I dont want to look like Casper!?

Question

Ok so I could be positive and say I'm pale and interesting, when really I just look washed out. I want to invest in a really good quality bronzing powder from MAC or somewhere, I have my credit card out for an online spree, but I just wanted a bit of advice first. Any brands with specific product names that compliment pale skin would be much appreciated!

Answer 1

you dont need to spend a lot of money just go to k-mart or rite-aid there is a bronzer from Almay (Very good, I always get compliments on my skin due to that bronzer) and is at the most $10. Hope it helps you out.

Answer 2

ok, I'm albino (not really but pretty white) and I have dark dark hair, so I totally know how you feel. Unfortunately, if you use a dark bronzer, it will make you look either orange or yellow b/c your so pale. so What I suggest is to first figure out if your undertone is more yellow, pink or whatever from a makeup counter consultant, then start using one of those lotions with a gradual bronze, this way whatever color your face is, your body will match. I would personally recommend using bare essentials because the make up brings out the natural beauty of your skin and they have this dark red blush/ bronzer that works AMAZINGLY, you just have to be careful not to put too much on b/c it will make you look like a wanna be native American, but the color works really well on light skin if done correctly. and all of the makeup has an spf of 15, so we can take care of our skin from all those nasty wrinkles and age spots. Other than that, the best advice that I can give to you is to just embrace the whiteness! It makes us different. Way back when it would've made us look like royalty! And look at people like Catharine Zeta-Jones and Reese Witherspoon, they're both pale but they are beautiful! Just don't try changing your look b/c all of your friends look a certain way or that's what the media tells us we should look like! God Bless and good luck! OH, and the Bare essentials starter kit costs like 60 bucks, just incase you want to try it!

Answer 3

The best thing to do is to go to a department store, and let the ladies that work in the make up booths to put some on so you can find the right color for you - what you COULD do, (which is what I did b/c I'm pale too) is get two different colors. Foundation, get a little darker than your skin tone, put it on evenly, then put on powder that matches your skin color. What it does is, the darker foundation puts color on your face, and then the lighter powder evens it out so it gives your face a little color without it looking fake.

Answer 4

I would check out EverydayMinerals.com you can get a free m/up kit, it includes blush, you just pay S&H. I would try the Apple or the Daydream blush they are that perfect color. I just got mine today & they are beautiful. It goes on perfect not to light or dark. You can even use the Daydream under the Apple for a little extra color. Philosophy has the best bronzer I have ever used yet! No orange in it all.

Answer 6

yeah i wouldnt be so concerned on ur looks, instead strive to be more beautiful under the surface, being tan isnt going to change ppls lives or even make living easier, yeah u might look better to ppl as far as looks, but u are being nothing but a puppet, i am sure u are fine the way u are, dont be influenced by society, instead try to influence society by self improvement of ones inner self, only then will the world improve, u know???

Answer 7

My best advise is to go to a cosmetics counter first and get a consultation on the shades/textures of foundations that will suit what you are looking for, and once you have an idea, then do your shopping online.

Answer 8

Go to the places where they spray a tanner maybe 30 to 40 bucks

Answer 9

I would go to a MAC counter because they are all makeup artists and you can explain to them what you're looking for and they can test some products on your skin and you can see which you like best.

Good luck!
