About this deal

These are affordable, I mean how often do we find great makeup under €5 these days? And they have great performance. The shades are a bit standard perhaps, but these last well, give a great deal of a glass like shine and do not look super obvious on the skin. This highlighter is available in two shades that I think can appeal to many people with many different skin tones. When I bought these I was a bit skeptical as it just looked like another champagne and rose gold highlighter but these truly are something else and at only €3.49 a pop they are worth a trial if you were looking for a new more affordable highlighter. What do these highlighters have to offer? As mentioned, I wasn’t sure of what these would be like. I haven’t found many highlighters by Essence I like and so these were a bit of a gamble. Are these powdery, glittery messes? Or are they lovely smooth gel like highlighters? I am happy to report they are the latter.

I had the hardest time capturing these in all their glowy in pictures, but these are my best attempts. On my hand you can first see the rose shade and on the right is the champagne shade. For sure I thought I would love the champagne one on my more as the rose seemed a bit dark and as if it had a cast. But both do not leave any cast at all. These are highlighters with a transparent, luminous base that just have a difference in undertone: the champagne has a warm undertone the rose has a cool undertone. This doesn’t really show up until you put them on your skin though. And both are beautiful: if you have a warm undertone I would recommend opting for the champagne. If you have a cool undertone I would opt for the rose. What does this highlighter look like on the skin? Here you can see both highlighters on my cheeks. At the top is the champagne shade. Bottom is the rose shade. I prefer the rose on me as it clashes a little less and it is a bit more unique in my personal makeup collection. The look of the champagne shade is pretty too but I have other things like it in my collection. If you mix both shades you get a bit of a gold/pinky/ peach vibe so if you have both they are great for mixing as well. Should you buy the Essence Gimme Glow highlighters There is no weird cast, the glow is spot on not too much and not too little and I think they can work for a multitude of skin tones because of it. These new Essence highligthers are a hit in my book and if you want a no frills-gets the job done kind of highlighter these are definitely worth it. You can buy the Essence Gimme Glow highlighter here *.

We all know that Essence can do some good makeup but they can be hit and miss. So whenever they release a new collection, the question remains the same: is it any good? In the new Spring/ Summer 2023 collection I was happy to find some outstanding makeup products at an affordable price point. Case in point? The new Essence Gimme Glow highlighters. This is my review. You shouldn’t buy anything, but if you were looking for a new highlighter and have access to these, then I think the new Essence Gimme Glow highlighters are a great one to look into.
