Giorgio Armani Neo Nude A-Highlight is Joanna Fleming's favourite liquid highlighter, a water-based, buildable formula that gives a natural pearly glow and blends seamlessly into the skin. The piece explains why it stands out, details the two shade choices and doe-foot applicator, and shares reader reviews and how it fits the Neo Nude range.
Top Insights From This Guide
- Pick Giorgio Armani Neo Nude A-Highlight for a subtle, buildable pearly glow.
- Use the water-based liquid if you want a natural finish that blends seamlessly.
- Choose the soft pink or pale champagne shade to match cool or warm undertones.
- Try the doe-foot applicator for quick on-the-go application and travel convenience.
You’d think as a beauty editor that highlighter would be a staple product in my makeup routine – but believe it or not, I rarely use it. That’s not to say I haven’t tried a lot of them, I’ve just never been obsessed by highlighter like everyone else.
I’m a minimalist when it comes to my own makeup, and I rely on the dewy glow of my YSL Touche Eclat All-In-One Glow Foundation to give me natural radiance, instead of that frosted chunky shimmer you get from some highlighters.
It wasn’t until last week that I actually met a highlighter I could welcome into my makeup kit with open arms. I’m calling it: Giorgio Armani’s Neo Nude A-Highlight is my favourite, and she’s worth her price tag.
Why I Love It:
Because it actually looks natural! For someone who wears light coverage and just wants to add a touch of glow, A-Highlight allows you to do that, but it also gives you the option to build it up for more intensity.
- It’s a water-based liquid that instantly & seamlessly blends into the skin
- Gives the appearance of a healthy glow with an understated pearly finish
- The formula is sheer yet buildable & application is basically foolproof
- The velvety doe-foot applicator makes it on-the-go & travel friendly
- It’s available in two shades, a soft pink or pale champagne
But Wait, There’s More:
As many of us move into a less is more mantra for makeup, Giorgio Armani is leading the way. Not only do we have the Neo Nude A-Highlight, but this is part of the wider Neo Nude range which also features the A-Blush, A-Contour, Ecstasy Balm and Fusion Powder. It’s basically a collection of products that help you to nail the ‘no makeup’ makeup look.

This highlighter leaves a stunning, natural yet pearly shimmer to my cheekbones and Cupid’s bow. So so worth it. The texture is incredible.

Exceeded expectations

This highlight perfectly melts into a totally seamless glistening (not glittery) glow!! This is definitely my favourite and probably only highlight product I will purchase now. It sits within your skin like magic, not on top of it..no nasty streak of shiny paint look.
