Welcome, Lykkers! No matter how many makeup trends come and go, I'll always have a soft spot for liquid highlighters.
There's something about that fresh, healthy-looking glow that powder products just can't quite replicate for me.
Some days I want a subtle sheen, other days I want my cheekbones to be seen from across the room. These two highlighters have been my favorites lately, and each brings a different kind of glow to the table.
Glow Drops I Love!

1. Iconic London Rollaway Glow Highlighter – Peach Paradise ($29)

This is the highlighter I pull out when I want my skin to look radiant without looking overly made up. The Peach Paradise shade adds a beautiful warmth that makes my complexion look fresh and sun-kissed. Instead of sitting on top of the skin, it blends seamlessly and leaves behind a luminous finish that catches the light in all the right places.
What I enjoy most is how easy it is to control. A small amount creates a soft everyday glow, while an extra layer gives a more noticeable shine for special occasions.

2. Rare Beauty Positive Light Liquid Luminizer – Mesmerize ($25)

If I had to describe this highlighter in one word, it would be effortless. The formula is incredibly pigmented, so a tiny dot goes a very long way. The first time I used it, I applied my usual amount and quickly realized I needed much less than expected. Mesmerize gives a gorgeous glow that looks almost glass-like on the skin.
It blends beautifully with fingers, brushes, or sponges, making it one of the easiest liquid highlighters in my collection to work with.

Although they're both liquid highlighters, I find myself using them for completely different moods. The Iconic London highlighter gives me that warm, naturally radiant look that works beautifully for everyday makeup. Meanwhile, Rare Beauty delivers a more eye-catching glow that instantly elevates the entire look. Some products end up forgotten in the back of my drawer, but these two have earned a permanent place on my vanity.
