7 Liquid Highlighters For A Dewy Glow

We are so close to spring, guys — I am anxiously awaiting sunny afternoons, pastel lipsticks, and springtime's signature shine. If you are eager to get started with spring trends, too, here are the best liquid highlighters to shop if you want that super enviable dewy glow.

Liquid highlighters come in —you guessed it — liquid formulas. You can dab a liquid highlight on the apples of your cheeks and cheekbones for a traditional highlight, or mix it in with your foundation for an all-over glow from within. It's a great alternative formulation to traditional powder highlights, especially for those with dry or mature skin. If you were afraid of drying out your skin with powder or cream highlights, don't fret — you can continue to wear the looks you love while still moisturizing your skin.

Liquid highlighters can range from pearlescent to glittery, which is great because glitter is making a comeback, and the strobing trend isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Highlighting and strobing can make skin look more hydrated, younger, and make you look more awake. What's not to love? Liquid highlighters are easy to work with, especially if you love the Beauty Blender, and now come in such a variety of colors that anyone can enjoy.

Below are a few of my favorite liquid highlighters to wear this season. Get glowin', guys!
