8 Experts Reveal Their Favorite Highlighters For Getting That Holiday Glow

"I always get asked this question, and have lied in the past to preserve my own little secret, but I’ve decided to come clean and confess it’s this one from Bobbi Brown. It's super light-reflective, giving the skin a glossy, almost wet look — so fresh and sexy. OK, secret’s out now." — Kelly Hunt

"In the Winter season, a cream highlighter should be paired with your cream foundation. I’m obsessed with this one from Kevyn Aucoin. The moisturizing cream/gel hybrid comes in three versatile shades and can be used for highlighting, illuminating, and priming skin. Layer it with a powder and you are good to go!" — Aurélie Payen

Kevyn Aucoin The Celestial Skin Liquid Lighting ($52)

"This is my go-to highlighter. It features a creamy formula that is easy to apply and has a sleek, portable stick packaging. Plus, its universal shade flatters all skin tones. I like to use the warmth of my fingertips to melt the product and create a beautiful glisten on the skin by applying it to the highest points of the face, mimicking where the sun would hit. For a daytime look, apply it before applying foundation for a more subdued, lit-from-within glow. For evening, try using it on top of foundation for a more distinct glimmer." — Gilbert Soliz

Marc Jacobs Beauty Glow Stick Glistening Illuminator ($42)

"This highlighter has just the right amount of sheen to give your skin a healthy, vital gleam without visible glitter (which can look garish)." — Erin Ayanian

Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish 003 Kit In Nude ($72)

"My most random makeup discovery/obsession is this pillowy cream highlighter. It’s weightless on the skin and is the perfect combination of glowy and shimmery. Keep in mind this works best with a more natural skin finish (not a ton of powder). It comes in two shades: Polish (vanilla champagne) and Gleam (honey gold) for varying effects." — Ashleigh Ciucci

Topshop Glow Highlighter ($14)

"These palettes feature three colors that can be worn individually as a highlighter, blush, and light contour or mixed together for a multi-dimensional, light-reflecting effect on the eyes, cheeks, and lips. The velvety formula glides beautifully onto the skin and gives your face a natural-looking glow." — Nam Vo

Oribe Illuminating Face Palettes in Sunlit and Moonlit ($68)

"All women should wear highlighter. It is the best and it gives a 3D quality to your bone structure. I especially love to mix shades from this L’Oréal collection. You can layer the three shades on and create super cool looks. The end result is awesome it makes your skin dance in the light — whether a.m. or p.m." — Sir John

L'Oréal True Match Lumi Liquid Glow Illuminator ($13)

"This lightweight powder is the un-powder highlighter. With transparent pigments, it goes on sheer but packs a wallop of sheen and glow. With its neutral undertone, Albatross works on most light-medium-olive-tan skintones, while Miss Liberty's warmth is perfect for cocoa-caramel-dark skin." — Ciucci
