Popular cosmetics brand Milk Makeup is well-loved for its easy-to-use products that can be implemented for multiple different purposes, and its 'Glitter Stick' highlighters are no exception.

The product comes in a [solid formula](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cream-highlighter-sticks) that can be warmed up when it comes into contact with the user's finger for a more spreadable consistency. Alternatively, it can simply be glided onto the high points on one's brows, cheeks and other areas to quickly add some statement-worthy shimmer. In addition, the Glitter Stick can be used as a [dewy eyeshadow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gogo-cooling-shimmer-eyeshadow-stick) to draw more attention to one's eyes, with the bits of glitter reflecting the light that hits it.

The miniature version of the Glitter Stick is available from retailers like [Sephora](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-powder-luminizer), as well as from Milk Makeup's site.
