While I am a big believer in taking good care of your skin, working out, and drinking lots of water to get that lit-from-within, natural glow, a little help from makeup products doesn't hurt either. In fact, a good highlighter can give you a radiant complexion and cheekbones for days–just look at Jennifer Lopez or Kim Kardashian! But not all highlighters are created equal. To keep you from looking like a disco ball, I rounded up some of the best ones to try for this spring and summer!
