Summer is the season where we swap out the word "sweaty" and replace it with "glowy" when referring to our skin. But if you're looking to add some extra illumination to your complexion, you don't have to look too far. We often want to carry the glow from the summer well into the fall months (and even winter, if we can manage it), but bronzers often look out of place past, like, September when the tans start to fade and the pastiness returns. While highlighters always have their heyday in the spring when freshness is in, we have three highlighting sticks that we'll be carrying with us long past the last summer hangover wears off.
Maybelline New York Face Studio Master Strobing Stick ($13, available at drugstores)
When we caught a glimpse of this little puppy backstage last season at Toronto Fashion Week (may it rest in peace), it was an instant attraction. Not only were we hearing that the backstage makeup artists were all battling to get their hands on it, but when you see the glow-factor this creamy little stick creates, you know why everyone is swooning. Available in two shades, we recommend using the Medium/Nude Glow shade for a more natural flush of colour that will blend into your skin seamlessly while still adding that brightening boost you crave.
