This Summer, I want a beachy glow that's noticeable without making me look ridiculously translucent. That's why we rounded up the best highlighters that pale girls should try this Summer. These options have a hint of color, but they're still light enough to be noticeable on your skin. Take a look at our top picks.
The Benefit Cosmetics Watt's Up! Cream-to-Powder Highlighter ($30) will give you a champagne sheen that's sheer and subtle.
Not only will the Marc Jacobs Dew Drops Coconut Gel Highlighter ($44) give you crazy-good shine, it also has coconut in it that hydrates your skin.
