Wet n Wild makes beautiful affordable highlighters. So does Makeup Revolution. Many to choose from. And Physician's Formula as well.

[@kayjhoselin]

Christine Sexton I need to try the wet n wild highlighters but I haven't found any at my local stores 😫

[@rebeccamckeel5060]

Love the gold eyes! I got the Becca highlighter in Vanilla Quartz in my stocking and it's gorgeous. I have fair skin so I normally use Pearl or Moonstone, Vanilla Quartz is kind of in between the two. The highlighter I used the most over the holidays was Laura Geller's Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator in Diamond Dust and throughout the rest of the year was Anastasia Beverly Hills Starlight Illuminator.

[@annal8798]

Your eye makeup, wow 😍 ill just stay tuned for a tutorial 😉

[@megandaniels3875]

You new we was going to love your eye art work.. Tutorial needed please Thanks for stepping out of the norm

[@saragilliam6871]

I love your eye look today!!! My favorite highlighters have been Glow Goals from Ofra, Prosecco Pop from Becca, and the BH Highlighting palette.

[@AzhureLace]

I just recently fell in love with the Too Faced Diamond highlighter. OMG! I swatched several highlighters at Sephora and have a few at home, but now I've got to great my hands on the Diamond highlighter. It was so smooth and buttery and the color was gorgeous! Of course FB trophy wife and metal moon are on my to-buy list as well 👑

[@Princess__Pika]

I have so many highlighters. Like ridiculous amounts,high end,drugstore,and hands down the makeup revolution skin kiss highlighter in peach glow is my all time favourite!!! It’s quite intimidating as a swatch,but on cheeks you can build and build and will never have a stripe of colour on the cheek,just glow when you turn your head x

[@hannahsunding8811]

You should try the Milani strobelight instant glow powders! They are AMAZING! ❤️

[@reddythepanda29]

I’m obsessed with the spotlight palettes from smashbox that Casey Holmes collabed on! I have both and I can’t put them down! It’s a beautiful everyday highlighter that just makes your skin look so healthy and gorgeous

[@mommajay9112]

Emily Kinz ... I got the pearl smashbox trio for Christmas it is gorgeous!!

[@camnchar]

Love your look on this vid! What did you do?? Love everything! Thanks

[@fibeeg7043]

The makeup revolution highlighter palette is beautiful! I own loads of high end highlighters but the makeup revolution palette has blown me away! You need to try it xx

[@haleyhumphrey9075]

Those eyes girl!!!! Love that look! My favorite highlighter of the year has been the wet n wild in the color precious petals! I will be trying out that becca opal highlighter next... It looks so pretty!

[@Butterfly_Laura]

My favorite highlighter for the year has to be my Becca highlighter in Champagne pop! I love it!!!

[@christopherhall5025]

Laura Mabbitt I couldn't agree more I love the champagne pop it looks great on me or anyone who wears it my wife love the moonstone one they have and Opal.

[@staciericardo]

Love this video. I’m obsessed with highlighter. Where the crap has this been all me life??? I love this look! You look gorgeous as always! I discovered you and your channel this year. So, so, glad. Best discovery of 2017.❤️

[@oliviadendy9460]

I fell in love with the Hourglass Ambient Strobe Lighting highlights!

[@geop7258]

Love this series!! If you love a strong glow then go with the artist couture diamond glow powders!!! They are soooo pretty!!!

[@jenana131]

Omg I bought so many highlighters this year 😵 but my favorites are the Smashbox pearl palette, Becca Light Chasers, Fenty Killawatt highlighters, and Artist Couture diamond glow powders. ✨✨✨

[@kelsenator]

So many pretty highlighters! I don’t have a favourite one for this year but I definitely will be trying some of these.

[@lucymartin6134]

This eyeshadow is on point! My fave highlighter this year was the physicians formula pearl highlighter, I almost never use anything else!!!

[@sarahfigueiredo5807]

Fav highlighter of the moment is jouer’s highlight in citrine! Leaves a beautiful blinding glow but no glitters or sparkles to pick up on texture! Just a smooth glow in a gold champagne color!

[@CristinaMistwalker]

Highlighters!!! My favorite one is the sleek solstice palette, a classic!!

[@Shimmerluxe]

I love this video!! Highlighters are my favorite makeup product, but I have to say that Ofra's Glazed Donut is my most used highlighter this year. It is super gorgeous on my fair skin!!

[@amivose4270]

my faves this year are the milani glow ones, afterglow is an icy one

[@emmajoyce901]

'AND IT WAS LIMITED EDITION' 😂😂 I'm sorry but that made me chuckle! Love you Nikkia!

