What would be good makeup choices for pale skin?

I am pretty much the second whitest girl in my school, and i see girls that are whiter than, or the same skin color, as me and they can pull of wearing eyeliner- although i can’t. No matter what color i use, i ALWAYS end up looking gothic…Could it be how my skin is? And i got a color palette that consists of: White, Tan, Light Brown, Medium Brown, Pale Pink, Lighter Tan, Darker Brown, Mauve, Teal, Navy Blue, Silver, and Grey. I’m starting to like the smokey eye look, but i don’t want it to be so dramatic that every stares at me like “what happened?” You know? And i’ve even tried purple eyeliner, and a soft brown, and i put it on lightly but it still doesn’t work- although black mascara is the only mascara that looks good on me b/c my eyelashes are SUPER long and i don’t want to be too “made up” and my foundation color is alabaster if that helps(it’s the whitest color out there, or that’s what i’m told)- Help please???

Answer #1

i would choose ivory from covergirl…..and some rosey blush would be nice

Answer #2

Maybe darker base would help.

Answer #3

neutral colors. If you want natrual eye liner dont use black, find a light brown/honey color. Line your lash line. Define the top and only about 1/4 of the bottom lash twords the outside of your eye. In the corners of your eyes do a shimmer white eyeshadow. Along with your brow line, which is right under the high arch of your eyebrows. If you need to reshape your eye brows pluck or wax them upwards a bit so they sit right on your brow bone. Don’t over do the foundation because it will make you look fake. APPLY FOUNDATION FIRST!!! Use Covergirl loose powder , the reason for this brand and style is because it dusts on lightly, doesnt clog pores or cause break outs, had euclyptis oil to help skin, and blends so well. Use a Kabuki brush and brush powder in arc’s around your forehead, nose, eyes cheeks, jawline, chin and blend downward to your neck. If you start using liquid foundations and cover up you start getting that “caked on” look instead of natural. Use medium brown mascara, or specially enhanced mascara that enhances your specific eye color to really go the extra mile to enhance your natural features.

Answer #4

Try Ivroy 105 for the loose powder by Covergirl. If that is too light, try Classic Ivory 110.

For eyeshadow use Exact eyelights eye brightning eyeshadow by cover girl, it gives you multiple shades that blend for your eyes.

For lips stick to a neutral pink. Dont go too pastel, but stay away from neons and dark colors, for they will make your lips stand out, but the rest of your features washed out. Try and make your eyes your focal point, It will help brightin your entire look

Answer #5

Try using cover up, the same color as you skin and adding pink blush that way it adds colors and also focus on your eyes with color as well. You can also do a darker shade or cover up but then you would have to do it over the neck too, so you have that color balance.

Answer #6

maybe a rosy blush for the cheeks, some black eyeliner on the top lid and masquera only on ur top lashes. ur eyes will pop and stand out soo much :)

Answer #7

earth and natural tones. when you choose to countour your cheeck bones pick bronzy tones and light rosy blush tones. think nude colors for lipsticks and lip glosses. if you wanna go a lil outta the box choose purple and violet colors.. don’t let the make up over power your beauty, either way your beautiful :) good luck !!

Answer #8

I have a light skin tone and I use either brown, blue or a light purple eyeshadow with a little glitter with black eyeliner and a light brown blush. It looks very nice, I hope this helped! (:

Answer #9

Oh and I use mascara to make my eyelashes look fuller and bigger.
