Hey doll faces. I thought I’d share my 5 FAVOURITE HIGHLIGHTERS with you all. I’ve been meaning to do this post for a while now. The pictures have been sitting around in this post, yet I just hadn’t got round to writing anything up. I love using a highlighter on my cheekbones &/or brow bones to add some dimension to my face. Or to add a glow to my skin by mixing it into my foundation on gloomy days. My current favourites are these…
High Beam by Benefit RRP £18.50 - I’ve had this for ages. It’s from a sample I got in a magazine. Goes to show how long this really lasts. Great texture & blends in beautifully into your skin. I mainly use this on my cheek bones.
Watt’s Up by Benefit RRP £24.50 - Read by review of this HERE. But I adore this champagne highlighter. I’d say it’s more on the bronze side of things. It looks great on Asian clothes & when you’re wearing black. I love a good gold & black combination.
Polished by Topshop (limited edition, roughly £10) - This is most probably my favourite Topshop make-up purchase. I’m super gutted that it was limited edition as I use this sparingly because I don’t want it to run out. Little goes a long way. It’s has the creamiest yet lightest texture & smells so good that you gotta refrain your self from licking it… Only me then? Ah, well!
Skin Glow by Topshop RRP £10 - I tend to use this with my foundation. It gives my skin a gorgeous glow to it with any foundation (I prefer to mix it with my MAC Face & Body). I love the iridescent finish of it.
Icing by Daniel Sandler RRP £12 - These water colours by Daniel Sandler have been raved & raved by beauty bloggers & damn skippy they should be! My favourite out of the ones I own is this. It’s got a beautiful shimmery pink look to it. I love wearing it with Hoola by Benefit.
Here’s what they look like in normal day light. Beautiful! I only introduced highlighters into my make-up regime about a year ago. I don’t know what I’d do without them now.
I still want to try MAC’s Lustre drops & the NARS multiples. What are your favourite highlighters? Any that I should add to my mental wishlist? 
I love the look of High Beam! I’ve got a Nars multiple in Luxor which I use a lot as a highlighter. Its great for the tops of cheekbones or sometimes I use it just on the browbone.
High beam is gorgeous. I wore it A LOT last summer. I really do need to gt my hands on at least 1 NARS multiple!
I’ve got 4 or 5 nars multiples, I don’t love them that much. They wear off quite quickly, especially Copacabana. and for them to last you have to layer them, which defeats my purpose of quick and easy.
I LOVE MAC’s cream colour base in Pearl. That is seriously one of my favourite highlighters. You need this baby.
OOOOOH and Becca’s shimmering skin perfecter! LOVE! Expensive but love it!
Other ones I like are Jemma Kidd Dewy Glow, MAC Strobe cream to mix in foundation, Illamasqua cream blush in lies.
OOOH and NARS powder highlight in Albatross! if anyone is after a powder highlight!
The end!lol
LOL - will deffo google it now x
We NEED to go shopping together (when I have money LOL), hahahaaa! X
I fell in love with how Polished by Topshop looks in your swatch, but then I read that it’s limited edition.. of course they’d do that! aaaahh
I knowwww
I’m on the look out for a dupe, though! Fingers crossed
I bought the Daniel Sandler icing a couple of weeks ago, I love the texture of it, still need to buy the specific brush to use with it though xx
I have the brush!! It’s really good once you get the hang of it
I have the nars multiple in copacabana and it’s so disappointing! My favourite highlighter is mary lou-manizer from the balm, I got it from amazon for about £14 and it’s amazing, super pigmented too!
Oh no, I might steer clear from the multiples, then! I’ve not heard of that before, I must get onto google!
I love Benefit high beam, Nars Orgasm and Giorgio Armani illuminators they are fab. great post have a wonderful weekend!
I’ve heard great things about Giorgio Armani make-up as a whole. High beam is gorgeous
Thanks hunny, you too! x
I love Topshop’s polished one!

Just gutted that it was limited edition!
Hey hun! Fab post - I am getting back into highlighters after a year or so of rushing makeup everyday and getting into a boring routine. I always used to use them, so it’s great to get such a good indication as to which are good and what they look like!! x
Awww, no worries doll! I’m glad you liked it

Hello lovely, I’m loving the new layout. I just wanted to tell you that I was in topshop today and I swatched their creamy highlighted in ‘sun beam’ and fell in love, it’s so pigmented and creamy lovely for summer! I also love the highlighting duo by NARS which is promoted in their newest collection, it’s worth checking out
great post I’m such a highlighted junkie!
Xx
Thanks hun! Amazing, I’ve just got a hold of ‘Albatross’ - it’s gorgeous! x
My iPad doesn’t seem to like the word highlighter it keeps changing it to highlighted lol! So sorry about that.
Xx
LOL - no worries doll x
