There are several types of highlighters, including powder highlighters, which are usually pigmented and perfect for a full glam makeup look, and liquid and cream highlighters, which offer more of a dewy finish. Face glosses live within the latter category, and make your complexion look smooth, hydrated and like it’s glowing from within. They also come in a variety of different colors, like pink, violet and gold, for a fun addition to your look. Ahead, we’re sharing five colored face glosses that will make you look like a prismatic, radiant goddess.

Urban Decay Stay Naked Face & Lip Tint in Bittersweet

This fuchsia shade may look too out-there for an everyday look, but it blends seamlessly for a perfect spring flush. Apply it on top of your blush for a glassy accent or alone as a colorful highlight.

Patrick Ta Major Glow Face Gloss

Some people don’t love face glosses because they can feel sticky and migrate, but this gorgeous gloss stays in place and feels soft and smooth against the skin. Appropriately named “She Gives Me Life”, this captivating shade illuminates your complexion and gives you a lit-from-within glow.

This multi-tasking formula can be used on your lips, cheekbones and eyelids to achieve a glossy makeup look. It has a velvety texture and high-shine finish. We love the shade Pearl because it has reflective pigments that change color depending on the lighting.
