Raise your hands if you belong to the race of pale faces! It is needless to repeat that choosing the right make up for really pale skin or fair skin is a problem. Most of the time we are stuck with doll faces. The best make up shades are always suited for the more olive skinned people.
However, that does not mean that we pale faces have to sit and use pinks and pastel shades forever. So buckle up and let us take a ride!
The Fantastic Land of the Base Make Up
Thing is, you can wear bright colors at any point of your existence. You just need to know how. For starters, keep it transparent. Using shades, which are really opaque, do not suit pale skins.
In addition, it should be good to remember now that you need to know the base of your make-up first. Moreover, yes, while choosing a shade for the base; let that back of the hand experiment go. As far as I recall, you do not wear make-up on the back of the hand, so how could you think that what suits your hand will suit your face?
The new way is to try it on your jaw and blend it well.
A few tips:
- Do not forget to cleanse your face, neck, and apply a good moisturizer before you start that make up.
- Use that brush more rather than using a lot of that color. The idea is to blend it well.
- Whatever, your base is, powder or liquid, make sure that less is used and more is blended.
- Use the base according to your look. If a dirty look is what you want, choose a base, which darkens your skin, not makes it whiter.
Work on the Features
Yes ladies, highlight whatever your best features are. However, do not go over the board and do not do all of it at the same time. This means that if you have great eyes, highlight them, but leave the rest simple, but pretty all the same. Use shades, which are violet, set in a blue or green tone, or mix two colors together.
Use bright shades for your lips as well. Classic red is always a good choice. So is something with a shimmery appearance and of course make gel blushes your best friend.
If you have hair, which is dark, using black mascara will be ideal. However, if you have light hair, it has to be brown.
