One thing I’ve always admired about Kim Kardashian, aside from her business savvy, is how ethereal her skin looks when she walks the red carpet. Of course, skin prep is part of the equation, but the real secret to her show-stopping radiance is a specific creamy highlighter.

One of Kardashian’s favorite makeup artists, Ash K. Holm, tells Us that she uses the Makeup by Mario Soft Glow Highlighter on the multi-hyphenate. “She loves a glow, and this highlighter delivers every time,” Holm said. “It gives a soft-focus sheen that looks lit-from-within, never powdery.”

This unique formula is truly a one-of-a-kind hybrid highlighter. It’s a powder that feels creamy, and it melts into skin the moment you tap it in. It kind of feels like magic, thanks to the silky texture that’s made with microspheres and pearls to create a filter-like effect.

Kolm often applies the highlighter along Kardashian’s cheekbones and temples, but it can really be used anywhere. To draw attention to your pout, dab it on your cupid’s bow. Or, you can even dust it along your collarbones when you’re wearing something strapless to draw attention upwards. Simply take a fluffy brush, or your finger and smooth a tiny amount along the high points of your face and body.

Highlighters can often go from zero to strobe in a flash, but makeup novices confirm it provides a natural finish with just a flick of your wrist.

“​​This is my best friend in my makeup bag. I’m not much of a highlighter person so that seems bizarre to say, but this is so dependable and adds that special something/finishing touch to make every look flawless,” one Sephora shopper said. “It looks SO NATURAL that you can’t tell you’re hearing highlighter – it just gives an absolutely ethereal glow. Also, it lasts forever — after a long day, I know my highlighter will still be there making my face look perfect.”

A makeup product that’s easy to use, pretty much infallible and loved by a Kardashian? That’s something everyone needs in their makeup bag. Grab the Makeup by Mario Soft Glow Highlighter and get one step closer to glowing like Kim Kardashian!
