5 of the best highlighters on the market
These highlighters will make you look as good as glazed donuts, you heard it here first. 2018 may go down as the least interesting year of all time (I mean I’m struggling to remember a day when the entire internet was brought to inconsolable outrage over a gorilla? Weird.) but it will also go down as the shiniest, as far as make-up is concerned, and this trend is showing no signs of slowing down.
This will likely upset my chocolate Labrador, but highlighters are actually a girl’s best friend. The market has responded, and now there is a highlighter in every shade, formula, and glow-level imaginable. I’m not trying to look a glowing, dewy gift horse in the mouth, but it’s a little overwhelming. As much as I love a good blinding highlight, what we really need is good healthy lit from within type look, just like a glazed donut. It is really the epitome of how we should all aspire to look, glossy, glowy, translucent, healthy but not necessarily healthy. So, here’s a list of the best highlighters to help you achieve this coveted look.
