The 10 Best Liquid, Powder And Cream Highlighters In 2021

Whether you’re looking for a luminous sheen, or just the right hint of shimmer to complement your facial contours, choosing a great highlighter says a lot about your makeup choice. And let’s not forget the rosy, dewy skin we all love.

We have tried a little bit of everything amid the lockdown, including perfecting the no makeup makeup look. Almost. But honing our beauty pro skills calls for taking our highlighting game up a notch - keep your cheekbones, inner corners of the eyes, and the bridge of your bone in special focus.
