Best Highlighter Shades for Your Skin Tone

The right highlighter shade can make your glow look natural and radiant — the wrong one can look ashy or harsh. The secret is matching your highlighter to your skin tone. Here's how to choose the perfect highlighter shade for your skin tone, plus the best picks from MimoTique.

How to Match Highlighter to Your Skin Tone

  • Fair skin: choose cool champagne, pearl and icy tones for a soft, natural glow.
  • Medium skin: golden, peachy and rose-gold tones complement warm undertones beautifully.
  • Deep skin: rich gold, bronze and amber tones give a stunning, luminous glow.

As a rule, match the warmth of the highlighter to the warmth of your skin — cool tones for fair, warm tones for deep.
