As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
We support wearing highlight year-round, but it's almost criminal to skip out on the strobing step in your summer makeup routine. No summer beauty look is complete without a dusting of a shimmery highlighter.
When shopping for a new summer highlighter to incorporate into our makeup routine, we look for formulas that glide onto the skin, blend out easily, and create a glow so stunning your iPhone camera can pick it up in photos. We recommend you keep a few shades handy to coordinate with different makeup trends and experiment with placing the shimmering powders and liquids on your collar bones, eyebrow bones, and anywhere else you want to highlight.
Ahead, you'll find the best highlighters for summer to give your complexion an all-over radiance and glow.
