Unless you\u2019ve been living under a rock, you\u2019d know that highlighting has been the definitive beauty trend of 2017. (And 2016, and 2015\u2026 Well, you get our drift).<\/p>

There is just something incredibly transformative about highlighting your face. Whether you\u2019re using a powder, cream or liquid formula, a good highlighter lends a beautiful dimension to your face structure and can make you look irresistibly healthy and glowy<\/a>. <\/p>

While several highlighters have achieved cult beauty product status (like The Balm\u2019s Mary Lou Manizer, Becca\u2019s Opal), this does not mean they\u2019re suited for everyone - in particular, for all skin tones. We cannot recall the number of times we've tried a highly-raved highlighter with high hopes, only to find it look rather lacklustre on our warmer, yellow undertone Asian skin<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>

BEST HIGHLIGHT TIP: CHOOSE ONE TWO SHADES LIGHTER THAN YOUR SKIN<\/span> <\/h3>

The biggest mistake women make when purchasing highlight is to assume they\u2019ll all look the same on them.\u00a0\u201cThe best way to find a highlighter that\u2019s right for you is to look at your own skintone<\/a>,\" advises acclaimed celebrity makeup artist, Dana Delaney. \"Look for a highlight shade that\u2019s two shades lighter than your skin.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>

This achieves the most natural and flattering highlight for your complexion that looks like part of your skin (as opposed to a galactic stripe that sits harshly on your cheekbone). Sounds very much like selecting an undereye concealer <\/a>shade, no?<\/p>

In the gallery above, we share our best expert makeup tips for picking the right highlighter for your skintone, along with recommended picks of our favourite highlighters! Browse through and find the perfect holy grail highlighter to put your best face forward.\u00a0<\/p>
