Move over, Kylie Jenner; makeup artist extraordinaire Pat McGrath is the latest beauty bigwig whose products can't stay in stock long enough for us to get our hands on them. The always influential McGrath, who has (literally) made up the faces of nearly ever beautiful person you can think of, just launched Skin Fetish 003, an exciting highlighting kit that includes a shiny stick highlighter in gold or nude (an iridescent pink), a highlighter balm and a brush. McGrath's Instagram is filled with examples of models and mortals sporting Skin Fetish and appearing as if they are lit from within.
Needless to say, all of the highlighter kits sold on her website are already sold out and this fascinating product isn’t set to hit all Sephora stores until May 10--where, we'll sure they'll be gobbled up in seconds.
What's a highlighter-obsessed beauty junkie to do? Search for Pat McGrath Skin Fetish 003 dupes, of course. Here are 6 that will tide you over and--who knows?--may even become staples in your makeup bag.

Hourglass Ambient Strobe Lighting Powder
If you're on a quest to master strobing, which is the placement of highlighter on all of those areas of your face that benefit from a little comes-from-within glow, Hourglass Ambient Strobe Lighting Powder is a necessity. This collection of four powders boast ultra-fine micro-pearl particles of various sizes that deliver the most natural glow you can imagine. Don't be discouraged by their glittery appearance--you'll look radiant, but never like a disco queen.

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Strobing Light Highlighter
Fans of Yves Saint Laurent's original highlighter pen will notice this new liquid shimmer-gold formula kicks the strobing experience up a notch. This buildable makeup, which is best saved for nighttime events that call for dramatic looks, allows you to use as little or as much as you want. You should only buy this pen if you like a little glitter with your dewy makeup.

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed
You can't beat the complexity of highlighter shades Becca offers, from Pearl to Opal to Champagne Pop. What we love most about this highlighter collection, though, is that it goes on like cream, comes in a cute compact, and is extremely pigmented, meaning a little goes a very long way. Apply to cheekbones for definition and dab a bit on the center of your lips for an instant illumination.

MAC Iridescent Pressed Powder in Sparkling Rose
Sure, technically, this is a pressed powder, but it features the shimmering sheen of a highlighter and, when used this way, delivers a sweet and pretty glow.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Illuminator
This best-selling brush-on highlighter lets you brighten and highlight your best features without covering them with frost. Anastasia Beverly Hills even makes things easy by offering just two shades: Peach Nectar or Riviera. There's a good reason why this is a Kardashian favorite: it works wonders on all skin tones.

Lorac Light Source Illuminating Highlighter in Daylight
If a product is called "Daylight," you expect that it will deliver the most natural glow possible and Lorac doesn't disappoint. The pearl gold shade is subtle, but packs just enough of a punch--the one you need to take you from tired-looking to extraordinary skin in seconds.
