Struggling to fit all your makeup products into one pouch, or simply trying to get the extra three minutes of sleep in the morning?

Enter the “blighlighters”, a term coined by celebrity makeup artist Jamie Greenberg. This is what she calls products that have a 2-in-1 hybrid combination of matte blush and sparkly highlighter so create a youthful flush that also glows on your cheeks. In other words, instead of having to use a blush and a highlighter to create this coveted look, you can achieve it with the help of just one product, saving you time in your makeup routine!
