Our Favorite Summer Highlighters

Highlighter is our secret for getting beautiful, glowing skin, but for summer, when our skin is already glistening, we don't want our makeup to make our skin look any greasier. The best highlighters for this season are lightweight, cream formulas in nude or a soft peach. These are our top choices:

Lorac Perfectly Lit Oil-Free Luminizing Powder in Luminous.
"I dab this along the tops of my cheekbones, and when it hits the light, the effect is so pretty. It has a nice sheen but no obvious shimmer particles, so it almost looks like you could naturally have that glow." -Amy Keller Laird, beauty director

Benefit High Beam.
"I mix this pearly liquid into my moisturizer, my tinted moisturizer, my cream blush, and even my lip gloss." -Angelique Serrano, beauty editor

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat.
"The pen applicator makes this mistake-proof to apply and it doesn't leave my fingers feeling sticky like some liquid or cream formulas tend to do. I love it because it's super subtle and it gives my skin a pretty glow without any obvious glitter." -Elizabeth Siegel, associate editor

Mark Get Bright Hook Up Highlighter in Natural.
"I apply this lightweight liquid formula on top of my cheekbones, down the bridge of my nose and in the bow of my lips, and use my finger to blend for a sheer gleam that doesn't look greasy. The nude color makes it subtle enough to wear every day." -Sophia Panych, editorial assistant
