Highlighters, we can’t get enough of them. In part one I shared my fave powders, it’s now time to shine a light on the lovely liquids! Liquid highlighters are a great way of achieving more of a natural glow. A great way to fake-it-to make it, they’re less obvious than powders and leave that much coverted dewy glow.
for all over, lit from within radiance
Laura Mercier Radiance Primer £29 John Lewis
Highlighter and primer in one! The flesh coloured cream imparts the most stunning lit from within, super-healthy glow. There’s no obvious shimmer or frostiness, just the most exquisite pearl tint that creates a soft focus effect and an all over dewy glow that lasts.the bargain buy
17 Skin Wow Primer liquid highlighter £5.99 Boots
Personally I find it a bit too full-on to use as a primer, but perfect for spot highlighting, especially on the cheek bones and temples. Dab a little anywhere you want a pearlised glow - a great alternative to high beam and a snip of the price.for show-stopping glow!
MAC Strobe Cream £10/30ml MAC
Mix a little with foundation for a fake it to make it glow or for added sheen and polish, lightly dab anywhere you want to highlight – cheek bones, brow bones, forehead etc– under foundation for a subtle look or over for amped up glow. And, as the name suggest, this one photographs beautifully.for a girly glow
Benefit High Beam £5/5ml Boots
Super easy to use with the dab-n-go applicator. High Beam has a slightly pinky tint that gives the most pretty pearlised glow. There’s a barely detectable shimmer and an overall frosty finish and it.stays.in.place! Thefor a sun-kissed glow
Loved this! I don't know why I still haven't tried Mac strobe cream yet! I like the Josie Maran Argan Illuminizer and the Becca backlight priming filter ( amazing ) xxx
