12 Highlighters That Are Fabulously Flattering On Indian Skin Tones

12 Highlighters That Are Fabulously Flattering On Indian Skin Tones

Growing up, the only highlighter I was aware of was the one I used in school to mark the whole book as “important.” This served no purpose except to confuse me on nights before exams because I absolutely had no idea what to skip. When I got out of my school/college phase, I was introduced to another kind of highlighter and this time, it was for the face. Unlike school though, you couldn’t highlight everything. Apparently, it’s too much and you look like a shiny disco ball. Fine!

Once I got into it, there was no turning back. Turns out, I am a highlighter hoarder. I don’t have just your basic golden highlighter – the one that’s universally flattering on Indian skin tones- but also purples and pinks. And I can certainly carry off those shades, it also brings out the fact that I have an undying love for highlighters. In fact, while I write this article, I’m simultaneously looking for another highlighter to buy. I know I have a problem.

While hunting for a new highlighter, I came across people being concerned about the shade of highlighter they should buy for their skin tone (?) I didn’t know problems like these existed in the highlighter world, but apparently, they do. And hence, the idea to write this piece was born.