[@mistyparsons7710]

[@wendyonyoutube]

I am new to highlighters. But I think I made some good choices. I bought the Becca Opal and the Benefit Twinkle. So I am really happy they made it on your list. Now I need to figure out how to use them 😉! Thanks for showing how and where to apply them! Have a wonderful New Year! Oxo, Wendy

[@BelleStreetBoyz]

Gorgeous. I really wish you listed out what makeup products you wear in each video! That would be amazing and so helpful. 💜 Also, I would LOVE to see a tutorial on this look!! So perfect for New Years Eve. Thanks, girl. 😀💖👍

[@evon7686]

What is your fav brush for highlighting??? And my fav highlighter has been the Anastasia sugar glow kit! I have been using it non stop since I got it.

[@TheAmelia1919]

Nikkie your 10min favorites videos are my absolute favorite break while I study. 😀 you are really sweet and you have such a positive vibe! 😘😍

[@DulceLilaBeauty]

Omg I was dying when you said “It spoons me at night” 😂 😂 😂 My favorite highlighter this year has been the DLS baked highlighter in the shade “Bellísima”. ♥️

[@alyssablendlawan3679]

[@makeupbyhera819]

My favorite highlighter 2017 is Anastasia Nicole guerriero highlighter palette , jeffree star princess cut , mac oh darling, Becca champagne pop , huda beauty highlighter palette! I love ❤️

[@katiebisaro1229]

You are definitely my favorite makeup tutorial/review Channel on KZbin! I’ve never been big on makeup applying till recently so I’ve been watching so many videos to learn about products and how to apply makeup. Just wanted to say thank you for your help! Ive purchased many products that you’ve recommended and I love them! I’m looking to find a new foundation because I feel like my smashbox 15 wear foundation breaks me out. Any suggestions for one that may not break me out as much? I have combination skin.

[@taibro97]

If you want intense glow you need to try the Kylie Cosmetics ultra glows!

[@katertotg8389]

I love highlight so much! My favorite is Lancôme's Dual Finish Shimmering Buff 💖

[@clarabaldis4568]

You should do a video of must have eye brushes that are affordable!

[@skorpiomoons]

So I just put this video on just to have something playing in the background and when I picked up my phone I was like DAMN GIRL. Your eye look is so freaking bomb 😭❤️

[@Annie7141]

My favorite highlighters are Becca! Amazing pigmentation and what a glow

[@msiglamour0624]

I just love your videos !! Thanks for being amazing and loving makeup as much as we do!! I'm living for the Elf highlighter right now!! Annnddd what about doing a video on the best eyelash glue!! I have had such a battle trying to find the best one for me and I'm sure we'd all love to hear your opinion!!! 💞💞

[@Samantha-ev8dh]

I’m not a huge make up person to being with so when I actually do make up I like a very natural highlight. My absolute favorite is the Laura Mercier matte radiance baked powder in highlight 01.

[@LadyLoin]

The best and most beaming, beautiful and almost wet looking highlight I've tried in 2017 was the Sleek highlighting palette in Solstice. So beautiful and looks so smooth on the skin, and the highlighting power of it is unreal :) And the best part is, it is drugstore so it is affordable too. But it is better than any high-end highlighter I've tried so far..

[@nickolec.8382]

My two favorite highlighters this year have been, Tarte goddess glow & Laura Geller baked gelato swirl illuminator palette 😁😁.

[@avafloss7755]

I love Becca, your eye makeup is so pretty....plz have a video on that eye look

[@charitysheppard4549]

Your videos are amazing, so informative and helpful. I am enjoying the NYX Duo Chromatic Illuminating Powders. They are a little different and give you highlight a unique look. You really should try them. Happy New Year!!!

[@sarahdick6202]

My favorite is the sugar glow palette from ABH and of course champagne pop!!!

[@jemmaprotacio9053]

Super love how you give recommendations. I almost fell watching this video because of the highlighter you like for 2017 ❤️ Love you and May you the properous new year ahead 😘

[@cathybrown9836]

My fave...hour glass strobe highlighters, 3 in a compact.

[@carissarochelle9408]

[@mademoisellekaya1438]

Nikkia, late to the game but, would you do one about the top 5 or 10 touch-up powders? (Fenty? En the rest?) But also... I'm in seriously search for a illuminating finishing face powder.... Can you dive into that one too? (I know that oily skin type is not really into illuminating finishing face powder but I'm then shiny as f and the next moment totally dry skin (those years whom every woman fears... and the fear and struggle is even more true then! 😶🤐💋 Happy New Year girl!!
