High-end Highlighters I Own
I own several high-end highlighters, but not many. Let's see. I bought the Stila, Laura Mercier, Benefit one and the cover fx mini. The one from Ofra came in a Boxycharm box, and the one from The Balm from an Ipsy bag, which I paid for as well.
Swatches Left to Right CoverFX (Moonlight), The Balm(The luminizer), Ofra (Rodeo Drive), Benefit Dandelion (Twinkle), Laura Mercier (Highlight 01), Stila Heaven's Hue Highlighter (Kitten)
As you can probably see I use the one from Laura Mercier the most. I love them all. All of them do not emphasize my textures or pores. They sit nicely on my skin, and any of the ones I use just becomes one with my skin.
Stila Heaven's Hue Highlighter in Kitten is a beautiful shimmery nude pink shade. I love this! This has a unique texture to it. It feels so so buttery! No powder kickback. It's not even powdery at all! It gives a beautiful shimmer to the tops of your cheekbones without looking glittery. You don't even feel it on the skin. Also Stila is cruelty free. This is fragrance free.
Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked Powder in Highlight 01 Golden Nude is a soft nude shade. It says that it's matte, but to me it looks like a satin matte finish. It's beautiful! It's the one I use the most beside my drugstore one from Essence. This gives a nice soft subtle glow to your cheeks. You could use this over the face with a large powder brush for a soft glow. This has a nice soft texture when I touch it. It's hard to explain. It's almost velvety to me. There really isn't any kickback. This also has vitamin e and jojoba oil. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps to protect skin against the effects of free radicals. Jojoba oil is moisturizing and helps soften skin. Spherical powders allow for increased comfort and blendability. This is fragrance free.This is cruelty free as well.
Benefit dandelion twinkle highlight is a pink nude shade. I love this too! Well honestly you're gonna hear me say I love all these. LOL. This reminds me of the Laura Mercier highlighter but it's slightly more pinker. But the finish feels almost the same. Once again, you can use this just on top of your cheekbones or use a large powder brush to sweep it all over the face for a subtle glow. This does give you a soft natural subtle glow like the Laura Mercier one, and it is buildable as well. This does have a floral fragrance to it. I think it smells wonderful! But it doesn't linger after you apply it. I don't really smell it when I'm applying it either. I'm sad to say that they are not fully cruelty free.
Ofra highlighter in Rodeo drive is a gold highlighter. I wear this when I'm a little more tan in the summer time. It shows up a little too dark right now. It isn't a subtle highlight. It is very vibrant! The texture is very smooth, almost buttery. It looks beautiful on the skin as well. This is the only one I have from Ofra. I would like to eventually get some other shades I can wear. Ofra is cruelty free.
The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer aka The Luminizer is a beautiful champagne shade. This is a buildable highlighter. It looks beautiful on the skin as well. This has a stiffer texture, and doesn't really swatch well. It took me several times to swatch it so I could get it t show up. But it applies to the skin so nicely. It gives you a natural glow as well. They are cruelty free.
Cover Fx Moonlight highlighter. This is a mini size. But I'm fine with it. It's a decent deluxe size that will last me a while. This is a beautiful champagne shade. I fell in love with this one as soon as I first used it. This is my recent purchase. This applies beautifully to the skin, and once again gives you a natural glow without looking crazy. This size is great to travel with. They are cruelty free.
