13 Metallic Highlighters With Diamond-Worthy Wattage

Because sometimes you do want to be seen from space
If you want to be metallically shiny enough to power your own small solar system, look no further than Cover FX's ridiculously pigment-packed Custom Enhancer Drops. A tiny dab is enough to strobe your whole face to disco ball heights -- and it can also be mixed with your favorite foundation for an all-over, lit-from-within glow.

Have you heard of Anastasia Beverly Hills' Moonchild Glow Kit yet? It's kind of taking over the whole beauty community right now, and it's not hard to see why: It features six beautifully unique highlighter shades, each superlatively shiny in its own way. You can mix and match the cool-toned illuminators for some truly great ethereal goddess realness.

ColourPop Highlighter, $8
ColourPop is known for their super shiny highlighters, for a couple of reasons: They've got a uniquely satisfying cream-to-powder formula that's super easy to apply, they're very affordable and they shine like crazy. They also happen to come in a whole myriad of shades and textures, some metallic, some duochrome, some sparkly and some that are all of the above.

Glossier Haloscope, $22
You know and love Glossier for their innovative skincare and makeup -- and of course, their next-level packaging. Haloscope is every bit as covetable as the rest of their line. It combines tiny fragments of real crystals (rose quartz, topaz or moonstone, depending on which shade you choose) along with vitamin E-packed coconut and castor seed oil, as well as moisturizing sweet almond oil for a natural glow like no other. It's more subtle than a lot of the other highlighters on this list, but it's perfect for that on-the-go, low-key-but-luminous look.

Last year, YouTuber Jaclyn Hill collaborated with Becca Cosmetics, and the rest is history. Of their collection, the insanely pigmented Prosecco Pop might just be the most popular -- it's a bright, bright gold, and it's so metallic that your cheekbones will be vaulted into the stratosphere.
