We all want a healthy and beautiful glow, but who really wants to change their sheets every time they apply a little self-tanner?

Achieve this easily with a creamy highlighter like Smashbox’s Artificial Light Luminizing Lotion. Apply it starting at the brow bone and work your way down in a “C” to the tops of the cheekbone for the most natural just-came-from-the-beach glow.
We also love Benefit’s Moon Beam. Opt for this in the summer over High Beam as it reflects the gold undertones of the skin. Temptu’s Retouch Highlighter is a great option for on-the-go, with a multipurpose built-in brush applicator.
A first timer looking for a more affordable option? Physician’s Formula Shimmer Strips in Miami Strip not only offers fab highlight shades, but the five shades can be mixed and matched as blush and eyeshadow!
