These Are the 10 Most Coveted Makeup Highlighters on Amazon

Let's get cheeky, shall we?
We all have our preferences when it comes to makeup -- especially where consistency and texture is concerned. This liquid highlighter from Maybelline New York boasts the same aforementioned benefits as its long lost cousin (see previous slide), sans the ultra-precision that comes from a stick. With its light and creamy texture, apply it on top of finished makeup or mix it with your foundation or moisturizer for an added boost of radiance. Time to pick your poison.

New York Color Wheel Mosaic Face Powder in Translucent Highlighter Glow, $4.47
One of the best deals in the bunch, this beloved powder from New York Color is one part highlighter, one part face powder. In other words, it gives your skin a smooth and even finish, while breathing some life and brightness into the most tired of complexions. Plus, it nixes oil and reduces the shine we don't want -- aka those mid-afternoon greasies that creep in around 3 p.m. each day. Oh, and did we mention it's under five dollars? Sold. With a glowing four-star rating, Amazon buyers concur.

Nothing gives away a poor night's rest more than dark and droopy under-eyes. Affordable and effective, Rimmel's two-for-one solution helps alleviate even the most lifeless of skin -- fighting fatigue and brightening our complexions so we at least look human during our morning meeting -- even if we feel like an extra in a horror movie. With five flattering shades and equipped with a high-precision brush, Amazon reviewers love its multi-function use, claiming it's great for under-the-eye or illuminating the high points of the face like cheek and brow bones.

Laura Geller Baked Split Highlighter Duo in French Vanilla/Portofino, $43
Picking the perfect highlighter can be a tricky business. While some fall flat with no-show shimmer, others remind of us of our 7th grade disco parties -- i.e. awkward. Gentle, yet radiant and illuminating, this highlighter duo from Laura Geller doesn't disappoint. Thanks to the "lo-glow" appearance, both shades help re-define features with heavenly -- never harsh -- pigment.

Ed. Note: My mother (whose age shall go unnamed) absolutely swears by this product. Combined, we've tried our fair share of highlighters (in every form, shade and pigment), yet we both hold this one to a high gold-standard. Not surprisingly, my mom looks about 20 years younger than her (actual) age, and whenever I force her into a social media-op, my friends feverishly ask what highlighter she uses.
