Thanks to the likes of Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner and a string of glowing Victoria’s Secret angels, the highlighting trend has become a firm favourite in just about every woman’s makeup routine. To make the lives of beauty addicts everywhere easier, we turned to Pinterest (as well as our own members), to see which highlighting products people can’t get enough of. Add these to cart immediately.

e.l.f Baked Highlighter

This highlighter ranked in the top spot on Pinterest, and has been pinned over 65,000 times. The budget highlighter comes in three shades – Blush Gem, Moonlight Pearls and Pink Diamond, and is infused with vitamin E and jojoba, so it’s good for your skin, too.

With over 58,000 pins, people can’t get enough of this micro-shimmer infused pressed powder. This Urban Decay highlighter contains light-reflecting particles designed to blur imperfections.
