Best Face Highlighters of 2025

"This is definitely one of the best highlighters I've come across. It's inexpensive but looks flawless. I never leave home without it!"

"I love the shimmer this product provides! I initially bought it for my daughter, but I loved it so much that I had to get another for myself!"

"While the color was pretty, it didn’t quite match my dark tan skin, which was a bit disappointing. However, the packaging was charming and in great condition."

"As a minimal makeup user, I've never relied heavily on foundation. Now approaching 70, I've found this light illuminator to be a wonderful addition. It gives my skin a subtle glow without hiding imperfections. It feels great, is affordable, and the size is perfect for travel."

"I opted for the medium shade and it turned out to be an excellent bronzing shade when mixed with my skin tint. It adds a beautiful bronzing glow, although I recommend caution if you have sensitive skin due to the salicylic acid. Fortunately, it's not an issue for me!"

"I absolutely adore this product! It's lightweight and gives a smooth coverage, perfect for my everyday look. It has a slight shimmer, and while it’s not meant for heavy coverage, it fulfills my need for a natural glow. I'm thrilled with my purchase!"

“I absolutely love this highlighter! It's one of the best I've ever used, giving me a soft rosy glow that perfectly complements my blush. I can't believe it’s only $5! I'm definitely going to try the other shades. It has quickly become my favorite product because it looks very natural on my skin.”

“Every time I do my makeup, I use this product! It's amazing how little you need to achieve the desired effect. I give it a 10/10! The shade is just the right sparkly gold I'm looking for, and the shipping was really fast too!”

“I've been using this highlighter since I started doing makeup, and it has remained my all-time favorite. The color is really pretty, especially for my fair skin. I like how it gives the right amount of shine, and I will definitely buy it again, especially at this price!”

“I've found the quality to be fantastic, and it's super easy to apply on my face. Totally worth the money! The pigment lasts the whole day, giving my face a dewy glow. I only need a small amount to achieve this.”

“This highlighter is a wonderful dupe. If you can work quickly and know what you're doing, you'll love it. However, if you're unsure about where to place it or have texture issues, it might not work for you. The pigment is very noticeable and highlights imperfections. It dries quickly, so blend fast! I did notice it stained my sponge, which shows how pigmented it is. Plus, the applicator can get quite messy.”

“I've had this product for over a year, and it’s still going strong! The shimmer is just right, not too glittery, and the applicator is soft and user-friendly.”

"I've tried countless highlighters and contour products, but finally found the Wet and Wild Megaglo Blushlighter set that works perfectly for me. I was hesitant about the metallic finish, but it not only highlights my cheekbones but also contours beautifully. If you have very fair skin like mine, you should definitely give it a try. It's fantastic, and I usually don't write reviews, but this deserves a 5-star rating!"

"I appreciate how pretty the shades look once applied; they really sparkle. I ordered two different shades, and they are just beautiful on my skin."

"Even though I love this highlighter, I feel like it could use a bit more pigmentation. For those with darker skin tones, the blush doesn't really stand out, but overall, I keep coming back to this brand because it’s affordable and the colors are stunning. I'm definitely going to purchase it repeatedly!"

"I find the NYX Jumbo Multi-Use Highlighter Stick to be a dream to apply. The creamy texture glides on effortlessly, blending beautifully with just my fingers or a brush. The Vanilla Ice Cream shade gives a lovely, subtle shimmer that looks natural and radiant, perfect for any occasion."

"I use this highlighter daily for my inner corners and nose. It provides a fantastic shine and blends seamlessly, giving me an ethereal look. I feel like a princess when I wear it! Plus, I've been using it for a while, and I'm not even halfway through!"

"I'm really satisfied with this highlighter stick. The formula is gentle and doesn’t irritate my eyelids. I appreciate that it’s not overly pigmented, which works well for me personally. It’s easy to use and provides the perfect amount of shine."

"As a highlighter enthusiast, I've tried so many highlighters, but L'Oréal Paris Lumi Le Glow Highlighter Stick is my absolute favorite! It glides on effortlessly and gives my skin a beautiful, luminous glow. I apply it to my cheekbones and other areas, and it blends seamlessly. I love how it feels light on my skin, plus it lasts all day without fading. And the price? So affordable! I can't recommend it enough!"

"After seeing an influencer use this product, I decided to give it a try. It's a lovely highlighter that glides on easily and blends beautifully. I'm really impressed with how pretty it looks on my skin!"

"I adore this glass highlighter! It provides a natural glass skin glow that is both buildable and blendable. It makes my skin look stunning, so much so that I ended up purchasing additional shades!"

"I can do my makeup in five minutes! These sticks are so effortless to apply and blend. I bought two sets—one for my travel bag and another for my bathroom. They’re small and compact, perfect for my purse!"

"I really enjoy the color of the contour, and it blends out nicely. However, I can't help but notice it smells like old used crayons to me. That said, I can overlook it because the product is really good for the price."

"I decided to try this after my friend recommended it, and I absolutely fell in love! The application is super smooth, and I don't need much product at all. I even use the lighter shades as eyeshadow. I’ll definitely be purchasing again!"

"This is my first time using a highlighter, and I'm absolutely in love with it! The highlight is buildable for more glow, which is definitely a plus for me!"

"I found this highlighter to be perfect for my needs. It works really well!"

"I used this as a body glitter, and it held up well against sweat and sun. It was very smooth and creamy, and it lasted quite a while without any extra help. I would definitely buy it again!"

"This is my second time buying this blush, and I absolutely love it. I'm a fan of Milani's blushes; they are lovely and high quality at amazing prices. This formula is one of the best out there. I enjoy makeup and am always on the lookout for affordable, good quality alternatives to luxury products. This blush is definitely one of them. You get a lot for your money!"

"I wasn't sure what shade to choose for a natural-looking soft pink blush to complement my white hair. After reading many reviews and looking at pictures, I decided on Dolce Pink. When I received it, I brushed it on, and it turned out to be a beautiful natural soft pink color. I'm thrilled!"

"I was definitely disappointed with this blush. It is way too shimmery and sparkly. While the product is good, it doesn't provide a rich glow, leaning more towards a costume glam look."
