Instagram fads may come and go, but highlighted cheekbones are here to stay — just ask your favorite beauty influencers.
We caught up with some of them at Beautycon LA and, of course, needed to know which highlighters they rely on for that coveted Instagram glow. While some of their favorites were drugstore gems (from Maybelline and Physicians Formula), they also gushed about MAC classics along with new pigments created by the influencers themselves.
Needless to say, if you're ever in the beauty aisle, torn about which highlighter to snag, the picks ahead will help you out.
