The Milk Makeup Holographic Stick has reached icon status for a reason; it really deserves every bit of buzz it gets. First off, it's so convenient, since it comes as a stick -- and, even better, the shade itself is downright beautiful. It's sheer enough that it's flattering on a wide range of skin tones while still being pigmented enough to earn you some major compliments.
Fenty Beauty actually offers two purple highlighters: the Match Stix Shimmer Skinstick in Unicorn and in Confetti. Confetti is packed with beautiful icy iridescent lavender and holographic blue shimmer. Unicorn is more of a true purple with a silvery shift. Since they come in convenient stick highlighter form, they're both great for on-the-go -- especially if you're looking to add an unexpected pop of color. Pro tip: These look excellent as eye shadows.
If you're looking to take your highlight game to the next level, consider the Anastasia Beverly Hills Moonchild Palette your new go-to. It's got six shades, each more spectacular than the last. Holographic shades Blue Ice, Pink Heart and Lucky Clover all look demure in the pans, but they're actually boldly iridescent. You'll also love the preternaturally sparkly ultra-violet Purple Horseshoe and the icy-silvery Star (a pale blue) and Blue Moon (a pale lavender).
Oh, and if that's not enough for you, it's worth pointing out that the equally epic Aurora Palettealso has a purple highlighter (Spectra, an iridescent lavender).
Huda Beauty 3D Highlighter Palette in Summer Solstice, $57
The Huda Beauty Summer Solstice Palette is home to one of the most unique purple highlighters on this list; as opposed to the popular lilacs and lavenders, the shade Mykonos is a deep, shimmery violet. Depending on your skin tone, it can actually be used as a highlighter or a blush, and you'll look like a high-fashion goddess either way. Between its unique shade and high-shine foiled finish, it's a definite statement-maker. You'll also love the rest of the shades: Saint-Tropez, a creamy true gold; Malibu, a buttery bronze and Copacabana, a deep rose gold.
ColourPop's uniquely springy gel-powder Supershock Highlighters are tough to beat, and the iridescent purple Hippo might just be one of the very best of all. It's a cool, icy lavender -- practically silver, which makes it easy to wear.
