Glow Getter: The Guide to Body Shimmers and Body Glows
Not all that shines is created equal. Here’s how to find the perfect match for your body’s best highlight
Everyone wants skin that catches the light. But when your usual brightening lotion won’t cut it, body shimmers and glows are your body’s best bets. The real question now isn’t whether to shine—but how and with what, as picking the right one can make all the difference between a subtle glow and a bold statement. Here’s what sets them apart.

Body Shimmers: For the Scene-Stealers
Body shimmers are the extroverts of the glow world—bold, eye-catching, and undeniably extra. Great for nights out or special events, these products are all about getting noticed.
Shimmers, however, can be a little tricky when not applied right. The glitter flecks may come a little too chunky and uneven, which can feel more theatrical or gaudy when applied in excess. If you’re after a refined look, a light hand would be your best friend here—just a dab on the décolletage or shoulders is enough to create a glowing—and not a disco ball—effect.
That said, when done right, shimmers are unbeatable for creating drama and dimension. A little goes a long way, and when you pair it with the right lighting, occasion, and placement, they can elevate the look from good to unforgettable.
Body Glows: For Everyday Radiance
Body glows are the low-maintenance sister of shimmers. They deliver a softer, more dewy effect—perfect for those moments when you want to look radiant without the drama. No chunky glitter, no mess, just a fresh, luminous glow.
They can sometimes struggle to make an impact in less-than-ideal lighting and might require direct sunlight to pop. Yet what makes them great is their versatility and efficiency—just apply and go for a fresh-out-the-shower glow all day long.
Body glows also tend to have a more nourishing, hydrating feel as these are applied the way you would your lotions, and are usually packed with moisturizing and brightening ingredients. It’s the kind of radiance that makes your skin look healthier—minus the glitter overload.
Which One Fits Your Moment?
When it comes to it, the answer depends on what you’re after. Both have their place, but the key is knowing when to reach for which moment. That said, it’s worth having both in your beauty arsenal. Body glows are perfect for those everyday moments when you want a soft, healthy radiance, while shimmers are your ticket for going all out. One is subtle and inviting, the other loud and impossible to ignore.
Ultimately, they both have their time and place, but knowing how to highlight your skin the right way can help you look and feel your best.
