Poppin' Highlights for Black Girls

I love a good highlight! Giving makeup that extra glow is just beautiful! Every highlight isn't made for brown or deeper complexions, but some companies do their best trying to compliment our melanated skin. Here's some of my favorite highlights!


Honey Kissed Cosmetics -

  • Rose' ($14.75)
  • Bronze & Bougie ($14.75)
  • Arrogant ($14.75)


Crazy because I found this company on Twitter and was instantly in love with their products! The highlighters I ordered were in loose powder form. Really pigmented!

Wet 'n Wild -

  • Crown of my Canopy ($4.99)


I found this baby in CVS while in college, it was such a pretty rose gold color and it looked really pigmented. I loved it & had I put my friends on! Its a pressed powders & it's cheap!

MakeupShayla x Colourpop Cosmetics -

  • Boomin' ($7)
  • Pose ($7)

Shayla is one of my favorite YouTubers. When I heard she was doing a collab with one of my favorite companies ColourPop I had to cop it all! These highlighters are loose powders. Really pretty colors!


Mac Cosmetics -
Cheeky Bronze ($34)
Global Glow ($34)
Gold Deposit ($34)

My roommate in college put me on! She was a mac feen! These are very subtle highlights, they give you a really natural glow, not as overpowering like a loose powder highlight!


Comment & let me know if you've tried any of these highlights or just tell me your fav! I love new product suggestions! Stay Golden xo.
