Highlighters: the secret to ultra-glowing skin

A subtle, luminous radiance is the signature of the glass skin trend and the ultimate tool for achieving it is a highlighter. Highlighter is an essential element of modern makeup. It enhances the skin’s glow, refreshes the complexion, and adds a touch of sophistication to any look. ELLE O‘zbekiston has compiled a complete guide to the best highlighters of the season – from different formulas to must-have brands adored by beauty experts.

Liquid, creamy, or powder highlighter: which one to choose? 

Liquid highlighters – known for their lightweight texture and ultra-natural finish, liquid highlighters are perfect for achieving a "dewy glow". Mix them with your foundation for a fresh, radiant look. Their main advantage is effortless blending and suitability for all skin types.

Cream highlighters – the most versatile option, cream highlighters can be applied over foundation or on bare skin for a natural, glowing effect. They don’t emphasize dryness and create a soft, healthy radiance.

Powder highlighters – ideal for combination and oily skin, powder highlighters provide a more intense glow with long-lasting wear. They’re also perfect for multi-purpose use, working beautifully on the eyelids, inner corners of the eyes, and even the body.

Best highlighters worth trying:

Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand – a cream-liquid hybrid that melts into the skin, giving the effect of a "second skin glow". A favorite of Bella Hadid and Victoria’s Secret models.

Tips for creating a radiant makeup:

The key to a glowing makeup look is hydrated skin – opt for moisturizers with light-reflecting particles to create the perfect base.

Use cream-based blush and bronzer – they blend seamlessly and create a natural "second skin" effect.

For a natural glow, choose a highlighter with fine shimmer.

To achieve a trendy, luminous look, apply highlighter to the tops of your cheekbones, the tip of your nose, under your brows, the inner corners of your eyes, and cupid’s bow

Highlighter isn’t just a beauty product – it’s the art of playing with light. Don't be afraid to experiment, add a touch of radiance to every day!
