If the beauty industry had a most-frequently used phrase list, glow would sit comfortably at the top. So much so that it seems like we've all been desperately trying to get the glow, since Jennifer Lopez launched her Glow by JLo fragrance in 2002.
I'm not sure if it's the vintage style that I connect with or just that I have an aversion to midday forehead shine, but I've never found the appeal or felt the need to chase the glowy look. I just like my complexion to lean more towards the matte end of the spectrum.
Highlighters are an interesting category for me and powder highlighters have been a long-time staple in my routine, as I can boost my complexion but most importantly control the matte level. I've dabbled in other glow-enhancing products but they've given me more dew than I anticipated.
But, as my foundation experiment proved, the glow life ain't all that bad so it's time to see what awaits me in the world of highlighters. World is the most accurate descriptor here, as there are highlighters aplenty. Highlighters are basically the spokespeople of Instagram beauty. Along with severe brows and super matte liquid lipstick, it's a look that has come to define the digital age of beauty.
