While I love that Black Moon Cosmetics is carried in Ulta, so you won’t see the highlighters there. They have a limited range of products available. You can find Deville, Haunting, Sleepwalker, Warrior, Armageddon and Castle liquid lipsticks, as well as the Orb of Light palette.

What I Want in a Highlighter

I want my highlighter to give me the lit-from-within ethereal pearlescent glowy skin that I crave. Yes, I want to look otherworldly and vaguely threatening. I want my dry skin to look glowy and gorgeous.

What I Don’t Want in a Highlighter

I do not want chunky glitter in my highlighter that emphasizes any texture on my cheeks. I have great skin, but I still feel like glittery highlighters make my cheeks look strange, not sexy.

Black Moon Cosmetics Moonlighter Swatches

I bought Black Moon Cosmetics Moonlighter in Catshark first, then realized I was all about this formula, so bought several more shades. I should have just bought the bundle and saved, because I’ve bought every color except for Dragonfish.

Wearing Black Moon Cosmetics Moonlighters

I wanted to share some photos of me wearing the best gothic highlighters: the Black Moon Cosmetics Moonlighters. Catshark was the only highlighter I brought to Scotland. It’s the one I wear the most.

Black Moon Cosmetics Moonlighters Review

L to R – Centipede, Shroom, Glow Worm, Jellyfish, Squid, Catshark

Catshark – an iridescent lilac highlighter

Squid – a glorious diamond white highlighter

Jellyfish – an iridescent jellyfish blue highlighter

Glow Worm – an iridescent lime green highlighter

Shroom – a pink and light gold iridescent highlighter with pink reflects throughout

Centipede – a stunning pale banana yellow highlighter

As I mentioned above, Catshark is my favorite shade and I’ve hit pan on it. It’s my daily wear highlighter because I’m purple obsessed. Jellyfish is an awesome otherworldly blue. Squid and Centipede are great for everyday ‘normal’ highlighter shades on all skintones. Glow Worm is perfect for when I want to channel my Slytherin side. Shroom is a slightly different formula and on the chunky side. I typically use Shroom as a highlighting blush. Centipede I’ve experimented with but generally find it too dark for my skintone.

Which highlighter would you hit pan on first? What’s your current favorite highlighter? What’s your pick for the best gothic highlighters?
