Essence Be My Sunlight Pure Nude Highlighter Review & Swatches
Be My Sunlight
Essence Be My Sunlight Pure Nude Highlighter ($4.99 for 0.23 oz.) is a soft, golden peach with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation paired with a soft, slightly dusty consistency that had a bit of excess powder that kicked up in the pan, but it ended up applying quite well to bare skin. I worried the powder was going to be drier or go on unevenly on my cheeks, but the highlighter applied evenly, blended out easily along the edges, and did not appear dry/dusty on. It lasted nicely for eight hours on me before it started to show signs of fading.

I love how the swatch looks. Could this be used on eyelids?
Just depends on your comfort level on using it on your eyes as I’m not certain that the brand states if it is safe for eyes.
My oh my, great dupe for MAC Whisper Of Gilt at just $4.50! It’s a beauty, and so is its price!
A lovely golden peach shade. Fantastic for the price.
Did it emphasize texture/pores ?
Nope! If it did, I would definitely mention that 🙂
I love this Highlighter. I have been using this daily for a few months and it is my new favorite! It can be applied for a subtle glow or you can build it to be blinding. It is a great color for deeper skin tones. The original shade from this brand is too light for my skin but this one is perfection!
Lovely highlighter! These have been looking really good, and the price point is great.
