Highlighter is one of the fastest ways to bring life to your makeup look—it adds dimension, catches the light, and makes your skin look healthy and radiant. But with so many shades out there, how do you know which one will make you glow and which one might wash you out?
At Bonjour Babe Beauty, we’ve made it easy with our Highlighter Sticks and available in flattering shades like Pink Lights , Lavender Lights, Beige Lights , and Bronze Lights. Let’s break down how to pick your perfect match.
Why the Right Highlighter Shade Matters
Choosing a highlighter shade that complements your skin tone makes all the difference between a natural glow and a noticeable streak. The goal is to enhance your features with a light-reflecting color that blends seamlessly with your undertone.
Best Highlighter Shades for Every Skin Tone
Fair Skin Tones
Look for shades with champagne, pearl, or soft pink tones. These shades add radiance without overwhelming your complexion.
Best Bonjour Babe Picks:
- Pink Lights – Soft pink glow perfect for porcelain to light skin.
- Beige Lights – Neutral champagne that flatters fair undertones.
Medium Skin Tones
Warm gold, peach, and rose-gold highlighters add warmth and enhance your natural glow.
Best Bonjour Babe Picks:
- Beige Lights – Works beautifully on golden undertones.
- Bronze Lights – Gives a sun-kissed sheen for medium to olive skin.
Deep Skin Tones
Rich gold, bronze, and copper highlighters create a radiant, luminous finish that pops on deeper skin.
Best Bonjour Babe Picks:
- Bronze Lights – Gorgeous warm bronze for a high-impact glow.
- Lavender Lights – Adds a cool, ethereal shimmer for unique contrast.
Where to Apply Highlighter for Maximum Glow
- Cheekbones – Sweep upward toward the temples.
- Brow Bone – Adds lift and definition.
- Cupid’s Bow – Creates the illusion of fuller lips.
- Bridge of the Nose – Slims and defines the nose.
- Inner Corners of Eyes – Brightens and opens up the eyes.
Pro Tips for Choosing & Wearing Highlighter
- Match Undertones – Warm undertones shine in gold/bronze shades, cool undertones glow in champagne or pink.
- Consider the Occasion – Subtle shades for daytime, bolder shimmer for evening.
- Blend Well – Highlighter should melt into your skin, not sit on top.
- Mix & Layer – Combine shades for a custom glow that shifts with the light.
Why Bonjour Babe Beauty Highlighters Stand Out
- Creamy, Blendable Formula – No chalky finish, just a smooth, seamless glow.
- Buildable Intensity – Go from subtle sheen to blinding glam.
- Clean & Cruelty-Free – Skin-loving ingredients without the nasties.
- Travel-Friendly Sticks – Perfect for on-the-go touch-ups.
