Rose gold hues have transcended trends; the blush-metallic shades are timeless and universally flattering. It's a shade that can lean warm and cool, simultaneously making it a shade perfect for most undertones and aesthetics. It's more skin-like than a classic yellow gold and much less striking than silver, but irresistible nonetheless. We love it on the eyes and lips, but it truly shines as a highlighter.
Whether you love a natural, subtle highlight or need to shimmer and shine like no other, these highlighters will help you get the perfect glow. Powders, liquid, multi-sticks, and more — we curated our favorite rose gold highlighters, so all you have to do is shop these irresistible options.
