Liquid highlighters are a great way to add glow to cheekbones and other high points of the face without looking too “done”. With the right blending (use your fingers or a blurring brush), you can achieve that lit-from-within look in seconds.
Where once the liquid highlighter market was full of just pearl toned shades, these days brands have expanded their offerings to include an array of skin tones – excellent news and a very much needed development.
Looking for the right liquid highlighter for your skin tone? Right this way.
Napoleon Perdis Light Thief
This liquid highlighter comes in seven skin tone-based shades, meaning there is likely one that blends well with your skin tone for a glowy look that feels natural.

If you’re someone with pale skin tone that has a rosy undertone, pink highlighter can be a lovely way to highlight the natural flush of your skin without feeling like you’re adding unnecessary blush.

If you naturally tan during summer, a golden bronze illuminator can help add glow to cheeks, or be added to your foundation to bump up the colour during warmer months.
