Pale Skinned Beauties

Pale skin is often attributed to genetics. It’s also indicative of someone without sun damage, which generally means healthy skin. There are a few tricks to applying makeup for those with very pale skin that will avoid a washed out look.

To brighten up: Avoid bronzer, and opt for a burst of color on your cheeks with a bit of blush. Think of your fair complexion like a blank canvas.

Easy over Eyes: Use pastel colors up to your brow bone to draw attention to your eyes. Avoid dark colored eye shadows which will make your skin look more pale.

Hair color: Talk to your stylist about a hair color that works naturally well with your paler skin tone. In general, avoiding stark, dark colors is best.

Don’t over-shimmer: Light reflecting powders will work against you here, making your skin appear unreal and faded. Choose a light powder foundation instead for a touch of makeup that’s not overly apparent.
