What types of makeup fit people with pale skin?

Question

I have REALLY pale skin just dead pale..no pink. What should I do about my makeup? Use dark or light?

Answer 1

I have extremely pale porcelain skin also. I have found that a light pink or peach color on the apples of your cheeks and then use a large dusting brush with the same blush on your forehead, chin and nose lightly will give a nice dewey glow to light skin. Do not overdo it! Use more on your cheeks than the other areas. A light dusting will suffice. Depending on your eye and haircolor should determinine what color eyeshadow you should wear. Stick will cool or nuetral tones for pale skin. On most mint green or lilac looks nice. Use black eyeliner very lightly on the top lid only and follow with brown/black mascara. To finish put on lip gloss or a lipstick that is only a shade different than your natural lipcolor.

Answer 2

you need a litle bit of color but depends how you want to look. If you want a natural look use the fair or light makeup if you want to look more tanned use the medium but apply more and make sure you blend evenly. Blush same thing for a more natural look use a peach or pink color or a bronzer for a more sun tanned look. Don't do the pale white face with bright red lipstick that's just a no-no.

Answer 3

I am also a pale skinned red head. I generally only wear a powder, no liquid foundation or blush(I do have the pink undertones) but I have found that Cover Girl powder in shade 225, buff beige works great, its too light and its not too dark!! Good luck!!
