Can you imagine your makeup kit without a highlighter in it? Nope? Us neither. Just a single swipe of this product is enough to glam up any makeup look and take things from drab to fab in an instant.

But finding a highlighter that matches your skin tone can be a real task. But don’t worry, we’ve got your back. Here’s a simple guide to help you choose the highlighter for your skin tone…

 

Fair skin tone

Fair skin tone

If you have a fair skin tone, pearlescent, silvery and icy shades look beautiful on you. Lighter, cool-toned highlighters give your face a naturally radiant look. Whereas using a highlighter that’s too dark or has red undertones will leave a dark cast wherever you apply it.

 

Medium skin tone

Medium skin tone

For medium skin tones, it’s best to avoid a highlighter that can leave your skin looking frosty. Instead, pick a highlighter with warm, bronzier shades. Anything from champagne to a warm golden shade will look stunning on your skin tone.

 

Deep skin tone

Deep skin tone

For deeper skin tones, look for shades with warm or copper tones for that lit-from-within glow. Shades that are slightly red or orange can look extremely flattering on your skin tone. Avoid using icy, pearly shades as they can appear ashy on your skin.
