Lava Luminiser, £46 | Fenty Beauty
Best For: Suits-All Shades
In founder Rihanna’s words, this body oil-highlight hybrid will have you drenched in ‘light.’ Its silky formula and lightweight finish gives the skin a dewy, high-shine sheen. Think of it as a liquid highlight for your body but without the clunky glitter – it’s also grease-free. Blend it into clean skin at high points like the collarbones or apply it onto large sections for a full-body glow. There’s also a flattering selection of shades to suit a range of skin tones.

Soleil Brûlant Shimmering Body Oil, £75 | Tom Ford
Best For: A Lightweight Formula
A cult classic, this adds a soft glow, while the subtle gold and platinum leaf shimmers helps you achieve a radiant and fresh look. Its hydrating powers are second to none and the warming coconut scent is reminiscent of summer holidays.

Pool Time Glowing Body Oil, £36 | Summer Fridays
Best For: A Skin-Loving Formulation
This oil is brimming with hydrating properties that soften and smooth skin. Antioxidant-rich vitamin E defends against damaging free radicals, while macadamia, jojoba, apricot and sunflower oils lock in moisture long term. The light-reflecting gold and platinum flecks catch the light just enough to enhance the look of your skin and we love the scent, too – think notes of coconut, vanilla blossom and warm almond.

Orgasm Dry Body Oil, £45 | Nars
Best For: Long-Lasting Results
Formulated with Nars Orgasm’s signature pinky-golden shade, this product emulates the cult blush colour for a unique skin tint. A luxurious texture, the dry oil is full of nourishing ingredients including vitamin E. Silky and smooth, the natural-looking, luminous finish promises up to six hours of wear – perfect for long summer days in the sun.

Born To Shine Shimmer Oil Spray, £12.95 | SOSU Dripping Gold
Best For: A Non-Greasy Finish
Skin-loving ingredients like vitamin E, jojoba oil and argan oil makes SOSU’s shimmery body oil one of the most hydrating on this list. Though it contains thicker glitter particles, it never feels heavy or greasy on the skin. In fact, it manages to lock in a hefty dose of moisture, while the golden glow is impactful enough for an evening out. As it’s a spray, it’s easy to apply, too. Mist it on and blend with a make-up brush or your fingers. Just go easy – a little goes a long way.

Les Beiges Illuminating Oil, £70 | Chanel
Best For: A Bit Of Luxury
Able to be used on the body, face and hair, this three-in-one product is an industry favourite for a reason. With a beautiful shine, its reflective qualities create a satin-like glow and when applied to the hair, it adds a coppery, sun-blushed tint which enhances your existing hair colour. If you’re using it on the face or body, try mixing it in with your cream or make-up for a more natural-looking finish. A luxe choice, but a worthy investment for the expensive finish.

Glowmotions Glow Oil, £35 | SoL De Janeiro
Best For: Those On-The-Go
Bottled in a compact, handbag-sized bottle, this is the perfect product for those on-the-go. Made with cupuaçu butter and antioxidant-rich açaí oil, skin feels deeply nourished, with better elasticity and firmness. Promising a vacation-like finish, choose from two equally flattering shades – ‘Copacabana Bronze’ or ‘Rio Sunset.’

Major Glow Body Oil, £19 | Patrick Ta
Best For: Impactful Shimmer
If you want glow without the colour, this his the oil for you. The transparent base is paired with coloured flecks, with shades of champagne, pink or gold pearls. The result? A subtle but dewy, glass-like radiance – zero bronzing in sight. Even better, the formula softens and moisturises skin in the process, thanks to potent combination of olive oil, squalane and vitamin C. Plus, the jasmine, saffron and ambergris fragrance only adds to the luxury.

Lumiére Caramel Shimmer Oil, £44 | French Girl
Best For: Sensitive Skin
Non-comedogenic, those with sensitive skin can rest assured that this gentle blend will work for them. Hero ingredients include North African argan oil, shea butter and a blend of skin-similar oils to boost hydration – quick to absorb, it plumps skin from the inside out, giving it an airbrushed, smoother quality with tiny flecks of shimmer. Just be aware this does transfer slightly, so pair it only with dark clothing, or when you’re beachside.
