"No-makeup" makeup looks take a lot more effort than it seems. And if you've been wanting to achieve that "my skin but better" effect, then look no further: Adding highlighter to your routine is the way to go!
While it can be daunting to use them since they have a reputation to be blinding and glittery, there are ones that can help you look lit from within instead. It's an easy, instant way to brighten up your complexion—noticeable even through low-quality webcam calls!
Check out the products below for options:
1. Wet n' Wild Megaglo Highlighter
If you're a fan of powder highlighters, this buildable formula will be your new no-makeup makeup BFF. It won't cling to any dry patches; it'll just add a beautiful sheen on your skin. True to its name, this highlight will give you that mega glow you’re looking for—sans the chunks of glitter!

2. BLK Cosmetics Shimmery Jelly Multi-Pot
Don’t be fooled by its size, because this highlight packs a punch so a little goes a long way. Its unique jelly texture has the softness of a cream and lightweight texture of a gel so you won’t feel it sitting on your face. With its finely milled shimmers, it makes it easy to achieve a "glass skin" effect!
