7 Of The Best Highlighters For Brown Skin (& Yes You Are Gonna Need All 7)
Finding the best highlighters for brown skin can be a first world kinda problem for some (hence my stank face above). Some are too glittery, some are too flat and some…well some clearly were not made with us in mind. Bronze and golden pigments are undeniably an instant winner for us brown girls. With the warmer weather chasing old man winter out the door it’s time to think about what your glow up will look like this Spring.
Here are 7 of the best highlighters (IMO).
1. MAC MINERALIZE SKINFINISH
I don’t really know what slow-baked actually means but I know when we talk about blush and highlighters it’s what makes them great. Whenever you see me out please know that this velvety soft domed face powder from MAC is most likely responsible for my radiant finish.
2. BECCA SHIMMERING SKIN PERFECTOR PRESSED
This Becca powder is a really close second for my go-to highlighters. It gives a soft pearlized glow that is great for highlighting or can be worn alone (aka foundation free) to give your skin a little pop.
3. CLINIQUE CHUBBY STICK SCULPTING HIGHLIGHT
The sucky part about my first two picks is that I’ve shattered them both while traveling. I’ve learned my lesson. I keep this chubby stick from Clinque in my travel makeup bag while I’m away. She’s quickly becoming my favorite for this reason alone.
4. ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS GLOW KIT
This palette gives you the most bang for your buck. It has four metallic powder highlighters for intense luminosity. You can wear them separately or layer and blend the shades together.
5. BOBBI BROWN HIGHLIGHTING POWDER
This shade is especially flattering on medium brown skin. It’s a super high-impact, light-reflective powder that gives skin shimmering pink highlights. Use with caution LOL.
6. NARS Orgasm Illuminating Loose Powder
If you’re looking for a dewy glow up, this is the winner. It’s filled with light-reflecting liquids that glide on to refresh and enhance your complexion to create a shimmering incandescence.
7. URBAN DECAY NAKED ILLUMINATED SHIMMERING POWDER FOR FACE AND BODY
Whenever you see the clavicle of your favorite celebs shining bright like a diamond you can bet it’s this product’s fault. This baked powder gives a radiant glow that doesn’t leave specks of glitter on your cheekbones or your chest.
So.. what are your favorites? Leave me a comment below.
