Regardless if I’m having a full makeup day with foundation or a half-makeup day with concealer and a few other products, if I’m wearing makeup that day I’m wearing a highlighter of some type. As I mentioned in my Fenty Beauty First Impressions, I prefer two different types of highlights depending on their placement. A subtle highlight that gives a glow from within on my forehead, cupid’s bow and chin. And a blinding highlight on the top of my cheeks and down the bridge of my nose. Though days where I’m only wearing concealer, I only highlight the tops of my cheeks as otherwise it will generally vanish too quickly as there’s nothing underneath to hold it in place. So I have more blinding highlighters in this list then subtle ones.
Subtle Highlighters
- Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder
- Fenty Beauty Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter
Blinding Highlighters

What type of highlight do you prefer? Subtle/wet or blinding to the heavens?
