10 Best Makeup Highlighter Options on the Market Under $40

We’ve had a lot of readers ask for a roundup of the best makeup highlighter options on the market lately, so we figured we’d deliver with the input of top beauty editors, makeup artists, and industry professionals. Then we one-upped ourselves by making the entire list $40 of glow-enhancing products or less.

So here are our faves, in no particular order (it’s a slideshow, so keep clicking through):

  1. Real life Sephora makeup artist, Kenzie Elyse, digs the Wet N Wild To Reflect Shimmer Palette in I’ll Have A Cosmo. It’s under $6, reminds us vaguely of the far more expensive Hourglass Cosmetics compact, and is idiot-proof for even the most novice makeup highlighter lovers.
