Friends, we are living in the golden age of iridescent highlighters. They come in every texture imaginable — jellies, gel creams, liquid drops — and every finish and color of the rainbow too. There's actually a whole renaissance of iridescent beauty products, from holographic lipsticks all the way to color-shifting face masks.
When it comes to maximum glow factor, there's really no beating highlighters — they're kind of the OG, after all. And there are so many great ones to choose from right now, whether you favor high-drama chunk glitter faves like Cover FX's Glitter Drops or soft, fairy-like products such as the new Physicians Formula Butter Highlighter formula. No matter what your personal proclivities are, consider this your one-stop shop. Read on for the best highlighters for getting your iridescent glow on.
When it comes to next-level shimmer, you can't get much sparklier than Cover FX's new multi-use formula. Like the cult favorite Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops, it brings the drama in a major way — except this time with chunky glitter that somehow also manages to be sophisticated and classy. All three available shades are beautiful but it's the iridescent Lunar that takes the cake in our book.
Leave it to Sleek to deliver one of the best highlighter palettes around at a majorly budget-friendly price. And with five included shades (three creams and two powders) that range from a burnished gold to an ethereally iridescent white, you get even more bang for your buck. Layer the creams and the powders for extra wow factor and you'll basically look like you walked straight out of a music video.
This new highlighter flew off the shelves following its launch and it's easy to see why it's been such a hit. From Nails Inc founder Thea Green (Nails Inc, Inc.redible — see it now?), the highlighter has a fun jelly texture and boasts a versatile, buildable formula. Right now, it comes in two shades and the holographic Cosmic Blur is perfect for that iridescent unicorn beauty look.
Made specially for Chinese New Year, this Chantecaille stunner still happens to be available. It has a lot going for it, from the majestic wolf embossed into the powder to the gorgeous iridescent finish that's low-key enough for daily wear while still adding that extra pop to your look.
