Highlighter may not look like much in the stick or pan, but the stuff holds a lot of power. It can hide the fact that our skin is dull from not drinking enough water. It can make our cheekbones go pow ! It can make our lips look fuller the instant it touches our Cupid's bow.
But the key word here is can. There's a world of difference between the right highlighter and the wrong one. You want blendable, you want non-glittery, you want natural. Luckily, Pinterest has streamlined the search and delivered the best ones to us on a shimmery platter. Ahead, find the six most-pinned highlighters on the mood board site right now.
For deeper skin tones, we recommend the Urban Decay baked highlighter. It's the easiest way to look sun-kissed without all the glitter.
