Cream highlighters are our go-to for achieving that glowy, dewy makeup look that says, “I’m not wearing any makeup; My complexion is just naturally this radiant and gorgeous.” We love cream highlighters for their blendability, easy application and the way they make our skin look lit from within. Whether you’re looking for a drugstore highlighter or want to treat yourself to radiance-boosting makeup that’s a little more luxe, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite cream highlighters for every skin tone, ahead.What Is a Cream Highlighter and What Does It Do?But first, you may be wondering what cream highlighter is. Available in cream, powder and liquid forms, highlighter is a type of face makeup that adds a bit of glow to your complexion. It can be shiny or shimmy and flecked with glitter. While there is a time and a place for powder highlighter, with cream highlighter, you’re guaranteed to avoid a chalky or unnatural finish. Cream highlighter blends seamlessly into the skin to accentuate the high points of your face and boost the radiance of your complexion.How to Apply Cream HighlighterLike powder highlighter, you’ll want to apply cream highlighter to the high points of your face that naturally catch the light — or just anywhere you want a little extra glow. Generally, you might apply cream highlighter to your cheekbones, your brow bone, the bridge and tip of your nose and your cupid’s bow. You can also add it to the inner corners of your eyes to brighten them up. Then, use your fingertips or a blush to blend out the product. The Best Cream Highlighters for Glowy SkinValentino V-Lighter Face Base Primer and HighlighterFor an ultra luxurious glow, opt for this primer-highlighter combo.
