Bask in the glory of luminous skin with a
single click of a highlighter pen.
Colorbar
Radiant Glow Highlighter ($8.55)
What we loved: The beautiful champagne sheen
of the formula. The subtle shine
makes it easy to blend.
What we didn’t: Runny consistency. A word of
caution – don’t apply directly onto
your skin, you’ll need to dab it.

Dior
Skinflash Radiance Booster Pen ($42)
What we loved: The sheen and coverage are
sheer and the product is easy to
blend. You can even use it to hide
fine lines!
What we didn’t: The shades available might not
work on a dusky skin tone.
Skinflash
Radiance Booster Pen
Clarins
Instant Light Brush On Perfector ($35)
What we loved: Excellent for faking the
well-rested look. It makes the skin
appear fresher and blurs imperfections.
What we didn’t: A little more sheen would be
nice. The product is somewhere
between a concealer and a highlighter.

Ysl
Touche Éclat Radiant Touch ($44)
What we loved: One of the best in the business
and a favourite with makeup artists,
this one livens up any complexion.
The formula is light yet creamy and crease-proof.
What we didn’t: The applicator’s quantity
control is an issue.

Estée Lauder
Ideal Light Brush-On Illuminator ($39)
What we loved: Works particularly well on the
under-eye area as it brightens and
conceals with light coverage.
What we didn’t: Comes in a limited set of
shades that might not suit every skin
tone.

Elizabeth Arden
Sheer Lights Illuminating Pen ($ 14.39 Approx)
What we loved: If you’re looking for a
brightening concealer, it works quite
well for the purpose. It is easy to blend, stays put and gives light to medium coverage.
What we didn’t: Less illuminating, more
concealing.

Givenchy
Mr Bright Touch Of Light Pen ($34 Approx)
What we loved: The fabulous soft pearly sheen
that it imparts to your skin is out
of this world. You can even blend a tiny
dollop into your moisturiser for a stunning effect.
What we didn’t: Blending is a concern as the
formula is thick.

Chanel
Éclat Lumière Highlighter Face Pen ($37.77)
What we loved: Use it well and you’ll look
fresh as a daisy. It imparts a
fabulous dewy sheen to the skin, hiding fatigue.
What we didn’t: The skin has to be
well-moisturised to ensure it lasts
long.
