Powder Highlighter Vs. Cream Highlighter

You know what? I bloomin' love highlighter. I have only been using it for the last year or so and used to use the Seventeen 'Define and Conquer' Contour Kit which contained a powder highlighter. I have recently started using the Fake Bake Beauty Diamond Shine Highlighter and it is a game changer.

Now, obviously it completely depends on how dramatic you like your highlight but I personally like my highlight to blind people- you might like yours quite subtle. I don't feel like powder highlighters are the product for me as I don't see them 'pop' as much as my cream highlighters. I, particularly, am not a fan of the powder in the Seventeen Contour Kit simply because it doesn't seem to have any sort of shimmer, which is the whole point of a Highlighter, right? I find it very matte and very flat. 


Do you see what I mean? 

Moving onto my cream highlighter by Fake Bake Beauty- I cannot get enough of this product. The glow you can achieve with even the tiniest amount of product is astounding! It's only £10 too. I honestly think you would be able to see your reflection in my cheek bones. I cannot get over how amazing this product actually is. It's sort of a pink-white colour but with such a high shine. For a while I didn't know how to apply a cream highlighter, I had no idea what kind of brush to use but now I use just a simple fluffy eyeshadow brush and it's goes on perfectly. Once I've put it on in the morning, I do not need to reapply throughout the day and that, for me, is a win just because I tend to be busy with the kids.


Obviously, this is just my personal opinion and it could just be that I haven't found the right powder foundation for me, but as it stands at the moment nothing can beat my Fake Bake Cream Highlighter. It just gives me such a healthy glow and I love it! 

What do you prefer from your own personal experiences? Are there any powder highlighters you can recommend I try? Let me know in the comments! 

Thank you for reading!
