Top Picks: Powder Highlighters

I'm a huge highlighter fan, and today I thought that I would bring you my all time favourite powder highlighters! I apply highlighter everyday, and I find powder highlighters to be the easiest to use in a hurry. I have 7 recommendations, ranging from Essence to Bobbi Brown and Dior. There's bound to be something for everyone!

By far my most used highlighter is NARS' Albatross (reviewed here) - just take a look at all that pan! I'll probably be finished with this pan within a month, and I'll be very sad to see it go. Albatross is a golden highlight that brings a beautiful glow to your skin. I really love pairing this with other NARS blushes, as the same golden shimmer is used in many of their shades (Sin, Deep Throat).

Lancôme Blush/Highlighter in Rose Étincelle* (reviewed here) - This blush is gorgeous in the compact with the rose stamping, and it's even more beautiful on the skin. This texture is so silky and finely milled, I always enjoy using it. This is one highlighter that I normally reserve for my cheekbones, as I tend to do with most pink toned highlights. 

Essence Beauty Beats Shimmer Powder in Swaaag! (reviewed here) - This is a new addition to my collection, and I couldn't be happier about it! This colour is similar to NARS Albatross, but it's a bit less golden and more cream toned. This formula can be a little bit chalky, so don't get too heavy handed with it. 

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact in Beige - I've been lusting over all of Bobbi Brown's Shimmer Brick Compacts for so long, I'm really glad that I finally picked one up! Beige is a beautiful highlighter, and a little less bronze than Dior's Amber Diamond.

Revlon Highlighting Palette in Rose Glow* - This is a newer product from Revlon, and the formula is amazing! This powder is so silky and creamy, and it's a shade that I would pair with pink or coral blushes.

Dior Amber Diamond (reviewed here) - This is such an iconic highlighter, and I think that anyone who loves makeup should give this a try! You can use each shade individually, or swirl them all together (which is what I normally do). I really like using this bronzey highlighter with red blushes, the combination is beautiful!

Dior Rose Diamond (reviewed here) - This is the other highlighter shade from Dior, and I really love using this one in combination with other pink blushes. You could use this one on its' own as a blush if you used mostly the deeper shades in the palette.

So there you have it, my top 7 powder highlighters! I'll be back soon with my favourite liquid/cream highlighters. I'm definitely a highlighter junkie, and I have more on my wishlist (Becca Opal, Hourglass Luminous Light, The Balm Mary Lou-manizer). I definitely don't need any more, and I'm trying to use what I have before I make any more purchases! Do we share any of the same highlighter favourites?
