Tuesday 10: Light-Trapping Liquid Highlighters

Still on celebrating Summer, we at SPICE are looking for ways to rival the sun with our skin; products that’ll bring radiance to our skin without leaving it looking shiny. Step in, liquid highlighters…

After applying a matte foundation or moisturiser (a must with the season’s sweat-inducing temperatures), you can still bring life to your complexion with any of these helpful highlighters, which are just great for brow and cheek bones, if a fresh, chiselled-looking face is is what you’re after.

Check out our top 10 products, below;

Coming in a nail polish-like bottle, this highlighter is sure to catch beauty-lovers’ eye, but this pink pot works well on all skin shades, so long as you remember to apply it on well-moisturised skin and use the applicator for hard to reach areas.

Who says that a product can’t be a cross between a concealer and a highlighter? The infamous Touche Eclat is the prefect example and works wonders when used to brighten under eye circles or when applied to the high corners of the face to mimic natural highlighting. Popularity says this one works.
