This strobing stick really packs a pigment punch -- which makes it a great option if you're going for the whole "cheekbones that are visible from outer space" vibe. It currently comes in two colors, Iridescent and Nude Glow, and it's quite the bargain.
We couldn't very well create a list of the best stick highlighters without including Benefit's Watt's Up now, could we? Everything about this highlighter -- from the adorable packaging to the golden cream-to-powder glow -- is basically perfection. There's a reason why this illuminator is a time-honored cult favorite.
Palladio's I'm Glowing Creamy Stick Highlighter is equal parts buildable and blendable, with creamy, shimmery pigment to spare -- plus, it comes in three gorgeous shades.
If you're a fan of cult favorite luxury beauty brand Natasha Denona, you know that they don't really do anything in halves -- so, yes, their highlighting sticks are every bit as amazing as you'd expect. They're pricey, sure, but if you're feeling like a splurge, the buttery texture and lit-from-within glow won't do you wrong.
Beauty Pie's Multiglow Strobing Sticks impart a beautiful, dewy radiance -- like you're just back from St. Tropez. The pink, peach and champagne shades mean there's one for every skin tone and purpose (think: bronzer, blush and highlighter). Take the rose gold Santorini, for example -- it'll illuminate wonderfully on darker complexions, while working nicely as a shimmery blush on lighter complexions.
