Because I saw the maybelline stick roll on ones and I saw a pinkish one or a light goldish one.... would the pinkish one fit me if I use the Revlon natural tan foundation?

I personally like pink highlighters on my skin, but I'm more cool toned so it doesn't make it look weird. Golden ones look amazing on warm toned skin, but I find on cool toned they can make the rest of the face look more pale and washed out

I was also going to say, you say you are light but your foundation is on the deeper medium side. If your face is light but you're self tanning your body, and you're trying to match your face to your body then I would choose a highlighter based on your foundation shade. So, I would also suggest the gold one. The pink one, more than likely has a white base which has a tendency to look ashy on tan skintones.

Yeah I'd go with the goldish one.

I think the whole light and dark spectrum can be based on race cause it's different for other groups which makes it confusing.
On the spectrum as a whole you're more "medium"

I noticed within like Indian women light or fair skin would be around an NC30.

Whereas within the black community light skin is considered around NC43ish. I know Rihanna is considered lightskin and that's her shade. Beyonce is considered light and she's an NW40ish.
Within a group of very fair skin people most would consider me dark even though I'm actually medium.
So, I guess the whole light, medium, dark varies among different groups.

So, as a reference you're within the medium range.
Specifically, medium dark.
Gold would be a better fit.
