One of the finishing touches we make to complete our makeup routine – and our favourite as well – is to put on the most shimmery highlighter so that we can be the golden goddesses that we are. Just to observe the way that it glides on the highest points on our cheeks and how blinding it is – purely orgasmic!
However, some highlighters don’t give what they’re supposed to give, and that’s just a huge NO-NO. It could either be super streaky or doesn’t give an impact that we all want.
So, I’m gonna hook you all up with some of the best highlighters on the market – both drugstore and high-end – so that your makeup look will just stun people on the street.
High-end
Ofra Cosmetic Highlighter (RM188)
OFRA Cosmetics climbed its way up by delivering the most sought after highlighter product on the market. The formula is super buttery and creamy and will make your application a lot smoother and silky on your cheeks. The glow is to die for and it comes with a wide shade range to cater to their consumers – from the lightest complexion to the darkest. OFRA Cosmetics is currently having a sale on their highlighters at 20% off on Sephora.

Fenty Beauty Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter Duo (RM180)
Fenty Beauty first popularised their gold highlighter called Trophy Wife and everyone in the beauty community was too stunned to speak! With its amazing formula, makeup lovers were eager to buy Fenty Beauty’s Killawatt Highlighter Duo – and it’s safe to say they did not disappoint.
The highlighter comes in two different formulas, with the left being perfect for the day as it gives the right amount of glow and sheen. The right, however, if you wish to kick it up a notch, packs on the supercharged shimmer to add that oomph that you need to embrace your inner Rihanna at night.

Rare Beauty Positive Liquid Luminizer (RM108)
If you wish to let your natural dewy skin do its job while still wanting to pump up a teensy-weensy bit of that glowiness – Rare Beauty Positive Liquid Luminizer is your ultimate bestie. A drop of this product on the high points of your cheek, on the bridge of your nose and on your brow bone will have you looking like you glow from within. The formula creates this beautiful glowy sheen on your skin and will make you look radiant all day – like Miss Selena Gomez. A little goes a long way with most of Rare Beauty’s products, so this liquid illuminator will last you a long time.

Drugstore
Maybelline Master Chrome Metallic (RM54.50)
My personal holy grail and what I reach for all the time amongst my entire highlighter collection. Despite it being a drugstore product, this highlighter is not one to be underestimated because of how impactful the glow is. If you miss Becca Cosmetic’s Champagne Pop, then the Maybelline’s Master Chrome Metallic in Molten Gold is the perfect dupe for that. Super creamy and silky to the touch, and glides onto your cheeks beautifully, giving the most blinding effect when the sun hits your skin.

Wet n Wild MegaGlo Highlighter (RM37.60)
Before I discovered my holy grail, the highlighter I used constantly was the Wet n Wild Megaglo Highlighter in the shade of Precious Petals. It’s a rose gold shade that looks wonderful on people with a tanner complexion. Even though it doesn’t serve the same impact as the Maybelline one, it subtly helps you achieve the dewy and glossy effect on your skin. Not all highlighters are meant to be super blinding – so, if you wish to opt for a luminescent look, this product should be your go-to.

Colourpop Super Shock Cheek Highlighter (RM32)
The Colourpop Super Shock Cheek Highlighter was the holy grail of all holy grails in the makeup realm. Beauty gurus just couldn’t stop gushing about how blinding and glowing the line is. The most coveted product in this collection was the Flexitarian shade (I have one as well, guilty as charged). The highlighters are so creamy that they just melt onto your skin so beautifully, and the glow is so intense that a tap on the product is enough to last you all day. It’s no wonder that makeup lovers continue to love and rave about the highlighters to this day.
