I'm looking for a highlighter that doesn't have any sparkles or glitter... Haven't found one yet. Do any of you have some suggestions?

You could use a light-colored concealer. I love RMS Luminizer!

There's benefit shy beam which is a matte liquid highlighter.

The hourglass ambient lighting powders are very subtle (I use it to set my makeup occasionally) if you wanted to try that as a highlight.

You could use a product like vaseline to create sheen.

You could also use something like YSL touche eclat.

Or even just leave areas unpowdered (ie: tops of cheekbones to leave it dewy.

Hi Kat, I'm one of the rare people who don't do the sparkly highlighters as well and my favorite highlighter is the Laura geller French vanilla! I will swatch it for you :)

I agree on FRENCH VANILLA. Also, Laura Geller makes a product called ROSE GLOW which is an "illuminator". It's highlight intensity is inbetween the French Vanilla which is a semi matte satin with no shimmer and let's say her Ballerina Gelato Highlighter which has your average amount of highlighter shimmer. ROSE GLOW is marketed as an illuminator so it can actually be worn all over the face, that's how tame it is, but it has the tiniest amount of shimmer. Similar to those liquid type illuminators you mix in with foundation. The color is a beigey rose gold. I got mine at Qvc, not sure if Ulta is carrying it yet. They also sell Laura Geller in some select Macys.

@Chris that's a really good idea for summer
@Rebecca @Shengmin thanks for the suggestions
@Sabrina I know, right? Thanks for the swatches. I have another Laura Geller one but it has lots of sparkle
@Marleen that sounds just about perfect

The benefit shy beam one is really good and is a matte highlighter.

Laura mercier matte highlighter in 01. It will be your best friend and it is the most stunning thing. Everyone I know is hooked.

I use Wet n Wild e/s in creme brulee. It's a matte cream colored shadow. I originally bought it to highlight my brow bone but realized it looks really nice under my eyes and on my nose. It's pigmented but subtle at the same time. I really hate sparkly highlighters- it makes me look shiny and emphasizes my pores.
