Cover girl has a new chart out to help you decide what the best shades are for foundation,concealor and blush. They all coordinate with each other. It really help me, and the best I have ever found for my complexion in 20 years.
As far as eyes, I wouldnt use anything too dark . It has been said that pale browns/pinks look best on blue eyes, and that is what I use.

I am very fair as well, i stay out of the sun and use good sun block. I have blue/green eyes and light Blond hair - i found Christian Dior's liquid foundation has a nice light colour which blends and covers really well - expensive but lasts for at less six months because of the quality, worth every penny. Stick to light colours and neutral lipsticks which are a few shades darker then your natural complexion for every day makeup or a lip-gloss (darker for evening). I good blusher can help - again be careful to not go to dark - test in the shop if you are in the pink or orange range as this can look wrong if you go for the incorrect shade.
A good everyday style for eye shadow is a pearl base colour on the lid (for the sparkle mostly) and a small amount of black (or dark colour to match outfit of the day) just along the edge near the lashes - only go to the centre of the eye. Remember less is more - if you apply it well the natural look will get plenty of complements. Mascara to finish it off - i have dark lashes so i wear clear mascara which helps control the shape and cleans off any fallen powder from putting the makeup on. Good luck - experiment and enjoy.

firstly its all about the undertones of your skin, you will be either a cool tone or a warm tone you can generally tell this by the clothes that you wear which ones really suit you and make you look good! IE is it that blue jumper or your yellow jacket cool colours contain blues and pink and warm colours contains yellow IE black is cool brown is warm! Now make up:
Foundation: test 3 or 4 different ones on your face and the one that almost disappears into your skin is the correct colour.
Eyeshadow: you cant go wrong with a browns and beige's if you want stronger colours this is where your cool and warm tones come into play!
Cheeks: again depends on cool or warm so either Pink or Peach but to be honest you cant go wrong with a good bronzer (body shop is a good one)
Lips: cool or warm again!
Always wear Black mascara
Translucent Pressed powder (No7 pressed light is a good one)
I hope this helps, Ive worked on many faces in my job, and these guidelines usually work for me in my job! good Luck

Golds, browns bronze and tans/ peaches would be best for your eye color. Do you have a redder undertone or blueish undertone? Reddish is warm skin tone, Blueish is Cool skin tone, and then there is neutral. You need to figure out witch one you are so you can pick out the best color of foundations and powders suitable for your skin. Nudes and light pinks look good on fair skinned lips. Hope that helps.

I am fair skinned and have blue eyes, and I tend to go for smoky grey eyes and clear lipgloss. I always pick the lightest foundation colour that is made, and then slap a bit of bronzer on!

Firstly you have to check which colour season you belong to – Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter. This is because different seasons will fit different shades of a same colour. One book will be helpful :- Colour Me Beautiful. It teaches you how to see which season you belong to by the colour of your skin, eyes and hair and thus what shades would fit you for clothing, lipstick, foundation, etc.

listent the best advice you could get is if you go to a cosmetics shop or a beauty salon and ask. the best is to go to a shop where they sell cosmetics line and ask them what suits your colour more. i would say that you need a light coloured foundation and a little darker powder on top. then the lipsticks and eyeshadows depends on what you are trying to give out to the people. like if you wanna play it simple go for lighter colurs with mascara but you might want to give off a vampy look. ... then you wear red lipstick and smoky eyes. it depends...i hope i helped you with my answer ...xxx

Actually Mary Kay has a website that shows you a bunch of different looks and you could check out the models who have your hair color and complexion. Its very helpful. Look under Color 101

I would suggest asking a friend/work colleague who is of a similar age and colouring for her advice (assuming you like the way she does her make up). Don't go to a beauty counter in department store for a make up lesson like I did. The make up was heavy, I looked older and it was so thick I needed a spatula to scrape it off!!
