Nothing beats a good makeup day, and a good makeup day is never made until you use a great highlighter. To get a glowing, cosmic look, most ladies and gents grab one of the Milk Makeup Holographic Sticks. This highlighter is a cult favorite for just about everyone: whether you like to cake your face or go for a minimal approach, you’ll fall in love with the shimmering pigments of these highlighters. This intergalactic highlighter comes in three different shades: blinding lavender “Supernova,” golden peach “Mars,” and the mesmerizing pink “Stardust,” and we’re obsessed with every single hue in this line.
But, one of the major setbacks of this highlighter is that it’s pretty pricey. Each highlighter is $30 each, so if you’re a fan of all three of the vibrant colors available, you’re looking at an expensive receipt. Luckily for everyone, we did some major Internet digging and found some of the top dupes for this iconic highlighting stick. That’s right, prepare to be hypnotized by these captivating colors, all at a fraction of the price of Milk Makeup’s Holographic Sticks.
This NYX Professional Makeup highlighter stick is just as holographic as it’s name says, and we’re officially obsessed with it. It’s the perfect dupe to Milk Makeup’s Holographic Stick in Supernova because of it’s light lavender pigment and it’s extreme shimmer. It’s also extremely easy to apply: just swipe, blend, and you’re ready to take on the day! And no worries about reapplying throughout the day, because this glittery highlighter is definitely long-lasting. It’s buildable formula makes this highlighter extremely versatile, so you can swipe on a little bit for an average day glow, or pack it on for a strobing effect that’s perfect for parties and festivals.
If you’re in search of a dupe for Milk Makeup’s Holographic Stick in the shade Mars, then look no further. Wet n’ Wild’s MegaGlo Makeup Stick in Hustle & Glow is the perfect replica of this shimmery shade. It’s nearly identical to the light holographic peach shade you’ve known and loved from Milk Makeup, without the hefty price. This highlight is also easy to blend out, and gives a natural sheen to your cheeks. And at just under $5, we’ll be stocking up on this and all of the other shades Wet n’ Wild has to offer!
At first glance, you’d think we’re nuts for picking this highlighter as a dupe of Milk Makeup’s Holographic Stick in it’s newest hyper-pink shade, Stardust. But, hear us out: when you apply Stardust onto your skin, it’s more sheer than it looks in the tube, and leave an illuminating glow with a slight pick tint to it. That’s why it’s so similar to this highlighter from e.l.f. cosmetics! They both leave a subtle pink hue, and are fabulously sparkly, leaving you shining bright like a diamond all day and night long. And for just $4, why wouldn’t you give this highlighter a try?
