An all-over glow is easy to achieve if you are on a tropical getaway to Aruba. For those of us who aren't so lucky, there is an alternative.
Body highlighters are different from the ones you use on your face. They're typically formulated as gels, lotions, creams, and oils that suspend fine flecks of glitter and give your skin a radiant, non-sticky finish. Bathe yourself in light with some of our favorites, ahead.
Marc Jacobs Beauty Dew Drops Coconut Gel Highlighter
If you want a body highlighter that will make you look like you've been gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue, look no further than Marc Jacobs Beauty Dew Drops Coconut Gel Highlighter ($44). We love slathering it all over our legs to blur imperfections and make them shine.
Nars Cosmetics Monoi Body Glow
If you envy that sheen seen on the limbs of models and celebrities, bathe yourself in a bottle of Nars Cosmetics Monoi Body Glow ($59). The tiare blossom-infused coconut oil features a heavy dose of elegant bronze shimmer which, when applied to arms and legs, makes you look sun-kissed and lithe. The jasmine and vanilla scent is seriously seductive, too.
Fenty Beauty Body Lava
Throwback to the Summer of 2018, when we threw out all of our clothes to swirl Rihanna's Fenty Beauty Body Lava ($59) from our shoulders all the way down to our feet. After selling out for the season, the brand decided to bring back the body highlighting gel in the iconic, yellow-gold shade, Trophy Wife.
Patrick Ta Major Glow Body Oil
Shay Mitchell Adriana Lima, and Gigi and Bella Hadid all have this in common: their hyperglowy skin is often the work of makeup artist Patrick Ta and now, their ethereal radiance is available via this luxurious bottle.
The Patrick Ta Major Glow Body Oil ($52) is a spray-on oil with finely milled flecks of glitter that will make your skin shine.
Kopari Coconut Body Glow
The Kopari Coconut Body Glow ($28) feels so hydrating and luxurious on your skin, you'll want to wear it every day. The shimmer looks natural and golden, and it's the perfect oil to wear with your go-to sundress.
Huda Beauty N.Y.M.P.H. Not Your Mama’s Panty Hose All Over Body Highlighter
Huda Beauty N.Y.M.P.H. Not Your Mama's Panty Hose All Over Body Highlighter ($49) is basically your trip to Aruba in a bottle (and one with a convenient pump dispenser). Using a body brush (Huda Beauty sells one separately), you can buff the body shimmer onto every inch of your body to give you a glow that makes you look like you'd spent the day wading on the edge of a clear water beach.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Shimmer Body Oil
Anastasia Beverly Hills Shimmer Body Oil ($38) feels completely weightless but leaves skin glowing. The most luxurious part about it is its scent of coconuts which will transport you to your last island vacation.
GlowMotions Glow Oils
If you're new to the body shine game, feel free to start off easy. The Sol de Janeiro GlowMotions Glow Oils ($55) gives your skin a subtle glow while lightly moisturizing. You can use it under makeup or all over your body for a slightly metallic bronze gleam from head to toe.
Tarte Gleam Beam Shimmer Spray
Tarte Gleam Beam Shimmer Spray ($22) smells like coconut and will leave your neck and shoulders glittering in gold.
