The Craziest Highlighter Colors You Can Buy

When Jeffree Star released his Onyx Ice highlighter, many makeup fans stopped and asked why — the black highlighter is the opposite of the shade a highlighter normally is. However, it also keeps selling out. That considered, maybe Jeffree Star is onto something — colorful highlighters might be more useful and popular in the beauty realm than you'd think. Consider how popular rainbow highlighter is, who's to say that colorful highlighters wouldn't be?

These highlighters are fun for using as actual highlighters, but you could totally wear them on other parts of your face, too. Because of their bright tones, these could easily work as eyeshadows and for the more creative among us, the limits of these products are endless.

So whether you're just looking to spice up your strobing game with something a little bit different or you just love an alternative kind of product, this list is perfect for your perusal of some of the crazier shades of highlighter out there. Although it may be easier to just use your own stock of eyeshadows to create a similar look to these highlighters, but where's the fun in that? If you need a new type of product to invest your money into, look no further.
