Available from [Bitter Lace Beauty](https://www.instagram.com/bitter.lace.beauty/) on Etsy, the highlighting product reflects light and gives the skin a magically dewy appearance in all the colors of the rainbow. Currently out of stock due to popularity, the [PRISM](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heaven-skincare) rainbow highlighter is suitable for all skin tones. The metallic palette is part of a homemade cosmetic range by Jenna, which also consists of gold and copper, pink and nude, seafoam mint and a gold-silver combo highlight. A few of these are even vegan-friendly. Given the recent surge of strobing as a makeup technique, it is unsurprising this highlighting product is all the rage. A new release date will be made known soon. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Rainbow Highlighters:** Opportunity for cosmetic companies to develop and market a range of multi-colored highlighters that appeal to customers looking for unique makeup products. - **Strobing Makeup Technique:** Opportunity for makeup brands to create and promote products specifically designed for achieving the strobing effect, such as illuminators and highlighting palettes. - **Vegan-friendly Cosmetics:** Opportunity for cosmetics companies to cater to the growing demand for vegan-friendly beauty products by offering a range of cruelty-free highlighters and other makeup items. ### Who This Affects Most - **Cosmetics:** The cosmetics industry can capitalize on the popularity of rainbow highlighters by creating their own versions and incorporating them into their product lines. - **Makeup:** The makeup industry can take advantage of the strobing trend by developing and marketing products that help achieve the desired effect, such as illuminators and highlighting tools. - **Beauty:** The beauty industry can tap into the demand for vegan-friendly cosmetics by offering a range of cruelty-free and natural highlighters and other makeup products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gilded Glowing Highlighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-powder-luminizer.md) - [Shimmery Waterproof Highlighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-bond-range.md) - [Protective Liquid Highlighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glow-protect-spf-50-liquid-highlighter.md) - [High-End Highlighter Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-glow-highlighter.md) - [Metallic Jelly Highlighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jelly-slime-all-over-highlighter.md) - [Glow-Boosting Skin Tints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-light-face-glow.md) - [Cream Highlighter Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cream-highlighter-sticks.md) - [Long-Lasting Liquid Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-glow-stayn.md) - [Illuminating Skincare Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bio-radiant-glassy-highlighter-balm.md)
