Ever wondered how your favourite beauty gurus and celebrities come off looking like they’ve been kissed on the cheeks by the morning sun? Well look no further! Presenting five cheek and face highlighters that will have you humming to Stevie Wonder’s “Golden Lady”
Nars blush highlighter in Albatross
This highlighter right here was my first ever highlighter and it is everything!! Do not be put off by the whitish colour. It deposits a soft yellow gold glow on the cheekbones and should be used with a light hand, building up gradually to the desired finish. It can also be used on the bridge of nose as a highlighter.
Nars blush in Taj mahal
Taj Mahal is a gorgeous shimmery golden orange blush that can be used as a highlighter for dark skinned women or worn on its own. It is a stunning cult classic and I had to get my hands on it after it got the thumbs up from celebrity makeup artist Sam Fine.
Mac mineralise skin finish in gold deposit
This gem literally deposits gold on your face and it is also a beautiful facial highlighter.
Mac iridescent loose powder in golden bronze
This is gold dust (literally). Use it with a blush brush (using a really light hand) to highlight cheekbones. It’s can also be mixed (sparingly) with your foundation and moisturizer to add an extra glow to your skin.
Maybelline face studio master highlight
This soft finely milled highlighter is super affordable and comes in four shades that are gorgeous on all skin tones.
