Wet n Wild released a Rainbow Highlighter a few months ago and the Internet went absolutely buck wild over it. Apparently Rainbow Brite lives on in our hearts and that promise we made ourselves growing up about being just like her is becoming a reality courtesy the highlighter options popping up lately. Green, purple, what’s next?

How are we feeling about the unusual highlighting shades popping up lately?

Are they a go for you?

If I’m honest, I can’t do ’em. I mean, I personally struggle with gold highlighter because I tend to play Where’s Waldo when trying to locate my cheekbones to apply highlighter.
