Becca Cosmetics recently launched a collection of two-color highlighters called 'Light Chasers' that shift subtly when they catch the light. As Becca Cosmetics notes, "Amethyst flashes Geode," while "Rose Quartz flashes Seashell," making for interesting and eye-catching colors to accentuate one's best features.

The highly pigmented, limited-edition highlighters are described as offering "the perfect marriage of [kaleidoscopic color and light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phreeze)" to create a [luminous glow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-luminizer-line). To create what Becca calls an "otherworldly glow" or a "metamorphic finish," the brand recommends [layering the product atop a blush](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ontheglow-blush) or eyeshadow to add more interest and depth to one's stylish beauty looks.

While many consumers are comfortable creating duo-chrome beauty looks by layering on multiple cosmetics, these easy-to-use highlighters require little to no skill or mixing to achieve results that are instantly captivating.
