Dear readers,

Beautifully glowing cheekbones? Who doesn't want that right? Well, maybe some people prefer to stay away from highlighters, which is totally okay. But I personally am a massive fan of highlighters. I have been loving using for years the Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze And Glow and the Jeffree Star Sacred Glass Extreme Frost Palette. But as I was stuck in Korea for 5 years, I turned to Korean beauty products to find a new favourite highlighter and dare I say I have found a few that made my heart beat faster.

My recommendations for Korean Highlighters:

1. Best Overall: Clio Prism Highlighter ($14)

2. Best Liquid Highlighter: Jenny House Jewel Fit Highlighter ($37)

3. Best Packaging: Colorgram Milk Bling Heartlighter ($11)

Absolutely amazing. The Prism Highlighter has been Clio's bestseller for years. The pigments are definitively present and the colour payoff is no joke. It gives this most natural glow to the cheekbones, much like the Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze And Glow. It comes in 2 shades; gold sheer for warm undertones skin and fairly pink for cool undertones skin. Clio also made another product combining 2 highlighter shades (cool and warm tones, $14) in one palette. The formula is lightweight and buildable if you want a more dramatic and intense shimmery veil. Long-lasting, it contains fine glitter particles that fully deliver a bright sparkly complexion.

2. Best Liquid Highlighter: Jenny House Jewel Fit Highlighter

Rating: 4 / 5

Highlights:

• Dupe to Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Highlighter Wand

• Dewy glow finish

• Not caky

• Handy tube container

• UV protection

What we don’t like:

• Can affect the foundation base when applying

OliveYoung | $37

The packaging of this Jenny House Jewel Fit Highlighter may look familiar to you and that is because it resembles the Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Highlighter Wand. If the Jenny House highlighter would be much cheaper, then it would be a real dupe. But nonetheless, the formula is very similar. It is a nice product that is not caky and gives a gorgeous dewy glow.

And we will finish off with the cutest highlighter on the Korean market. The Colorgram Milk Bling Heartlighter is super tiny but the formula is so so smooth and creamy, it feels so hydrating on the skin. The particles are extremely fine so you can actually use this highlighter in so many ways to add a stunning 3D effect to your glam. It is fallout free, smudge-proof, cruelty-free and long-lasting. This super small highlighter is perfect for on-the-go touch-ups for a luminous and romantic radiant finish. If you are short of present ideas for your friends, this highlighter is a perfect candidate for it.
