Whether you’re going for a subtle glow or a bold, radiant finish, a good highlighter can instantly elevate your makeup look.

I enjoy both natural, soft shimmer and more dramatic highlights for special outings. Here are two of my top powder highlighters that I can’t get enough of!

1. Rare Beauty Positive Light Silky Touch Highlighter

The pigment is incredibly intense, making it ideal for a bold, eye-catching glow. It’s more pigmented than the Dior palette, perfect for nights out or weekend brunches. Some users have noted that these highlighters can break easily, so handle with care. The packaging is adorable with a baby pink color scheme and comes with a small mirror for on-the-go touch-ups.

2. Dior Backstage Glow Face Palette

This palette comes with four distinct shades, giving you versatility in one compact. My personal favorite is the soft pink shade that adds a gentle glimmer to the cheeks. The compact is stylish and travel-friendly, though it doesn’t include a mirror. A larger mirror would make it even more perfect!

These two highlighters offer the best of both worlds—one for a soft, natural shine and one for a dramatic, luminous look. Depending on your mood or occasion, you can switch between a gentle glow and a show-stopping highlight with ease!
