Warmer weather has arrived, and the makeup trends are changing. While a more matte, full coverage look may have been your go-to for winter, spring and summer is all about a dewy glow. These nine liquid highlighters are going to be your go-to for that stunning healthy, lit from within glow that we're all chasing. Whether you want that subtle illuminated glow under your base or you're looking to shine brighter than Jaclyn Hill's Champagne Pop, there's a liquid highlighter out there that'll be perfect for your summertime look.
While there are always trends in makeup — feather brows, anyone? — some have more saying power than others, and one of those trends does seem to be highlighters. From powerfully glowing powder highlights to the technique of strobing, highlighting is still all the rage, and if past trends are any indication, summer and spring are only going to amplify the need for a gorgeous highlighter. After all, if you have stepped into a Sephora store lately, you'd see their stunning focus on the highlighting trend.
Why liquid highlighters for the warmer months, though? It's versatility is probably its best perk. Not only can you add it on top of a base, but it can also be mixed in with a foundation for a glow from within. Plus, if naturally glowing is the look you love, a liquid highlight will help with hydration and won't emphasize imperfections like a powder.
