Lykkers, have you ever found a highlighter that instantly changes the whole mood of your makeup? Not the kind that only shines under bathroom lighting, but the one that catches sunlight so beautifully that you keep checking your reflection every five minutes.

I’ve tested plenty over the years, but two highlighters continue to survive every makeup clean-out I do: Somethinc Immortal Highlighter and Fenty Beauty Killawatt. They’re completely different in personality, yet somehow both earned a permanent spot in my makeup bag.

1. Somethinc Immortal Highlighter — The Soft Glow That Looks Expensive

The first time I tried the Somethinc Immortal Highlighter, I honestly expected a simple everyday shimmer. Instead, it surprised me with a glow that looked smooth and refined rather than chunky or glittery. Some affordable highlighters can emphasize texture on the skin, but this one melts into the face in a way that feels almost creamy.

What I personally love most is how wearable it is. On rushed mornings, I can sweep it across my cheekbones with my fingers and still look put together. It gives that “healthy skin after drinking enough water” effect instead of screaming, “I’m wearing highlighter.” Another thing worth mentioning is the shade tone. It doesn’t pull too icy or too yellow, so it blends naturally into the skin.

2. Fenty Beauty Killawatt — The Glow That Refuses To Be Ignored

Fenty Beauty Killawatt has a completely different energy. If Somethinc is the effortless quiet girl, Killawatt walks into the room wearing heels and confidence. The shine is more intense, more reflective, and unapologetically bold in the best way possible. The first swipe instantly made me understand why beauty lovers still talk about it years after release.

The pigmentation is strong, but not in a harsh way. It gives this glossy metallic finish that photographs beautifully, especially during golden hour. Every time I wear it for dinners or events, someone eventually asks what’s on my cheeks. One thing I appreciate is the versatility. I don’t only use it as a highlighter. Sometimes I tap it onto my eyelids when I want quick glam without spending twenty minutes blending eyeshadow. It creates that expensive sparkling effect with minimal effort.

Makeup becomes more fun when products actually make you excited to use them, and these two highlighters genuinely do that for me. Somethinc Immortal Highlighter gives that delicate lit-from-within glow perfect for everyday moments, while Fenty Beauty Killawatt delivers bold radiance that turns simple makeup into a statement.
