I’ve written about a lot of highlighters before. There’s the expert-level one by Pat McGrath, used on the runway to get Bella Hadid–like cheekbones. There’s the one used by a Kardashian. There’s the one used on photo shoots everywhere, that’s made from the best coconut oil in the world.
But this highlighter, from Marc Jacobs Beauty, is a highlighter for the people, with a creamy, golden, “look at how great my cheekbones are” glow. It won’t reflect off a bounce light held by a member of an E! television crew, but it will make your friend ask you in a dimly lit bar, “What are you wearing on your cheeks?”

They’ll also appreciate that you only need to apply it once in the morning for an all-day glow, since it’s long-lasting and doesn’t cake or look streaky. Here’s how to apply it.
