This season, it's all about highlighting. Stars like Kim Kardashian have ditched contouring in favour of more subtle trends such as strobing and 'nontouring', which consist of highlighting the parts of your face that catch light for a fresh-faced radiant glow.
We take a look at the best highlighters you'll want to add to your beauty bag to master the trend – click through for the full list…
