Powder highlighters are perfect for adding a radiant and long-lasting glow to your makeup. Their lightweight and silky texture allows for easy and even application, providing a luminous finish without feeling heavy. Ideal for setting cream highlighters or using alone, they enhance key facial areas like the cheekbones, brow bone, and bridge of the nose.
Available in a wide variety of shades and finishes, from subtle pearlescent reflections to intense shimmers. At Maquillalia, you’ll find options from top brands to achieve a natural glow or a striking highlight. Discover your ideal highlighter and make your skin shine.
Choosing the right powder highlighter is key to enhancing your natural beauty and achieving a harmonious finish. To find the ideal shade, consider both your skin tone and undertone.
Fair Skin: Champagne, pearl, or soft pink highlighters provide a subtle glow without looking artificial. Avoid overly dark or intense gold tones, as they may not blend well with your complexion.
Medium Skin: Soft gold, peach, and warm beige tones enhance skin luminosity without creating harsh contrasts. These shades are ideal for achieving a natural and balanced glow.
Dark Skin: Bronze, deep gold, or copper highlighters beautifully enhance the warmth of your skin, creating a stunning radiant effect.
Cool Undertone: Opt for highlighters with silver, pearl, or pink reflects that complement cool or neutral skin tones. Try Revolution Beam Bright in Diamond Glow.
Warm Undertone: Gold, bronze, and peach tones work best to bring out your skin’s natural warmth. A great choice is Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Diamond Dust in Luminous Gleam.
Neutral Undertone: You can experiment with both warm and cool highlighters depending on your desired effect, from a soft glow to a radiant finish. Try the Wibo 3 Steps Baked Contouring Face Palette.
Applying powder highlighter correctly can transform your makeup, adding light and dimension to your face. With the right technique, you can achieve anything from a natural glow to an intense shine.
Strategic Application: Use a fan brush for a light effect or a denser brush for more intensity. Apply highlighter on the cheekbones, brow bone, bridge of the nose, inner corner of the eyes, and cupid’s bow to enhance your features.
Strobing Technique: This trend focuses on highlighting the natural high points of the face without contouring. Apply powder highlighter after foundation and set with a setting spray for extra longevity.
Layering with Other Products: To intensify the glow, apply a cream highlighter as a base and set it with powder highlighter. If you prefer a more natural look, use a light foundation and blend the highlighter with a damp sponge.
Choosing the right formula helps enhance your beauty while caring for your skin.
Beneficial Ingredients: Many powder highlighters contain light-reflecting pigments that create a radiant glow without feeling heavy. Some include minerals like mica, which provides a natural sheen, while others are enriched with vitamin E, known for its antioxidant and hydrating properties.
Options for Every Skin Type: At Maquillalia, you’ll find vegan, hypoallergenic, and fragrance-free highlighters, perfect for sensitive skin. There are also natural ingredient options for a skin-friendly makeup routine.

Yes, powder highlighter is suitable for all skin types, but the effect may vary depending on texture and finish.
For a subtle, natural glow, apply highlighter using a fan brush or fluffy brush and blend well. Start with a small amount and build up gradually. Choose shades close to your skin tone, like champagne or soft gold, and apply to key areas like the cheekbones, nose bridge, and brow bone.
Powder highlighter provides a matte or satin finish and is ideal for setting other products while extending makeup longevity. Liquid highlighter has a fluid texture and creates a dewy, fresh finish, perfect for dry skin or those seeking an intense, blended glow.
To extend the wear of your powder highlighter, apply a luminous primer or cream highlighter underneath for extra adherence. Use a fluffy brush to diffuse the product and avoid a cakey effect. Set your makeup with a setting spray to lock in the glow all day.
