Essence has a wide range of pigments in different saturations: almost white, yellowish, natural beige, peach, pink and blue, as well as luxurious gold and silver tones. You need to know some of the nuances of color combinations - for example, olive and yellowish skin perfect refresh peach tone, but will not decorate pinkish. For Tan the best choice would be golden glow.

But for swarthy girls with a tanned face, this is a great option.
Reviews
German brand highlighters are regularly ranked among the best in their category. They are presented in dozens of reviews of beauty bloggers. Such products have become for many of them budget favorites, winning the battle with similar products from expensive prestigious brands. Customers note high durability, excellent shading with fine shimmer, a variety of shapes and colors. A huge plus is the affordable price. Of the minor shortcomings, it should be noted the quickly erasable print on the package and the rather fragile plastic from which it is made. Essence highlighters are one of the pearls of the mass market, with almost perfect quality and at an affordable price.
