Positive Light Liquid Luminizer

"Glow in a bottle that doesn't scream 'I'm wearing highlighter.'"

Our take
$28 Price at Rare Beauty, checked Oct 2026.
The short answer

Rare Beauty's Positive Light Liquid Luminizer is a liquid highlighter that gives a dewy, buildable glow. It's for people who want a lit-up look that melts into skin instead of sitting on top like glitter. At $28 for 15 mL, it lasts a long time.

How to use
Apply one or two dots to the high points of your face, like cheekbones, brow bone and the bridge of your nose. Blend with fingertips, a brush or a sponge.

Our Take

Why it made the edit.

Why we love it
A dot or two is enough, and it blends with fingers, a brush or a sponge. You can go subtle or build it up for nights out.
Skip it if
You have very oily skin and already fight extra shine by noon.
The catch
It's easy to overdo on oily skin. Keep it to the high points.
