Best Highlighters Under $10: New for 2017 and Old Favorites

2016 was all about getting that glow and blinding crowds with radiant cheekbones. 2017 looks to be no different with the strobing obsession only growing! 

Starting with my favorite new affordable for 2017, you will not want to miss these. They are the NYX Cosmetics Duo Chromatic Illuminating Powders. If you're looking for a natural highlight, this is probably not for you. If you're a highlighter junkie, or maybe you just don't want to pay a fortune for the Kat Von D alchemist palette, these are for you!  

They come in 5 shades and feature a shimmery duo chromatic finish. This essentially means that the color appears to change depending which angle it is viewed from. Very cool. They can also be worn as eyeshadows and retail for $8.00. If you do find that you like these, their Away We Glow liquid highlighters may also be worth checking out. I could see using them under this powder to glow even more!

 

My next pick is the Maybelline Master Strobing Stick. Now this gives a more natural to medium highlight. A light swipe gives a natural glow, but it can also be applied more heavily or used as a base for a powder highlighter. It comes in two shades, Light Iridescent and Medium Nude Glow for $8.99 each. A Master Strobing Liquid was also just released but in 3 shades.

Third is actually my favorite and may possibly even have a following by now. It's none other than the Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Highlighters. It came in three shades for awhile, but two new shades were recently added, I believe in just the past month or two. They retail for $6.00. Their Ultra Strobe Balm is also worth mentioning. As a cream, it makes a great base for a powder highlight or can be worn on its own. It has almost a duo chrome look like the NYX powders.
