Pastel tones are great to use in your study notebooks and planners- as the colors are soft and the text is easily readable beneath. There are so many options of colors available, so lets compare a few of what I consider are the best pastel highlighters.

1. Bic Pastel Highlighters Review

The BIC Brite Liner Grip Pastel Highlighter Set comes with 2 of each color- so 12 pens but only 6 colors. The chisel tip is firm, there is a nice grip area to hold the pen and the cap fits with a soft snick. The 6 colors are unique beautiful pastel colors and the marker barrel color matches the ink color perfectly. I loved this set!!

The Zebra Pen Mildliner Double Ended Highlighters are amazing- the set I have was purchased at Sams club, I’ve linked a similar one above. Each marker has a chisel tip AND a broad marker tip too. The chisel tip is firm and the color options are beautiful and endless!

3. Pastel Pilot Frixion Highlighters (Erasable)

SHOP HERE 👉🏽 https://amzn.to/455Ra9p

The PILOT FriXion Light Pastel Collection Erasable 5-Pack pens are erasable!! That itself is a game changer. The markers have an eraser thing on the bottom and it removes the ink with friction. The erasing part it really nice, but the yellow color was very fluorescent like and not pastel at all. Also the markers felt less juicier than the others.

4. Crayola Erasable Highlighters Pastel Party

The Crayola Take Note Erasable Highlighters Pastel Party, 6 Count highlighters impressed me the most! The Pastel Party colorway has soft colors that are truly pastel. No neons here. The 6 cute pastel highlighters colors complement each other wonderfully and the clear tip erases or lifts off the color ink from the page.

5. Pastel Highlighters Amazon Erasable

SHOP HERE 👉🏽 https://amzn.to/3DP2vi6

The Amazon Basics Erasable Highlighters, Assorted Colors, 12-Pack comes in a non-descript brown box packaging, and though it says 12 pack there are only 6 colors. The image does show only 6 colors, I missed that while purchasing. The chisel tip of these highlighters is soft and bendy, and the 6 colors are not unique- the pinks are too similar. There is a clear tip to erase mistakes, but overall these were underwhelming.

I tested all of these pastel highlighters in my Archer and Olive Notebooks(which have thicker pages), as well as this simple Mint Green Planner (which has thinner pages)

Overall, the Bic Highlighters and the Take Note Crayola Highlighters had very similar colors of the pastel highlighters and were clear winners for me. Both my middle schoolers will be using the Bic Highlighters, while I try out the Crayola ones- I’ve never used erasable highlighters before! The Zebra Mildliners are of course amazing, but if you buy one set- you might end up collecting them all!
