Experiment With Different Highlighter Formulations You don't just have one pair of shoes, right? You have an assortment to choose from so you can dress according to the occasion. The same premise can be applied to your highlighter.
If you want a really natural, barely-there look, a product with minimal shimmer and a high dew factor is your go to (try Glossier's MUA-heralded Haloscope, $22, for this). Contrarily, if you're trying to achieve real-life Kira Kira status, a glittery or ultra-shimmery option is a better bet.
"Gel highlighters give a subtle, watery glow and are great if you want a natural look for the daytime. Cream and stick highlighters are, in my opinion, also great for daytime. They give a great dewy glow," noted Chiao-Li. "Glitter highlighters are great if you're going to a party and want to go all-out, but I would steer clear of them in the daytime, unless that's the look you're going for."
She added that powder highlighters tend to be more visible on the skin and are a great option if you want a bit more definition.
