Unlike many of the highlighters on this list that tend toward a more dramatic duochromatic look, Stila Heaven's Hue Highlighter in Transcendence is a true lilac. What you see is what you get: a beautiful, soft pinky lavender. It's glow-y but not overtly glittery, which gives it a more natural, lit-from-within feeling. Also, the texture is completely unique: It's a bouncy gel powder, which makes it a dream to apply.
