I’ll be honest, up until a few years ago I NEVER used highlighter. In fact, most of the beauty world didn’t either. The goal was to look as matte as possible. Glowy, dewey skin? Not a thing. But these days it’s all about getting your glow on. I love the healthy, natural glow highlighters give and fortunately the clean beauty space has caught up with some awesome natural highlighters that give Becca’s Champagne Pop Highlighter a run for it’s money.
I tried out six different highlighters for you and to be honest, they were all winners! It totally depends on what type of highlighter you’re looking for and your personal preference. I’ll give you the breakdown of six different highlighters that are all great options but at the end of the day, it’s in your hands. What is your price point? Do you want a warmer or cooler highlight? Do you prefer cream or pressed? You do you! Let’s talk the best natural highlighters…

The Best Natural Highlighters
01. Maya Chia Highlighting Serum $42
This is a really beautiful product! You can mix it in with your primer, foundation or skincare to create an overall glow but I preferred to dab it on right where I wanted the highlight to be and then blended well. Make sure you blend it really well otherwise it kind of just sits on top of the face. It’s pricey but the versatility of the product makes up for it.
02. RMS Living Luminizer $38
This highlighter has a cult following and for good reason. It’s definitely worth the hype. I have had this for a couple years and still love it! If you want a guaranteed beautiful cream highlight, this is your best bet. It comes in a few different shades – some are more natural/skin tone and others are more pink/gold toned. You really can’t go wrong with this highlighter!
03. Rituel de Fille Rare Light Luminzer $29
This appears kind of yellow-ish in the compact but it applies a gorgeous golden color. A little goes a long way with this highlighter so be careful to not apply too much. I get so many compliments when I wear this!
04. Lily Lolo Illuminator $26
This is a warmer toned, pressed highlighter that is a solid option. I prefer cream or liquid highlighters to powder but if you are looking for a warmer, pressed highlighter, this is your go-to. It’s affordable and overall a really pretty, subtle highlighter. The closest in terms of pressed highlighter to Becca’s Champagne Pop (<–was anyone else equally as obsessed with this when it came out?!)
05. Tower 28 Highlighter $18
I’m so obsessed with this highlighter! It’s glowy and natural looking without being glittery or shimmery. Perfection!
