Highlighter on Different Skin Tones

Highlighter can make your skin look one of two ways: kissed by the Grecian gods themselves or emblazoned with more texture than the Winged Victory of Samothrace statue. The most wearable of the options, many makeup artists would agree, is a powder formula with finely-milled mica and/or silica. It's subtle. Unassuming. But pigment packed? That, at least for the most part, it is not.

Of the rare exceptions, however, we tend to like the multitasking Beauty by POPSUGAR Be Bright Shimmer Highlighter. It comes packed with two glimmering shades — one light, one dark — and you can pick between a warm and cool variation, depending on your skin's undertones. Best of all: it's easy to build into an in-your-face glow that doesn't just stand out in the light.

But don't take our word for it. Ahead, we asked four editors across multiple different skin tones to road test the highlighter as proof. Somebody better call Zeus.
