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.
Flower Beauty's Glisten Up Highlighter Chubby is basically your ticket to an ethereal, naturally glow-y complexion. And honestly, did we expect anything else from Drew Barrymore's makeup line? Seriously, she's like the unofficial queen of effortless beauty.
