My favorite drug store highlighters

It can be hard to find a good highlight in the drugstore. I'm here to help!  If you're on a budget I have some great options for you.  You never know, you may have something in your makeup collection you don't even know about! :)


From left to right: Hard Candy baked bronzer in 'pin up', Wet 'N Wild bronzer in reserve your cabana, Wet 'N Wild eyeshadow trio 'silent treatment' (the top color), Wet 'N Wild eyshadow trio 'sweet as candy' (the top color) and Maybelline Color Tattoo in 'barely branded'.  ****these are highly concentrated swatches so they will show up!

Probably my favorite drugstore highlight would be the baked bronzers from Hard Candy. They have several different shades. I own 'pin up' and usually use it over my blush and up on the cheek bones as a hightlight. It is showing up quite dark in this pic but it's not!  The color Tiki is quite popular too.

Wet 'N Wild reserve your cabana is perfect for a more natural highlight. It is the least shimmery out of all these but gives a nice glow to the cheeks.

Wet 'N Wild eyeshadow trios in silent treatment and sweet as candy.  I use both the brow bone colors on these trios for a highlight. One is more pink the other more white.  Both really nice and affordable and they work awesome!

Maybelline Color Tattoo in barely branded.  This is a cream product and you don't want to use too much. I just tap on a little bit with my finger on the top of my cheek bones.  This is also very long lasting! You can use this one before or after foundation or both if you really want to glow!  Not to mention this is quite similar to the very popular Mary lou manizer from theBalm! ;) 

I have also heard great things about ELF baked highlighter. I don't own it though. Basically any eyeshadow can work. Look for something, metallic but no glitter.  Stay close to your skin tone and don't use too much!  Hope everyone's having a great day!
