Our Pick: The Best Highlighters To Try This Summer

Highlighters live up to their name - they enhance your facial contours, leading to a lit-from-within glow. This summer, illuminate your dull skin with the best cream, gel, and powder formulas on the market.

Much like skincare, we must layer our makeup products correctly for best results. If you're a true beauty pro, chances are you always reach for a highlighter. But with several options available, it can be hard to choose the one that's just right for your skin.
