When it comes to highlighting our features, we always turn to shimmery gold and copper hues. Lately however, we’ve been reaching out to an unusual shade… Purple! Before you write us off as crazy, hear us out.

Highlighters in this colour have a magical ability to transform dull skin into that of a luminescent Goddess. Since purple tones are known to cancel out the sallowness in your complexion, these highlighters perk up skin like no other. Intrigued to try it out? Check out these product recommendations.
