Pale skin? You are the cause of envy for many.
They think you can wear anything in terms of makeup. Little do they know that make up for people with pale skin can be tricky, really tricky! One must be really careful in selecting the tones and shades of makeup. This is largely because your face will look very heavy even with a slight change in tone. Wrong makeup will make you look dry and dull. It is extremely important to choose the right makeup for the right skin colour and texture. To make things easier for you, we have put together a post with makeup tips for pale skin beauties.
It’s best to use a tinted moisturizer on pale skin. Now by tinted, we mean a shade darker than your complexion. Do not mistake tinted for being so dark that it gives you a clay coloured complexion. It should look natural.
Blushes are a boon for people with pale skin. It is best advised to use both blush and bronzer. These add warmth to the glow of your face. You can choose from pinks, lavender and corals too but remember to use very little tint. The more blush you use, the more porcelain-like your skin will look.
Go crazy with all the bright lip colours. Bright lipsticks can bring out the lips of the porcelain complexions really well. They help enhance your complexion. You can choose shades from bright complex peaches to fuschia to bright pinks.
Let your eyes be the centre of attraction. You can easily shift focus from your pale skin colour by highlighting your eyes well. Well done eye makeup can totally divert one’s attention. Try shimmery eye shadows, purples and every other bold colour. If you’re not much into eye shadows, eyeliners too would work great. Try black, grey or even brown eye liners.
If you are blessed with coloured eyes, bronzed eye shadows are just what you need. Bronzed eye shadows look very beautiful on pale skinned women especially those with green or grey eyes. If you have brown eyes, then a dark golden shade can do the trick for you.
Try and add more colours to your eyes. Simple black liner with a bronze touch in form of a highlighting eye shadow on the top lid gives a fresh look. It gives a perfect youthful glow to pale skin tones.
The most important thing when it comes to makeup for pale skin is to make the skin look perfect. Tanned look sure does the trick but again only when done in moderation. It’s best to apply a pearl highlighter or sheer and agold tinted blusher or bronzer to the exposed parts of arms and legs, neck, and also the highlighting bones of the face.
This is because the fairer the skin, the fuller it looks. It kind of makes you look fat. So using the golden tint or bronzed shades work well for pale complexions as they make features look sharper. Make sure you apply bronzer to the collar bone, down the shin bone and also down the front portion of your hands.
