You know and love Glossier for their innovative skincare and makeup -- and of course, their next-level packaging. Haloscope is every bit as covetable as the rest of their line. It combines tiny fragments of real crystals (rose quartz, topaz or moonstone, depending on which shade you choose) along with vitamin E-packed coconut and castor seed oil, as well as moisturizing sweet almond oil for a natural glow like no other. It's more subtle than a lot of the other highlighters on this list, but it's perfect for that on-the-go, low-key-but-luminous look.
Last year, YouTuber Jaclyn Hill collaborated with Becca Cosmetics, and the rest is history. Of their collection, the insanely pigmented Prosecco Pop might just be the most popular -- it's a bright, bright gold, and it's so metallic that your cheekbones will be vaulted into the stratosphere.
Since it's got a liquid formula L'Oreal's True Match Lumi is quite versatile -- it can be mixed with foundation and moisturizer for a subtly dewy complexion, or it can be used straight on the cheekbones, brow bones, etc. Add that to the fact that it packs quite a punch pigment-wise, and you've got a true highlighter makeup keeper on your hands.
Have you beheld the beauty that is the Laura Mercier's Lightstruck Prismatic Glow Palette yet? Housed in an absolutely stunning iridescent case, this metallic highlighter palette does not disappoint. It has five cream illuminators, including a bronzer, a subtle base and some seriously high-octane shades that impart more glow than you probably thought was possible.
Rose golds and shimmery silvers are great, but pale lavender highlighters have been steadily growing in popularity lately, and few do it better than Milk Makeup's Holographic Stick. In addition to being prettily purple, it also happens to have some serious metallic shine to it -- so if you're looking for a metallic highlighter that's a little off the beaten path, look no further.
