These Are the 12 Best Highlighters That Makeup Artists Swear By

"The multiuse highlighter from Kevyn Aucoin ($44) comes with a cult following and can be worn in one of three equally amazing ways: as a liquid highlight, a cream blush, or a highlighting powder. The original staple (a classic powder version) is good for giving your full makeup application a gorgeous, long-lasting finishing touch. All you need is a V-section sweep from brow bone across the temple to the top of the cheekbone. It’s striking, yet subtle, making it a top choice whether you’re accentuating a freshly shaped brow, adding a wash of natural shimmer to your lids, or creating dimension with eye shadow and pigments." — Francesca Roman, master makeup artist at Butterfly Studio Salon in New York
