How do i choose the right make up (eyeshadow, lipstick, foundation/powder)?

I am fair skinned and have an almost white complexion, i have blue eyes and long, light brown curly hair could you please recommend the correct make-up i could use for my skin colouring?How do i choose the right make up (eyeshadow, lipstick, foundation/powder)?
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.How do i choose the right make up (eyeshadow, lipstick, foundation/powder)?
you would look good with a peach colored blush and maybe a little foundation with the eyes i would go with the almay color coordinated color sceam
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.
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
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!
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 love to go to Mary Kay . Com and click on ';Virtual Make-Over'; if you pick out the matching skin color and eye color it will help you find the matching colors. And if you dont want to use Mary Kay make-up I like to print it off and go to the store and find matching colors with the cheaper brands!





Oh and it also helps you apply it on correctly! Hope this helps!
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
i use maybelline foundation at moment! use the everfresh one thats good for fair skin! found bourjois eye shadows are pretty good too, i have blue eyes, and find white pinks n browns look quite good! lancome juicy tubes are defo best lipgloss around u should defo purchase sum of that!!! although a use that makeup at moment am goin to buy some of the new jemma kidd range think mite try it out. dont kno if it any good tho yet! but they sell it at boots u mite want to check it out! x x
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!!
the best thing to do is to go into a department store and ask them to try it for you. try foundation on your jaw line, not the back of your hand as it's not the same shade.


get a free makeover... most big shops do it.


with make up you have to experiment


this is the fun part.
you don't want anything too dark, maybe a light coloured pinkish blusher, black mascara and a bit of lip gloss. i'd go to a beauty counter say in Boots and ask them what they'd recommend too. More is less with make up though and as your fair i wouldn't over do it.
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.

Different occasion =Different make up


At night dark makeup, during day light one
Firstly you have to check which colour season you belong to 鈥?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.
first you see which eyeshadow one looks good on you then you see which lip stick, and all that until you find the one that match your color.
Mineral makeup gives god coverage and you don't have to match up your exact skin colour as they are so subtle and natural looking.
