Choosing the right makeup for fair skin can be a challenge. Every year bold and bright makeup trends overpower the fair skinned wearer. Follow these great tips for a look that compliments your petal perfect skin.
Begin at the Bottom and Work Your Way up
Once you have applied a good moisturizer, start dealing with the dark circles that most fair skinned folk exhibit. Choose a concealer that is just a shade lighter than the foundation you have chosen. Or you can try a special tinted concealer that may look a bit yellow or green. As odd as it seems, these tinted concealers work together with the dark circles, cancelling out the unwanted darkness.
Laying a Good Foundation
Choose a foundation color that picks up your basic coloring. Work with your natural skin color. A trip to the makeup counter is important. You will spend a lot of money trying out different colors you pick up at the grocery store. Best to ask the experts on this one. Once you know the correct color, experiment with different brands, choosing one that fits your needs and budget.
Highlighting Cheeks and Lids
Sometimes, fair skinned women overdo it on the cheeks and lids. This is not the place on your face to choose a vibrant palette. A petal pink on the cheeks is enough to hint at blushing health. Lids should be a soft and natural champagne pink for day. Fair skinned ladies look great with smoky eyes for evening wear.
Go Lightly on the Lips
Again, it is easy to overdo it when you are fair. Don’t be tempted into rich reds or corals. Go for a soft shade of rose or coral lip liner and lipstick. For a soft and natural look consider a rosy lip gloss.
Fair skin is beautiful. Tread lightly and you will be pleased with the result.
