Summer is all about emphasizing beautiful skin so why not make the most of it with a highlighter makeup that delivers the appearance of a healthy, dewy sheen. Commonly referred to as illuminators or luminizers, adding this heavenly product into your makeup routine will give you that light reflecting “can’t put your finger on it” ethereal glow that we all crave.

Here is a how-to guide, along with our top product picks:

*Apply sparingly to the top of the cheekbone, down the bridge of the nose, on the inner corner of the eyes and on the bow of the lips for an all-over flawless look
*A cream or liquid formulation gives the most radiant natural finish
*Blend in well and the luminous shine will look like you are lit from within
*Opt for a highlighter with peach or champagne tones as it flatters most skin colors

1. Benefit, High Beam, $26, Sephora or Shoppers Drug Mart

2. Smashbox Artificial Light Luminizing Powder, $20, Sephora or Shoppers Drug Mart

3. M.A.C Cream Colour Base in Pearl, $17.50, M.A.C
