It’s official, this is the top-selling highlighter in the US

By Hanna Ibraheem

It’s formulated with intense pigment, feels lightweight on skin and has enough shades to cover all skin tones…

Yes, glowing skin in the summer may be the not-so-groundbreaking equivalent to florals in spring; but we can’t help sweeping on layers of shimmer to make our skin glow.

Highlighters have skyrocketed into popularity over the last 5 or so years, meaning the market is flooded with a wide range of powders, balms and liquids, all promising to deliver glowing skin. But there’s one highlighter in particular that has earned cult status.

A recent study by The NPD Group found that Becca’s Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter, £30, is the number one best-selling highlighter in the U.S – and with good reason.

The buttery and lightweight formula glides on seamlessly, leaving behind a soft, luminous finish. Plus, it comes in 14 shades – an unusually high number for highlighters – all of which are created with undertones to make them suitable for different skin tones.

Among these shades is Becca’s bestselling option Champagne Pop, a flattering golden champagne shade, created in collaboration with influencer Jaclyn Hill. When the highlighter launched in 2015, Sephora.com sold a staggering 25,000 units in the first 20 minutes alone. As a result, Becca decided to move the limited-edition highlighter into its permanent line-up.

If you’ve been convinced to give it a go, pick from one of the 14 shades below – you won’t regret it.
