Drugstore Highlighters Celebs Can't Live Without

If you're looking for highlighters that will give you the ultimate glow without breaking the bank, you've come to the right place.

One look at red carpet regulars like Zendaya and Cara Delevingne, and you'll notice two things immediately: their killer style and glowing skin. What's the secret to their goddess-like radiance? Highlighter, a beauty lover's godsend. The product is universally-flattering, illuminating facial features with ease. Gold and bronze shades look amazing on darker tones, while pearl-like highlighters glow on fairer skin. It's a must-have for every makeup bag.

While there's definitely nothing wrong with splurging on products like the Kylighter (on the off-chance that you can purchase it in the .5 seconds before it sells out, of course), there are more price-friendly highlighters out there that will get the job done too.
Don't just take our word for it. Keep scrolling to see what the celebs have to say about their favorite drugstore highlighters!

Khloe Kardashian

Keeping up with this Kardashian's beauty routine isn't the easiest thing in the world, but we can definitely handle running down to the drugstore to grab Koko's fave highlighter. The reality star took to Twitter to rave about Vivid Baked Highlighter saying : "[My] cheekbones were so sharp, they could cut a b!tch." Killer cheekbones? We're totally here for it.

"Then I put my highlighter on top and boom!"
