Glow, Baby, Glow Contouring is so two thousand and late. This year, it's all about achieving a natural-looking glow with strobing. (Check out our full strobing tutorial.)

Strobing is next-level highlighting that gives you a sculpted face by accenting the places where light naturally hits -- along the bridge of your nose, the tops of your cheekbones, your Cupid's bow, your forehead and your chin. The result: Ethereal skin that looks #blessed by Beyoncé herself.

This year, we had strong contenders in our highlight/contour category (the majority of which were highlighting products), and we awarded top honors to two highlighters that are simply beyond: Anastasia Beverly Hills Illuminator, $28 (winner) and Chosungah 22 24H Raybeam Up Cream, $28 (honorable mention).

Glow-inducing products won in other categories as well: Guerlain Météorites Base Perfecting Pearls, $74, won Best Primer because it made our skin glowier than we ever thought possible; CoverGirl TruBlend Blush, $9.24, won Best Blush because the marbled blend of colors gave us a radiant flush.

And now, we're letting you in on the seven hottest trends we saw. If these products aren't on your vanity already, they will be soon.
