The Best Highlighters to Wake Up Winter Skin

ColourPop Taffy Pressed Powder Highlighter ($8)

For a pop of color with a luminescent glow, give this opalescent pearl one, with a peachy-pink undertone, a shot. 

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter in Golden Mint ($38)

You wouldn’t think of a green-tinged highlighting powder as one you would reach for to better your skin, but this one turns to a pretty shade of gold with a high-shine finish once it makes contact with your skin. 

Dermablend Professional Glow Creator ($33)

The first highlighter ever from Dermablend, these multiuse, blendable drops can be mixed into anything from moisturizer to sunscreen and beyond to create a beautiful glow.

Urban Decay O.N.S. Afterglow Highlighter Palette ($34) 

Each shade in this palette is a new take on the brand’s beloved Afterglow Highlighters and range from a soft rose gold color to peach and even a light pink. Mix and match the colors together to create the perfect hue of highlight.  

Huda Beauty Winter Solstice Highlighter Palette ($45)

This limited-edition palette (you’ll want to snatch it up before it’s gone forever) gives cheekbones the most gorgeous glow with a blend of light-reflecting pearls in one of the softest powders we’ve seen in a long time. 

Burberry Beauty Fresh Glow Illuminating Drops ($35)

Winter skin almost always needs a boost of hydration to make it look alive. This water-infused formula gives a shimmer-free highlight that can be worn on its own or mixed in with your favorite foundation. 

Antonym Organic Baked Highlighter ($42)

If you prefer organic makeup, this baked powder features a swirl of gold and pink shades to brighten up sallow-looking skin.
