Tried and tested - cheek highlighters

Lip and Cheek Stain
The Body Shop
£9.50
This magic wand was a little different to the other two products, giving a rich rose tint rather than a translucent shimmery finish. Despite giving a healthy glow, I found the product a little sticky. On the lips it achieves a deep but natural shade, although tastes a little strange and needs an overcoat of Vaseline to prevent drying out the lips.
Verdict: Handbag essential

Beat the Blues
Me Me Me
£4.50
From the new celeb cosmetic range for Superdrug, this highlighter gives a nice shimmer but takes a little longer to blend than Benefit's High Beam due to a more watery consistency. The brush is also quite thin but the product is an affordable alternative to High Beam and would be great for everyday use.
Verdict: Everyday use

High Beam
Benefit
£17.50
One of Benefit's best-sellers, High Beam sells itself as the 'make up artists' secret' and certainly gives a professional finish. The thick brush gives an even coverage which only takes a couple of dabs to blend. While it's expensive, the quality consistency means you need only use a couple of dots each time.
Verdict: Save for nights out
