Thrive Causemetics Brilliant Face Highlighter Skin Perfecting Powder ($34)
I consider myself somewhat of a highlighter savant, so hear me when I say that I am not easily impressed by a highlighting product. This perfecting powder, however, managed to not only grab my attention but also completely blow me away once I tried it. I was initially drawn in by the description: a makeup-meets-skin-care hybrid that uses a combination of vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and vegan pearls. When I did try it, there was a soft, almost velvety feel to it but also — and most importantly — no fallout like a lot of similar formulations. The shade Shirley, a bronze gold, was my color of choice. Once applied, it gave me that gorgeous "I just lazed in the sun" glow that I am absolutely in need of right now. There was no harsh streak across my cheek or strange texture, just a healthy glow. While many are taking a step back from the ultra-glossy-skin look, if you still love a good glow, give this a try.
