Benefit Cosmetics – High Beam
Say hello to the mother of all highlighters! If there is one highlighter to rule them all High Beam is it! Its full shimmer effect comes in a light-weight liquid and can be built up for a full effect. This is a great evening make-up product, with its powerful pop.
Tried and Tested: You can wear this product in those key highlighting areas, such as cheeks, brow, nose and cupids bow creating a striking highlight effect, or another great way to wear it is to mix it with foundation for an all-over glow, making it subtler. Another good thing about high beam is its great value for money, at £21.50 it will last for ages.

Kat Von D – Alchemist Holographic Palette
Who said a highlighter was only a highlighter (no woman ever), however we are serious when we say this product does it all! It is amazing on all skin types; the pigments are out of this world and it took 7 years to make!! 7 years… it must be special!
Tried and Tested: Well not us personally as it’s currently not available here until 2nd May! (We are already in the queue however). It is available in the USA and we hear that these individual powders can be applied over everything and anything; lipstick, eye shadow or just applied as a normal highlighter! We can’t wait to try it out! In the States this will cost you $32.00, we will update pricing on the UK release date, which is exclusive to Debenhams!

This nifty little highlighter is a perfect pop in your pocket product. It subtly brightens your completion whilst giving a cooling sensation upon contact with the skin.
Tried and Tested: This is a great little pick me up product to use throughout the day and because it is water based is great on all skin types. We loved the choice of colours and how easy it was to use!… And at £7.00 it’s a bargain!
