret Infusion strobing drops, Wycon

A very unusual tool - its texture is liquid and oily, pigment is mixed in it. But how great it shines! Secret Infusion strobing drops can be used both as a regular highlighter and under foundation, so that it “shines through” beautifully from the inside, and mix it with foundations to make them more radiant.

Stick porthole Bright idea illuminating Stick Lavender Lust, NYX

NYX has always pleased not only with its excellent and inexpensive means, but also with a large selection of different colors, including unusual ones. In their series of cream sticks, in addition to shades of bronzers, blush and highlighters, you can find a very unusual and fashionable now lavender highlighter with a silvery shine. This shade cannot be called natural, but we do not always strive for this. It stands out a little more than usual on the skin, but it can become an independent and very interesting accent in makeup.

Highlighter stick Glow Stick, shade Desert Sun, Bobbi Brown

If the phrase “highlighter with tanning effect” puzzles you, go to the nearest Bobbi Brown store and see for yourself - it happens! In fact, as a highlighter I almost never use this stick, for me it is the perfect creamy blush and moisturizing nude lipstick. I blend on the "apples" of the cheeks, cheekbones and temples - a fashionable dripping is obtained. And when you feel like experimenting, I apply it to the center of the eyelid over the eyeshadow to create a wet effect.
Price: 2 400 rub
Highlighter Wonderful Cushion, Sephora

This product appeared in my cosmetic bag by accident: a friend brought it as a gift. But after the very first use I realized that it could well become a contender for the role of the main favorite! Highlighter from the Sephora Wonderful Cushon series (it also has a tonal base and blush) is presented in one shade - champagne, which is suitable for absolutely everyone. After using it, the skin acquires a healthy, hydrated look. If I need to cover up bruises under my eyes, I put a little on my finger and put it on the bridge of the nose at the corner of my eyes. Glittering particles reflect light, and the traces of sleepless nights are less visible.
Price: 600 rub
Highlighter Prismatic Hololighter Stick, Essence

If unicorns existed and put on makeup, they would first go to the nearest Essence corner for this new product. No wonder - a highlighter in a comfortable stick shape on your cheekbones will do magic.
The creamy texture allows you to apply the product with a light movement, without stretching the skin and without smearing the foundation - but the stick is not greasy and is perfectly shaded. Reflective particles with a fashionable duochrome effect shimmer from light pink to turquoise, and when shaded, give a subtle shimmer effect. The most daring can put a highlighter on the lips and go to a party in the style of the 90s - surpass Irina Saltykova herself.
Price: about 300 rubles
Highlighter Barekissed, Sleek

I mixed a drop of the product with foundation - the texture turned out to be uniform and easily spread over the entire face. The next day, I ran the highlighter along the line of the nose, just above the cheekbones and above the eyebrows. It's hard to overdo it with Barekissed - the tone is transparent, the glow is gentle. If you love Disney cartoons about fairies, then check out Sleek Highlighter - it echoes the cold glow of their skin. The texture masked the flaking on dry areas of the skin. The look is fresh and healthy. The only caveat is that you don't overdo it with the amount of foundation, or you will block the glow.
Price: about 1,000 rubles
Highlighter Highlighting Tint, Artistry

Pink cream-gel with reflective particles. Used as intended - as a base to create a fashionable gym skin effect. I do not recommend it for girls with noticeable pores - it can emphasize the relief. In this case, it is better to mix Artistry Highlighting Tint with foundation - the skin will shine very delicately, and the pink tint will give the face a fresh look. I wanted to achieve expressive shine - I hammered the product with the pads of my fingers on the cheekbones and temples (like a highlighter). The glow lasted all day!
Price: 3 220 rub
Highlighter Like a Doll Golden Infusion, Pupa

The division of cosmetics by seasons has long been out of fashion - I enjoy using the gold highlighter from the summer limited edition all year round when I want to refresh the tone.
