Everyone seems to be obsessed with dewy-looking skin that "glows" lately, and for good reason. It absolutely exudes health and beauty.
Most celebrities and models attribute their radiant skin to a diligent skincare routine, juice cleansing, tons of sleep, daily exfoliation, the list goes on and on. For those of us who struggle to stick to all these different routines or simply need a little more help to get that perfect glow, there's highlighter.
Highlighter is a bit tricky because you have to figure out the best type (liquid, powder, solid, cream) for your skin tone (pink, golden, bronze) to avoid looking too frosted and shimmery. I have tried many different kinds, and think I've finally found a very natural looking one for me: Revlon Skinlights in Bare Light.
Revlon Skinlights comes in four different shades: Pink light, Bare light, Peach light, Bronze light. Bare light is the most neutral shade of all of them, which is why I decided to try this one first!
It goes on smoothly, blends in really well and stays put. I love how it doesn't look like highlighter - it looks totally natural. You can apply it like regular highlighter, or mix a drop or two into your moisturizer/foundation for an all around glowy look.
In these photos, I opted for your average highlighter application: tops of cheekbones, brow bones, and the tiniest bit in the center of my forehead (between the brows & blended up), down my nose, on my cupid's bow, and on my chin.

| Bare Light looks closer to a BB cream than a highlighter (read: natural) |

| Blended in, you can see just a touch of "glow" |

| You can barely see the highlighter on my cheekbone/browbone |

As you can see the difference is super subtle, but if you're scared of highlighter I definitely recommend started with Skinlights because it is so natural-looking!
Do you wear highlighter? Let me know which other ones I should try!
