#  8 Lowlighting Products We Really Rate  


We’re all familiar with highlighting as a way to add luminosity to the skin but lowlighting is the current buzzword to know. While the principles and placement mirror traditional highlighting techniques, lowlighting forgoes the mega-watt beam in favour of a sophisticated, romantic glow. To help you get the look, we’ve rounded up the products that guarantee a soft and subtle finish...

## Light Glowing Powder 



#### £65 | Prada Beauty 



 

This collection of three shades is the perfect way to add dimension and a subtle lit-from-within glow. The cream-to-powder texture helps skin retain its natural radiance, whilst gently attracting the light in a subtler, more elegant way. While all the shades are pretty, we’ve fallen for the ‘Pink’, which is, as you might expect, a soft, sophisticated take that’s peachy as opposed to anything too sweet and saccharine.

## Banana Lowlighter 



#### £38 | Rodial 



 

Think of this as a different take on a lowlighter – and a clever one that can also be used as a concealer and general complexion enhancer. The pale-yellow shade is especially great at diffusing the appearance of dark circles under the eyes and delivering a more uniform tone, while blended underneath cheekbones, it creates the illusion of definition without needing to use darker shades to bronze or contour.

## Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Lowlighter 



#### £28 | Danessa Myricks Beauty 



 

One of the best things about this collection is the texture, which melts into skin like a balm but has the pigment to rival a dense powder. While there is an undeniable shimmer to each of the shades, there’s depth and warmth to each as well, which makes them feel much more akin to flesh tones than anything too iridescent. To top it off, the formula is full of skin softening, hydrating actives like hyaluronic acid and squalane, as well as shine absorbing, blurring ingredients to make sure you look glowy not greasy.

## Baume Essential Multi-Use Glow Stick 



#### £38 | Chanel 



 

Fusing the melting feel of a balm with softly pearlised pigments, this glow stick adds instant luminosity with a second skin feel. Although some of the shades look a little punchy in the bullet, they’re all completely wearable and thanks to the formulation, leave only a gentle hint of shimmering colour behind. Try using it not just on cheekbones but to sculpt the face down the bridge of the nose, into the eye sockets and along the cupid’s bow.

## Nova Glow Liquid Light 



#### £27 | VIEVE 



 

This product may call itself a highlighter but the glossy, glassy luminosity it gives skin is far chicer and subtler. For pale skin, we love ‘Ballerina’, an ethereal pink shade that manages to avoid that high-shimmer finish. The other three shades are all on the lighter side but with golden undertones to suit deeper, darker skin tones.

## Futuredew Solid Oil-Serum Illuminator 



#### £26 | Glossier 



 

Set to follow in the iconic footsteps of the original oil-serum, this portable stick version is ideal if you want to create a dewy, ‘glass skin’ finish without the heaviness or sparkle of a traditional highlighter. Don’t let the fact that there’s only one shade put you off – it’s as versatile as you’d hope, offering a soft glow that looks like natural skin, only better.

## Miracle Balm 



#### £38 | Jones Road 



 

While every shade in the Miracle Balm collection has just the right kind of light-reflecting pigments you’d expect in a good lowlighter, ‘Magic Hour’, a golden shade with rosy undertones is one of our favourites. The veil of colour it adds to skin is just enough to gently carve out cheekbones or add definition to the bridge of the nose, all the while infusing skin with a soft-focus finish.

## Ambient Lighting Palette Volume II 



#### £68 | Hourglass 



 

One of the original lowlighters, and still one of the best, this iconic palette contains three shades of light-reflecting powders that mimic the way the skin is lit with professional lighting. In other words, it’s like a flawless filter for your face and there’s not a hint of harsh particles of shimmer or glitter in sight. Use each one separately on different areas of the face or mix them together for a diffused finish.
