When it comes to buying makeup, we’re always concerned about purchasing a hit or a miss. Hence, we often turn to reviews from beauty Youtubers and influencers who try them for us. However, if we’re talking specifics such as highlighters, there’s one drugstore favourite among all of them.

Let’s Chat About The Essence Pure Nude Highlighter

First and foremost, let’s discuss the package. A plastic compact holds the highlighter. There is no mirror or brush included, and the top is transparent so you can see what’s inside. Overall, the container appears to be rather light, yet the lid snaps securely shut, and it appears to be durable enough for travel.

If you’re a huge fan blinding everyone with your shine- then this is not for you. This formula applies subtlely, creating a natural, gentle shimmer with a light sheen. Because the highlighter is baked, it has a little drier and dustier texture. The pigmentation isn’t intense, but it may be built up over time to produce a more intense stripe.

Forget the fan brush- make the best out of this highlighter by using a rounded brush to create a more natural-looking application. The finish settles onto your skin without creating any patchiness nor does it cling onto the texture. It instead looks smooth against the skin which is what we all want.

The highlighter comes in 4 shades:

Be My Cosmolight

Soft green with warm undertones and a changing sheen that ranges from minty green to greenish-gold.

Be My Highlight

A beautiful golden peach with warm undertones and a gentle, light-medium shine.

Be My Spacelight

A light white foundation with a changing pink-to-lavender pearl. The base is more transparent, and the pearl is quite fine.

Be My Sunlight

A delicate, golden peach with a metallic shine and warm undertones.
