Hi Everyone!
Continuing my makeup inventory, today’s post is on highlighters! Check out my other mid-year makeup roundup!
Primers & Foundations | Bronzers | Blushes | Mascaras | Highlighters
Current inventory:
- 12 powder highlighters
- 1 liquid strobe highlighter from Milk Makeup
You can never have too many highlighters, especially when you can get different shades and you can use highlighter as eyeshadow too. I won’t be putting a makeup buying ban on highlighters.
Physician’s Formula Butter Highlighter in Pink
I love this, it’s creamy and gorgeous. I will definitely be picking up other shades of this highlighter.
Maybelline Facestudio Master Chrome Metallic Highlighter in 100 Molten Gold
This is a fave of mine. I would definitely pick up another shade since this is a bit too dark for my skintone.
Wet N Wild MegaGlo Highlighting Powder in Precious Petals
This is beautiful. I wish I could get other shades of this highlighter, but that’s all that was left in stock at Rexall.
Urban Decay Afterglow 8-Hour Powder Highlighter in Sin
I got this as a rewards bonus from Sephora. It’s really pretty and the nicest out of the higher end ones that I have. I don’t think I would pick up the full-size because there are so many pretty drugstore highlighters.
Clionadh Cosmetics Marble Highlighter in Mother of Pearl (read my review)
I picked this up at Indie Expo Canada. It’s a gorgeous marble highlighter. It’s more of a fun highlighter since it has different colours- it looks purple, but when you move it in the light, it changes.
Stila All Over Shimmer Powder
I picked this up at Winners. I don’t think I’d pay full price for it. The darker shade in the duo is beautiful, but the lighter one is a bit powdery. When mixed together though, they make a beautiful rosy gold shade.
Essence Light Up Your Face Luminizer Palette (read my review)
I really want to try the Pure Nude Highlighter by Essence which I plan to pick up at some point. One of the shades in this palette is kind of chunky which I don’t love.
MAC X Star Trek Trip the Light Fantastic Powder in Luna Luster
When I first swatched this, I was surprised that it wasn’t buttery. It’s actually better to use a fan brush with this one so that it can disperse the shimmer nicely. If you used your finger, you’d get a splotch of shimmer in one spot of your face. This highlighter looks better when wet.
H&M Spotlight Glow Powder in Sumptuous Peach (read my review)
The pan of this is huge and it’s a beautiful highlighter for a brand that’s known for clothing.
Inglot x Jennifer Lopez Livin’ the Highlight Illuminator in J201 Radiant (read my review)
I prefer to use this as a body highlighter since it’s a loose highlight.
Bobbi Brown Illuminating Bronzing Powder in Halo
This is kind of chunky which was surprising since it’s Bobbi Brown. After using the blush, bronzer and highlighter, I don’t think I would pick up a Bobbi Brown product from any of those categories. If I were to get a Bobbi Brown product, it’d be an eyeshadow palette or skincare-related products like primer and foundation.
Smashbox Blush Soft Lights Duo in Passion/Shimmer
This highlighter is pretty, but it’s a bit powdery, if you wet your brush, it looks better. The duo would be great for travel since it has a blush and a highlighter.
The prettiest highlighters were actually the drugstore ones (in my opinion). I prefer the wet look instead of chunky, shimmery highlighters. My favourites are the Maybelline Master Chrome, Wet N Wild MegaGlo and Physician’s Formula Butter Highlighter.
I realized that I forgot to include the Milk Makeup Liquid Strobe Highlighter in the swatches. If you want to see the swatch, you can read my review on it.
Love,
