What kind of makeup would look good on my skin?

Taylor: What kind of makeup would look good on my skin?
I’m looking for a new style of makeup for myself. I have pale skin, a lot of freckles, and blueish-grey eyes. I’m starting to think the makeup i wear is too dark… Usually I just wear black eyeliner and black mascara,sometimes eyeshadow. Do you have any suggestions or tips on what kind of makeup would look good on my skin?

I have light skin too and I used to wear really dark makeup too. I found that just switching to brown, grey, or even blue eyeliner tones it down a little. I’d also try a lighter mascara. I have blue eyes too and i think brown eyeshadow brings my eyes the best (just don’t go too dark).

Answer by happyjoe
a brown liner and brownish gold shadow, will make your eyes pop against your skin without being too dark. pink lips or a little bit of rosy blush will “warm up” your light skin tone.

Answer by solly
Try using gold around your eyes. it looks great on everyone.

Try antique gold eyeshadow and pencil in the same colour on the inner rim. You can use a chocolate eyeshadow and apply it close to the bottom lashes like a blended eyelinder and to the outer third of the eye, then blue or black eyeliner.

Subtle but very pretty on fair skin.

wear a blue or brown eye liner so it wont look so dark and a brown mascara for the same dark reason for eye shadow id say pink , blue , silver, and white colors that are metallic but not dark but still noticeable look really good

try using a brown/black mascara and eyeliner. it will look a lot less dramatic and more natural. and to make your eyes pop more use a white liner or white/light eye shadow in the tear duct of your eye and blend it in a bit.. I hope this helps a bit. 🙂

I agree, black eyeliner and mascara is too dark for your coloring.

I’d try silver eyeshadow–nothing too glittery, just a soft shimmer. I think it would be really pretty with your eyes and skin tone. Use blue or grey eyeliner–black is too harsh.

For blush, decide whether pink or peach looks better–then use a light shade designed for someone with fair skin.

Lipgloss can be clear or with a slight tint in either pink or peach, matching with your blush. Keep the focus on your eyes.

dont wear any makeup, or wear just a little, like some masacara, or just eyeliner. you have pretty eyes, so you dont really need much makeup 🙂

Answer by mahoe89
i also have pale skin and lighter eyes
and i use brown or gray eyeliner because black is too harsh against fair skin
i also use neutrogena healthy volume mascara in brown
for blush, i use either a peach or a rosey color
and eyeshadow, if i wear any, i tend to lean towards a taupe or lightbrown to enhance my eye color. hope it works :]

Answer by iloveboys
I do think black is too dark. a purple/plum type of eyeshadow and eyeliner works great with people youre eyecolor/skin color. ive seen it on serveral people and i know plum seems weird but a dark plum will work

Foundation/ Bronzer.- Cover girl has great foundation -$ 12 a case. Sometimes it does give you the Shiny look, but it will be fine with a little bit of Bronzer over the top of it. I recommend www.eyeslipsface.com . The Bronzer this is great, but you have to find it to match your skin tone. Everything is 1 dollar! Best Bronzer I have ever used.

Lip gloss/ Chastick- Lip gloss has an oil in it that promotes cold sores and chaped lips, no matter what kind you buy. My advise is to always apply an even layer of chapsick before you apply the lip gloss, that way the lipgloss won’t be touching any skin and will keep your lips shiny without cold sores. (any kind of lip gloss is acceptable, my favorite is anything from eyeslipsface.com.)

Mascara- Maybelline Collassal Volume Express Mascara (The kind in the yellow bottle -$ 3 at drugstores) is amazing, it doesn’t clump your lashes and doesn’t leave you with racoon eyes when you go to take it off. You can get this mascara either waterproof or non-water proof.

Eyeliner- I like Revlon eyeliner pencil. It isn’t waterproof though, but it does stay on until you take it off, and best of all, it doesn’t smudge when you rub your eyes. -$ 8 at drugstores.

Eyeshadow- Covergirl has great eyeshadow, it is my favorite drugstore brand. -$ 6 a palette. It comes with every color you will need to pull off the look you are trying to go for.

Target has great brushes.

Hope I helped 😀

i have pale skin and sometimes the same colored eyes, they change though, haha. I also used to wear thick black eyeliner and I still like it, but I do different things now too. Anyways, What my family and friends say look good is when i wear black eyeliner on the bottom of my eyes, and bronze and gold eye shadows on my eyelids, with just mascara. If you feel funky then you can go buy purple colored eye liner from hot topic, and put that on your top lid, but black on your bottom. With your skin and eyes its a very good idea so make your eye lashes pop because you’re eyes are probably pretty. If you don’t already have it I would suggest Define-a-lash mascara by mabelline. I don’t have long eye lashes, but this makes them look really long, no joke, well as long as you use it right. Theres a lenthening one and a volume one, I would suggest both because if you were them at the same time, they are flawless! But don’t get waterproof because its hard to get off, and it gets clumpy and I’ve lost a lot of eyelashes to it!
good luck!

You can try using a different color mascara like maybe dark brown instead of black. Also instead of using black eyeliner you can try a color eyeliner either blue to bring out the blue in your eyes or even brown usually is a good compliment for blue. Also check out MakeUpProducts.com they have makeup tips on there that may help you.
