The strength of a great highlighter is undeniable; but if luxurious-looking lit-from-within luminosity is the intent, pearlescent powders aren’t always the best option.
Luminisers of the liquid variety are able to deliver dewy, glossy skin without any signs of sparkle or shimmer.
Whether you want to swipe straight onto high points or play complexion chemist by blending with your base, here are the Girlfriend-approved liquid highlighters. No glitter, just glow.
