Affordable Mint-Colored Highlighters

Essence's New Highlighter Has Been Rapidly Selling Out

Drugstore beauty brand Essence recently came out with a unique mint-green highlighter, called the 'Pure Nude Cosmolighter.'

Despite what some may assume, the mint-green shade leaves a flattering glow on the skin, and is suitable for all skin types. As Teen Vogue reports, the slight green undertones help to correct any natural redness that may be present on one's face, allowing the pearly glow to shine through even more. Once the highlighter is applied, bits of gold shimmer come through more clearly as well, making for a healthy-looking glow that can be worn anywhere.

The Pure Nude Cosmolighter is currently available online and in major drugstores in the US, however its anticipated release has caused many locations to quickly sell out.
