1. A tube of L'Oréal's Lumi Glotion that'll leave your skin going AAAAND glow, it's almost not fair. The formula's packed with glycerin and shea butter for intense hydration, making it perfect to wear on its own, under makeup, or even on top. I swipe 901 Fair Glow every time I step out the door, and the amount of compliments I've collected has pretty much covered the cost of the skin tint by now! How stunning, indeed.
2. An illuminator from Makeup Revolution that transforms you into a lit-from-within queen with its handy fuzzy applicator. Wear it alone, as a priming potion, mixed into your foundation, or as a liquid highlighter. The lightweight, sheer formula is incredibly buildable, too.
3. A sparkly, baked blush from The Body Shop that gives your cheeks that perfect glint of shimmer. With six dazzling shades to choose from, it's a steal since it's under $12? Yes!
4. A liquid glow filter from e.l.f. that makes you shimmer like a mermaid (with great ingredients, too). It blends hydrating elements like squalane and hyaluronic acid to ensure your skin stays supple and moisturized, pretty ok!
5. A powder highlighter from Essence that's so shimmery, you might need sunglasses just looking at it. In all seriousness, it's formulated with light-reacting pigments that shift colors as you move, offering quite the glimmer. Screw poetry; we're talking dreamy here.
6. Or a highlighter stick from Maybelline that glides effortlessly across your cheeks, forehead, and brow bones to give you that "your skin, but better" look. The formula is super blendable and buildable, allowing you to craft the glow, honey.
7. Or! A liquid highlighter from CoverGirl that can be applied under or over makeup for a radiant finish. The translucent formula is a breeze to spread using the precision applicator. Ooh, la la!
8. A bronzing stick from Sephora that makes you look like you've just returned from a beach vacay. It's perfect for painting on your eyes, lips, or cheeks - even comes with a removable blender brush and a built-in mirror for your convenience, diva.
9. Or a bottle of bronzing drops from Milani that gives you that lit-from-within look for a song. These drops house a fusion of moisturizing ingredients like hyaluronic acid and cocoa extract, and dewy-enhancing antioxidants.
10. A glow balm stick from Marc Jacobs Beauty that lets you swipe, swipe, swipe ... and oh, yeah, swipe away at that dullness. Its mineral pigments infuse your skin with serious radiance, while ingredients like fruit extracts, ginseng, and aloe vera revitalize, brighten, and soothe like a boss. Talk about drop-dead gorgeous.
11. An Urban Decay primer spray that makes your skin shine like a disco ball, essentially eliminating the need for other makeup. Trust me, this gem is a multi-talented primer that imparts luminescence along with hyaluronic acid and agave extract for moisturization that lasts up to 12 hours. We stan a glowy makeup primer.
12. A lip oil from NYX that's not only super shiny, but also infused with light-reflecting emollients and luscious, plant-based squalane to keep your pucker feeling fabulous. And guess what? The formula's not sticky at all, so your hair won't catch on your lips like a catfish's whiskers.
13. A Nyx multi-use jumbo highlighter stick that lets you spread glow wherever you'd like. Choose from six eye-catching shades, and what do you know - they're all under $10. Why the heck not, then?
14. A CoverGirl skin-enhancing balm that effortlessly blends skincare and makeup, resulting in a fantastic formula that's all about glow. Containing hydrating powerhouses like jojoba oil, raspberry extract, and pomegranate, and a shimmery stick that leaves your skin breathtaking.
15. An Anastasia Beverly Hills powder for those who wanna blitz for the light. The shimmery powder and compact are almost too pretty to use. (Hey, I said ALMOST.)
16. A tube of BareMinerals glow butter for aficionados of liquid formulas over powder ones. It provides sheer coverage with an alluring shimmer, while infusing your skin with skin-loving butters like murumuru, cupuaçu, and tucuma. In a nutshell, it's a luxurious treat for your mug.
17. A sparkly liquid eyeshadow from Stila that'll literally make your eyes pop. It dries almost instantly, so there's little to no fallout, and creates a breathtaking, shimmery wash of color.
18. A nourishing illuminating stick from Winky Lux that includes ingredients like carnauba and vitamin E to help smooth your complexion. And with packaging that's this darn cute, we wouldn't judge you if you chose to use it for decoration.
19. A Violet Voss cream highlighter featuring a stunning, multidimensional glimmer that catches the light perfectly. The creamy formula blends effortlessly, creating a dreamy, pearlescent sheen on your cheeks.
20. A sheer-to-medium coverage and illuminating concealer from Giorgio Armani that adds radiance to your look with the subtlest shimmer. The fact that it's infused with bamboo stem powder, black cumin seed oil, and an antioxidant botanical blend is just plain awesome.
