How to Find the Best Liquid Highlighter?

January 05, 2024

When you feel like something’s missing from your makeup, the best liquid highlighter will be the perfect finishing touch. It’s a great way to add a glow to your complexion and bring attention to certain areas. Now, the best liquid highlighter will provide a nice shine without a gray cast and it will blend well with your makeup. To help you find it, here’s everything you should know about liquid highlighter!

 

What Is a Liquid Highlighter?

Liquid highlighter is formulated to give the skin a dewy glow. It makes your skin look like it’s shining from the inside, making it look a lot more natural. It can even be mixed with liquid foundation to create a dewy base for your makeup. The best liquid highlighter will have high-quality light-reflecting pigments. This is what allows the product to glow when it’s on the skin. Unlike powder highlighters, liquid formulas offer a more seamless finish. They’re also very easy to build up, so you can create a subtle or super-intense glow.

 

Best Liquid Highlighter vs. Powder Highlighter: What Are the Differences?

There are many differences between liquid highlighters and powder highlighters. It’s important to understand those differences to help you determine which option is the best for you. So, let’s explore them:

1. Texture and Finish

The main difference between the best liquid highlighter and powder highlighter is the texture and finish. Liquid highlighters allow you to create a natural-looking glow that looks like it is coming from within. The radiance looks dewy and you can be as subtle or as dramatic as you want with it.

Powder highlighters are dramatic from the get-go and they make the skin look more sparkly than dewy. They have more of a shimmery finish for an extra glow. Of course, both options are great for bringing attention to areas like the top of the cheekbones, brow bone, cupid bow, and even the jaw.

 

2. Application and Versatility

Another difference between liquid and powder highlighters is the application process. Liquid highlighters usually go before the foundation or setting powder, while powder highlighters go after.

Additionally, a liquid highlighter offers a bit more versatility than a powder highlighter. As mentioned before, it can be mixed with foundation for a full dewy look. It can also be mixed with tinted moisturizer for a natural yet luminous finish.

 

3. Skin Types

Liquid highlighter and powder highlighter suit different skin types, so that’s another big difference to consider. Liquid highlighters are better for dry or combination skin because they make your skin look hydrated and glowing without looking oil.

When it comes to oily skin, powder highlighter is the better option. They provide a matte finish and even help absorb excess oil. Plus, they allow you to put the glow exactly where you want it to be. Combined with a matte foundation or matte setting powder, it will help you make your skin look exactly like you want it to look.

 

How to Apply Liquid Highlighter? 

If you’re new to liquid highlighter, don’t worry! The application is very simple. Here are the easy steps you need to follow:

1. Start with a pea-sized amount

Start with a pea-sized amount of the best liquid highlighter. One drop is enough and you can use your fingers to apply it. You can divide the drop of highlighter between your two ring fingers and mix the product between them.

 

2. Dab, dab, dab

Now that you have divided the amount of highlighter, gently dab it along the top of your cheekbones. You can go from the apple of your cheeks to your temples or the other way around. Just make sure to follow your cheekbones. Dab the product gently into the skin until it’s absorbed.

Pro tip: if you have some liquid highlighter left in your fingers, don’t wash it off. Instead of wasting the product, you can use it to highlight your cupid’s bow or the bridge of your nose.

 

3. Blend with a sponge or beauty blender

Once you’ve applied the liquid highlighter with your fingers, you can use a sponge or beauty blender. This will give the makeup a more seamless finish and also remove the excess. Make light dabbing motions with the sponge or beauty blender instead of swiping motions. This is particularly important if you’re applying the liquid highlighter after your foundation.

 

4. Repeat if necessary

Last but not least, you can repeat the process from step one if you want to add more layers to your highlighter. This is a good option if you’re going for a dramatic and more intense glow. It’s usually necessary for night-time looks; it gives your face more of a pop.

 

How to Find the Right Liquid Highlighter for You?

If you’re ready to find the best liquid highlighter for you, you need to consider your skin tone. If you have fair skin, cool-toned liquid highlighters will work best for you. Try silver, pearly, or pink shades and see how you feel. As a rule of thumb, you should avoid highlighters with red or bronze undertones because they can create a dark cast on the skin. This will make your makeup look harsh and won’t suit your complexion.


On the other hand, medium or olive skin tones will benefit from highlighters with warm undertones. Golden or peachy shades will complement your face really well and brighten it up without making it look unnatural. If you have deep skin, look for highlighter shades in bronze or copper tones. They will look very flattering on you. However, we recommend avoiding formulas with too much shimmer because they can make deep skin look ashy.
