Hey Guys, Today's post is all about my top 10 highlighters from my extensive collection and carries on from my earlier post where we discussed "Disappointing Highlighters". I am even more excited about this post because who doesn't want to glow to the gods! After trying out different highlighters over the years I have been able to come up with my top 10 of all time. Be sure to give my Instagram a follow; Pr1ncesskayleigh for a chance to win my number 1 highlighter in an up and coming giveaway! At number 10 we have Urban Decay X Kristen Leanne palette called Beauty Beam. There is 3 shades in the palette and they are all gorgeous. The palette is very pigmented. The formula doesn't show up texture and melts into the skin to give a gorgeous glow. The palette is perfect for travelling as there are 3 shades that can be used separately or combined to create different shades. Next at number 9 we have Kat Von D 10 Year Anniversary Metal Crush Extreme Highlighter Gold Skool. This is an unusual one for me to like as its very heavily glittered. The formula of this highlighter is insane, it's very blinding and the glitter shift is gorgeous under different lights and always looks beautiful! It's nor as smooth as some formulas but it doesn't show up texture and does give the appearance of melting into the skin. 8th on the list is Jouer's Citrine. This highlighter is slightly more subtle and gives a really gorgeous natural glow, unless you want more in which case you can build it up to be a more substantial glow without it looking cakey. I really like the light gold shimmer of this highlighter. They're a really reasonable price at under £20. At 7th on the list is another Jouer highlighter called Skinny Dip this has the same formula as the Citrine but is a darker golden tone.. It applies beautifully and looks like a second skin. Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop made it in at number 6. This highlighter really bought highlighting back into the headlights and became a best sellers. As soon as you use it you can see why it was a popular choice. The formula is so creamy it glides onto the skin without drawing attention to texture or pores. The glow is very reflective and catches the light to give you a blinding glow that looks like a second skin. The highlighter is a universal flattering with shades that would suit all skin tones. Going into the top 5 we have Smashbox X Vlada which came out last year. The shade gilded rose is a pale golden highlighter with a light catching sheen that's slightly rose gold. This highlighter is on the more natural side but because of it's incredibly smooth formula is applies beautifully and sits very naturally meaning you can build the highlighter without it becoming cakey. It looks beautiful on the skin and catches the light. Not only is it a beautiful highlighter but the packaging is probably the most beautiful I have seen, not only the outer packaging but the actual highlighter pan is a rose & just looks beautiful! 4th up we have Anastasia Beverly Hills x Amrezy which came out on Valentines day last year & instantly became a favourite of not just mine but by all that tried it. I LOVE this highlighter and it was my go to for most of last year. From the moment you see the highlighter in the pan the 3d wave pattern is eye catching. This highlighter gives you a perfect glow which can start subtly and build up to be a beautiful, luminous glow. This highlighter is a very light gold with a slight champagne undertone, it will be universally flattering to all skin tones. This formula melts into the skin and makes the skin looks glossy. 3rd on the list is Ofra Pillow Talk a beautiful soft pearl pink highlighter. The texture of this highlighter is fine and blends onto the skin seamlessly. This highlighter like all Ofra highlighter is extremely pigmented, it doesn't take a lot to be blinding, it doesn't need to be built up at all, it applies with a bang straight away. This highlighter is fairly light and would look best on light to medium skin tones, although those with medium skin tones should apply with caution. The only hang up with the highlighter is that there is a little bit of kick back but nothing that you cant overlook for the quality of the highlighter. The runner up but a very close second is a fairly new addition to my collection, Marc Jacobs Beauty O!Mega Glaze All Over Foil Luminizer. Although I have only had this for a couple of months it fast became a favourite. I've reached for it every time I've done my make up recently. This highlighter is a warm peachy gold but as you catch the light it shifts colour from the warm peachiness to a gorgeous gold. It has some shimmer to it but isn't too much or over bearing and the highlight still melts into your skin. This is a buildable highlighter but doesn't look cakey when you add more layers to make it blinding. This is definitely for medium to darker skin tones. The packaging is gorgeous and hosts an amazing mirror for when your on the go. At the top of the list and at my number 1 spot is Ofra Rodeo Drive. This highlighter is just perfection to me! It is a gorgeous soft sun-kissed golden highlighter. This shares the same formula as Pillow talk. Finely milled powder which means when applied melts into the skin giving the most beautiful glow, like a second skin. Ofra highlighters pigmentation is second to none and a little goes a long way. The formula really is the best on the market.This highlighter is not for those that like a natural or subtle glow. I cannot wait to add more Ofra highlighters to my ever growing collection. Check out the glow it gives below! So there you have it, my top 10 highlighters from my collection. I'd love to say I will use all of these up but I just cannot help myself when it comes to buying new highlighters, they are after all my favourite part of doing my make up! If you have any suggestions for me to add to my collection then let me know! Don't forget to follow my Instagram for future giveaways! Until Next Time,

I would not want to use the Smashbox X Vlada one as it is so damn pretty!
