Top 5 Hightlighters 


Left to right: Dim Light, Incandescent Light, and Radiant Light 

Right side of the face Incandescent light
Left side no ambient light powder 

On the top of my list for most loved highlighter of the moment is the Hourglass Ambient Light Palette. Hourglass offers 6 individual Ambient Light Powders that retail for $45 each on the Sephora and Hourglass website. They are meant too be universal finishing powders that recreate the most flattering light. Each powder serves a different function, from capturing light, diffuses light, to softening light. This palette retails for $56 and is an amazing way to test out two of the Ambient Light Powders
The three in this palette are (From left to right) Dim Light, Incandescent Light, and Radiant Light.  Incandescent light is the only powder that is limited to this palette. 


Second favorite would have to be MAC Mineralized Skinfinish in Redhead. MAC Minerealized Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle is a dupe for Redhead (Redhead was limited edition). This powder gives a soft rose gold highlight to skin. 


Stila Kitten duo is for sure on of the best highlighting products on the market. It is like 3 highlighters in one, you can use each shade on their own or mix them together and create a gorgeous golden champion highlight. This product retails for $22 and can be purchased on the Stila Website as well as Sephora


Covergirl Shimmering Sands Trio is the most inexpensive of the bunch! Another great part about this product is that it comes with two other eyeshadows. You could complete a great natural eye look and then use the champion highlight on the cheek bones. 



More blended out on the skin for a more sheer wash of color

Benefit High Beam is a light pink champion liquid highlight. This highlight retails for $26 and can be purchased at Sephora, Ulta, and Benefit. I love to apply this highlight underneath or mixed into my liquid foundation. I recommend applying liquid highlighters before applying any powder products to the skin. 

These are just five of my favorite highlighting products. I hope you enjoy. Let me know what some of your favorites are.
