YouTube beauty babe Raye Boyce [1] (also known as ItsMyRayeRaye [2]) is the absolute queen of budget makeup — from $6 foundation recommendations [3] to stunning full-face tutorials with only dollar-store finds [4], Raye makes inexpensive products look like a million bucks. So it's no surprise that she prioritized affordability when collaborating on a palette with Bh Cosmetics [5], which is set to launch in mid-November for for $23 [6]. But what is surprising is how luxe the products look at such a great price; after seeing swatches of the three highlighters and 15 shadows, many of Raye's followers even mistook it for Fenty Beauty!
Specifically, followers couldn't believe that Raye's golden-hued highlighter, Moonlight, isn't an exact dupe of Fenty Beauty's fan-favorite Trophy Wife. [7] That is, not until Raye offered a side-by-side swatch of the two formulas, showcasing the uniquely iridescent white-gold hue of her Bh Cosmetics offering. While both highlighters have a definite golden warmth to them, Raye's affordable option has an unmistakable "moonlit" quality to it, and it's only one of three highlighters in the jam-packed palette!
While giving Instagram followers a sneak peek of the upcoming release, Raye also took the time to swatch her highlighters on a darker complexion [8] to showcase how they flatter people of all skin tones. Naturally, this got everybody even more excited for the holiday launch, when Raye will also release an affordable nine-piece brush set ($25) with the brand. Count us in!
