When highlighters first popped on the beauty scene, there wasn't much diversity in the makeup trend. Most formulas were full of iridescent pearls and pinks and were not appropriate for deeper skin tones. All that has changed. Now, no matter what shade of chocolate your complexion is, there are highlighters that pop against your melanin-rich skin without looking ashy.

Which shades of highlighters look best on dark skin? Warm gold or rose gold highlighters that have a warm finish are ideal. Watch out for cool colors and silvers, which will go on white and won't look much like a highlight at all. Ahead, we've picked 11 shades that look great on deep complexions so you can glow with confidence.
