Illuminating Rainbow Highlighters

Maybelline's Master Fairy Highlight Creates a Prismatic Glow

Beauty fanatics who are looking to beef up their collections with some more affordable products are likely to find Maybelline's new Master Fairy Highlight appealing, which is available from drugstores for just $10 USD.

As the highlighter features a number of rainbow-inspired hues in one palette, consumers can achieve a range of different looks with it by using the colors individually, or mixing them together. By doing the latter, consumers can get a beautiful prismatic glow, that's subtle enough to be worn everyday.

In addition to being used to add some illumination to one's look, Maybelline's Master Fairy Highlight can be used as a sparkling blush, or as an eye shadow, making it a multi-purpose palette that's great for travel.
