Whenever I use highlighter on my face the "highlighted" parts look really greasy and oily. Any tips or fixes?

Before you put on the highlighter, try a transloosing powder.. Are you using a powder highlighter or a creamy one?

I'm using the watts up stick highlighter from benefit, I'm placing it in my forehead, above my cheekbones, nose, and chin, & yes my face is naturally pretty oily but it's even more oily when I highlight it.

The watts up it iridescent which may be your problem, try a matte highlighter. Get a concealer lighter than your skin tone to highlight and apply it under your powder. Setting it with translucent powder will allow you to achieve the high lighted look without looking overly shiny.

I would only use an iridescent highlighter on the cheekbones but not on any other large area of the face. I agree on using a matte highlighter on the nose, forehead & chin.
