Highlighters for Pale Skin – How to Choose Your Perfect Match?

When searching for  highlighters for pale skin, keep in mind the following points to find your perfect match:

• Always look for highlighters that are 1-2 tones lighter than your skin. It helps to give an instant brightening effect.
• Opt for highlighters that have a subtle sheen rather than going for glittery products.
• For pale skin, always choose the highlighters with an icy silver, champagne, or pearlescent sheen. These highlighters complement undertones of your skin and provide dimension to your face.
• Avoid choosing the shades with warm undertones. Instead, go for highlighter with a pink-peach finish.
• When buying liquid illuminators, those with pink tones works perfectly for pale skin. Avoid buying bronze and copper shades.

• Try and invest in high-end products rather than looking for the cheaper versions. The high-end highlighters have a subtle sheen to them which is often replaced by glitters in the cheaper dupes.
• For sensitive skins, stay away from highlighters with artificial fragrance and parabens. Rather go for a dermatologically tested formula.
• It is important to keep your skin type in mind while buying a highlighter. Liquid highlighters are best for dry skins where-as powder highlighters work wonders for oily and combination skin types.
