Make Up Tips For Fair Skin

Makeup trends change every season, with winter around the corner we share some of the major makeup trends. The focus is on red lips with soft smoky eyes shaded with silver, gold or charcoal. Dramatic lashes and some lip gloss. Softer shades with a metallic base and shimmering compact are becoming popular. The idea is to enhance your makeup, giving it a classy feel. While doing your makeup you need to consider few factors like the occasion, the outfit and your skin tone. If any of these factors don’t compliment your makeup it will look like a disaster.

We share some makeup tips for those with a fair skin tone.

1) The first step for this type of skin tone is to cover dark circles because they show up badly on a fair skin tone. Also cover blemishes, use a foundation as a base for covering all the imperfections. Remember to use a foundation which matches perfectly with the shade of your skin. Now dab your face with a pale face powder.

2) Use a pale pink and apricot blush for the cheeks. Avoid brown undertones, they may make your skin look dirty. Dark shades of blushers go well with darker skin tones, they don’t compliment light coloured skin.

3) Use cool tones of eyeshadow such as shell, grey, navy, slate and lighter brown tones teamed with black mascara to make them stand out. Fill your eyes with kohl pencil to finish the look.

4) The lipstick should be of soft pastel shades, do not use dark shades of lipstick since it will look too loud on fair skin. Do not make the mistake of applying a lip liner that is darker than the lipstick shade, always use a shade that matches perfectly with the lipstick.
