'Tis the season to get your glow on! With spring here and summer approaching, incorporating highlighters to your beauty routine will enhance your skin by adding a beautiful luminous glow. This can be done with the strobing (highlighting) technique. 

For those of you who are not familiar with this concept, strobing is a makeup technique in which you apply highlighter on the high points of your face where light naturally hits. This serves to bring those features forward (e.g., cheekbones, brow bone, bridge of the nose, cupid’s bow, chin). Highlighting is a way to add dimension to you face, give your skin a natural dewy finish, and look youthful and radiant. I will be sharing with you several of my favorite highlighters – essentials for the spring and summer!

This beauty is a “soft white gold highlight with pinky peach undertones.” I recommend this highlight for ladies with medium-tan to deep skin tones. The product may seem a little chalky, but it takes little effort to blend it out flawlessly. Definitely one of my all-time favorites.

This golden/champagne highlight looks absolutely stunning on ladies with fair to medium-tan skin tones. A little bit goes a long way with this one, as it takes very little effort to achieve an intense glow.


This cream highlight by Benefit is a gorgeous highlight with a warm delicate champagne tone. If you are searching for a highlight that gives you a soft, natural glow, then this one is perfect for you! The product is buildable so you can opt for a more vibrant look as well.

You definitely get a bang for your buck with this one. You get four warm-toned highlights that leave you with a beautiful glow that will last throughout the whole day! Think of it as getting four highlights for $10! I also highly recommend this palette in "Gleam", as it is flattering on ALL skin tones.
