Should your cheek highlight match your brow highlight?

I didn't know exactly where to post this question.

 

I love Nars Albatross for a cheek and brow highlight. It looks great on my NC20 skin. Problem is, it doesn't look so great as a brow highlight if the rest of my eye makeup is either extra sparkly or cooler toned. In that instance, MAC Shroom is a better color for the brow being that it is less shimmery and more neutral rather than golden.

 

The dilemma is that Shroom is not so flattering as a cheek highlight for me. It appears quite cool toned on my cheeks and looks a bit odd.

 

Should the brow and cheek highlights always match? I've tried Shroom on the brow and Albatross on the cheek and while it doesn't look bad, it doesn't look as great as when I use Albatross for both.

 

Thanks!

I don't think they need to match. I usually use MAC lightscapade for my cheek, and I use all sorts of things for my eye highlight!
