Best New Highlighters

Do you ever feel extremely guilty after splurging on some new makeup goodies? If you said “yes” I totally understand the feeling! One thing we wish we could all change about beauty products is the high prices on certain items. Have no fear because I have some cool products to share with you all that are affordable and work just as well (or even better!) than high-end products.

Strobing is a trend that took t

​he makeup world by storm. Strobing (aka highlighting) is the technique used to draw light to the high points of your face such as your cheekbones, bridge of your nose, Cupid’s bow, and brow bone. A great highlight can transform your whole makeup look, giving you a healthy glow that will draw attention. Finding the right highlight to compliment your skin tone is key! With the right undertones, (gold undertones, pink undertones, etc.) your highlight will look natural

and effortless.

To start it off I’m going to talk about my new ColourPop obsession. ColourPop has a line of cream highlights that are a dream; my favorite one is Avalon. These Super Shock Cheek pigments ($8.00) melt into the skin leaving a smooth finished look with a bit of shimmer. The warm golden bronze with pink finishes is perfect for fall! Another affordable highlight is Elf’s Golden Bronzer quad palette ($3.00). This palette is a collection of 4-bronzed shades that all complement each other. To get the best use out of this product I dust my highlighter brush along all 4 shades. This product can be found at your local drugstore.

Now onto some high-end highlighters, the competition between highlighters is at an all-time high! Two highlights that I love are Josie Maran Argan Illuminzing Powder ($30) and Laura Geller Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator ($26) in Ballerina. The Argan Illuminzing Powder is almost like a loose powder offering the ultimate shimmer with golden tones. Whereas the Gelato Swirl Illuminator is like a compact with hints of rose gold creat

​​ing a more natural shimmer.

All in all these 4 highlighters/ illuminators take the cake whether they are drugstore or high-end products! Each one offers a different look making them super easy to fit in your daily face routine.
