On most occasions, if I have to choose between wearing liquid or powder highlighter, I’m going with the latter. Come on; nothing beats the convenience of being able to mix a dollop of liquid formula with my BB cream and apply all over the face. On the other hand, pulling out the brushes and risking a chalky, streaky finish is not my idea of a good time. And if it’s not applied correctly, I risk covering up that freshly-moisturized, dewy glow that takes a pretty stringent routine to achieve in the first place.
All of that aside, I still won’t completely dismiss the necessity of at least one powder product this time of year. If I had to choose one, it would definitely be highlighter so I can brighten my complexion and also ward off excess oil. While liquid foundation and other heavier forms of coverage are the equivalents of a warm blanket during the winter, powder illuminators are what help keep makeup from melting into the collar of your carefully-curated outfit. In other words, without the security of a powder product, your makeup can be a major buzzkill.
So whether you want to brighten all over the face or add just a little pizazz to your cheekbones, here are the lightweight powder highlighters that won’t dismiss the dewy or leave you feeling cakey.
