Highlighter is back in the spotlight, thanks to a fresh wave of maximalist makeup that celebrates shimmer and shine — but you don’t have to abandon your soft, simple routine to join in. Even the laziest makeup lovers can get in on the glow now, because this trend is all about effortless radiance rather than complicated techniques or heavy layers.
And if you want to make the look your own (without lifting a finger more than necessary), SHEGLAM’s newest launch, the Buttery Bling Highlight Stick, is the perfect place to start. This ultra-creamy formula takes all the guesswork out of achieving a luminous finish, blending seamlessly for a natural, lit-from-within sheen. Unlike the chalky powders of the past, it glides on like skincare — and is actually good for your skin. And right now, it doesn’t get much better (or on trend) than gleaming cheekbones, glittery eyelids, and a touch of sparkle on the lids.
Here’s everything to love about the SHEGLAM Buttery Bling Highlight Stick, and why it’s bound to become the MVP of even the laziest makeup bag.
The Formula: Built for Blending
Who says highlighter has to be hard on your skin? Some highlighters simply sit on top of skin, reflecting light and not doing much else for it. SHEGLAM takes a more modern approach with a buttery, creamy texture, which practically melts into skin in a matter of seconds. It’s also buildable, so you can start with a single swipe for a satiny sparkle, and layer it on to turn the glimmer to a glitter.
But beyond the satisfying feel, the stick is also infused with skincare ingredients that actively nourish skin while you wear it. A blend of jojoba seed, avocado, and meadowfoam seed oils delivers an instant moisture boost to skin, all while lending the highlighter its silky-smooth feel. (It's also infused with sodium hyaluronate, a stable form of hyaluronic acid—a humectant known for its ability to draw water into skin.) Together, they help your skin feel just as good as it looks.
The Format: A Breeze to Apply
When it comes to creating a glittery highlight, Buttery Bling Highlight Stick makes it simple. For one, it offers portability unlike no other. If you want to bring it on the go for touch-ups, just slip it into your bag, where it takes up as much space as a lip balm.
On top of that, the Buttery Bling Highlight Stick has a rounded tip that allows it to glide over cheekbones, brow bones, lips, or even wherever you want to add a little shimmer to your body. And since it’s a stick, you don’t have to fuss with a brush. Simply dab or swipe it on and blend with your fingers for instant bling.
The creamy formula also gives it added versatility: Since it's so nourishing and easy to use, you can wear it as a cream eyeshadow, dab it onto your cupid's bow to accentuate the lips, or even blend it onto the shoulders and chest like a body shimmer.
The Finish: In Shades That Stun
While some highlighters can take on a chalky look, that’s not the case with the Buttery Bling Highlighter Stick. It instead leaves skin with a soft, glossy glow — with a touch of sparkle, of course. The only hard part is trying to choose from the six shades: Vanilla Frost (a sheer silver), Gold Rings (a soft gold), Pink Satin (a blush-gold), Rose Rush (a fun mauve), Pie Crust (classic peach), and Red Bean (a playful coral).
Each works with all skin tones, adding a luminous pop of shine to skin. Consider the SHEGLAM Buttery Bling Highlighter Stick your new hero in highlighting — and just the thing to take your look from basic to blinged-out in seconds. Lazy girl-approved.
