There is no denying that the blush and highlighter trend has influenced our Instagram feeds over the past few years. And considering that flawless and radiant skin is officially a year-round fad in the face makeup category, highlighter and blush are becoming as essential as lipstick and eye-liner. But with the endless number of options out there, how to choose the best blush and highlighter shade for your skin? To make it easier, Limelite Salon and Spa is here with a blog. In this blog, you will learn about factors to consider when choosing the best blush and highlighter for your skin tone. And feel free to book an appointment for expert consultation.
How to choose the best blush for your skin tone?
Best Blush for Fair Skin Tone
If you are someone with porcelain, light, or fair skin, cool-toned pink shades or a light coral shade will beautify your complexion and add a natural-looking flush to your skin. Peach blushes for fair skin are another perfect match for those with a slightly lighter complexion.
Best Blush for Medium Skin Tone
If you have a medium complexion, a lot of cool-toned and warm-toned blushes will go well with your skin tone. You can try different blushes for dusky skin from the light cool pink blushes to the warm nude shades. To find the best blush for wheatish skin tone, consider your undertone and pick a colour that does not make you look washed out and sallow.
Best Blush for Dark Skin Tone
From subtle shades to bold and vibrant colours, those with deeper skin tones can excel in different shades of blushes with ease. Ensure to pick a pigmented blush with rich hues to flatter your skin.
How to choose the right highlighter for your skin tone?
A general thumb rule for highlighter colour selection is to go about two shades lighter than your own skin tone. Let’s now dive deep into how to pick the perfect highlighter for your skin tone.
Highlighter for Fair Skin Tones
Iridescent shades work their best on fair skin tones. If you are someone with pale to light skin, go for highlighters with a pearlescent, icy silver, or champagne sheen. Fair skin has a pink undertone; Limelite Salon and Spa makeup artists suggest that it’s best to avoid deep shades like bronze and copper as they may look loud on fair skin. Rather, go ahead with shades that have a bit more of a cool pink finish. Pink hues work best for pale to light skin and even light to medium skin. Those with pale skin tone can also opt for highlighters with pink and lilac tones, which will help brighten their natural skin colour and intensify the overall look.
Highlighter for Medium and Olive Skin Tones
If you have a medium skin tone, keep your complexion from looking too frosty by opting for a highlighter with a gold-bronze or copper undertone. Iridescent shades might also work but look for colours that have more warmth to them. Stay away from pink hues as they might come across as harsh against your warm complexion. Limelite Salon face makeup experts quote that olive skin tone has more of a warm undertone and highlighters with yellow and gold go pretty well with it. Highlighters with a gold and rose gold finish also brightens up the face beautifully and pulls off the overall face makeup.
Highlighter for Deep Skin Tones
Finding the right highlighter for deep skin tones is not as easy as it is for fair and medium skin tones. The most common shades on shelves (ivory and lilac hues, for example) tend to leave darker skin looking washed out rather than luminous, which is totally against what we’re going for here. Rich variations of rose gold, copper, or bronze look best on deep skin tones. Avoid too much shimmer, as those can often make you look ashy. Stay away from glittering and frosty shades like pink as they may come across as grey instead of lit-from-within.
