Highlighters

Highlighters represent one of the most versatile categories in modern cosmetics: from skincare to makeup, these products share a common goal, to restore the natural glow to the face and body that fatigue, stress, and seasonality tend to dull. With over 1,900 references available, our collection covers every need and skin type, offering solutions suitable for those looking for a daily and subtle effect, as well as for those who desire a more luminous and dramatic finish.

How to choose the right highlighter for your skin

The first criterion for selection is the format: highlighters are mainly divided into loose or compact powders, liquids, sticks, and luminous serums. Powders work well for combination or oily skin because they provide a satin effect without weighing down the skin. Liquid formats and sticks are more suitable for dry or mature skin, as they blend with the skin, providing hydration and light in one gesture. Luminous serums, to be used in skincare as the last step or mixed with foundation, represent an intermediate option, suitable for those who want brightness without a noticeable makeup effect.

A common mistake is choosing the wrong undertone: a highlighter with a golden base enhances warm complexions, while pearlescent or rosy shades harmonize better with cool or neutral complexions. Similarly, it is important to assess the intensity of the particles: micro-glitters are suitable for evening looks, while ultra-fine pigments ensure a more natural and photographic result even during the day. Always check the INCI list to ensure that the formula is compatible with your routine and any skin sensitivities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can highlighters be used on the body as well?

Yes, many products in this category are specifically formulated for the body — décolleté, shoulders, legs — and indicated on the label. Always check the intended use stated on the packaging before application.

Does a highlighter replace foundation?

No, the functions are distinct: foundation evens out the complexion and covers imperfections, while highlighter adds light and dimension. They can be used together or, in the case of luminous serums, layered in skincare.

Are highlighters suitable for sensitive skin?

It depends on the formula. Sensitive skin should prefer products that are fragrance-free and dermatologically tested, as indicated on the label. If in doubt, consult your pharmacist or dermatologist before purchasing.
