Maybelline is expanding its Master Chrome highlighter collection with the addition of three new shades, one of which is a highly pigmented gold that's especially flattering on deeper skin tones.
The gold shade follows the release of Rihanna's Fenty Beauty 'Trophy Wife' highlighter, which has proven incredibly popular since its release a few months ago. As the Maybelline Master Chrome shade looks almost identical, it's clear that the brand is following suit to be more inclusive of consumers with deeper skin tones.
So far, the brand hasn't shared the other two shades that will also be a part of the drop, but it's revealed that each one will cost just $10 USD, and it's likely they'll be out well ahead of the summer.
