Foundation

It makes sense that our first makeup tip for fair skin would start with foundation. If you choose the wrong foundation nothing else you do is going to look right. Try to find a neutral color that doesn’t have a strong undertone. Test a couple of different colors out on your face before choosing one that is best. If you need help don’t be afraid to ask one of the consultants behind the counter for advice.

Eye Shadow

If you are fair skinned, you aren’t going to want to go for a neutral look. Beige and cream colored eye shadows will only wipe you out. Instead try brighter colors. Blues and greens look great on light eyes. Rich browns, purples, and greys look good with darker eyes.

UPD:

For a striking contrast that flatters your fair skin, venture into the metallics or shimmer range – think silver, gold, or champagne tones to give your eyes a playful sparkle. When you’re feeling bold, a swipe of electric blue or a smudge of emerald across the lash line can elevate your look from simple to sensational. Just remember, blending is key to a flawless finish. For a softer edge, use a blending brush to diffuse brighter shades into the crease, creating a beautiful gradation that enhances your features without overwhelming them.

Eyeliner

Don’t opt for light eyeliner. It’s not going to look good. Instead go for a darker color. One way to do this is to choose eyeliner that is a shade or two darker than your eye shadow.

Mascara

It’s amazing what a little mascara can do for the eyes. Black is by far the best color to choose. Going with a brown won’t give your eyes the same pop. Follow this makeup tip for fair skin to really make your eyes stand out.

Blush

One very important makeup tip for fair skin is always wear blush. Blush is so important because it gives the skin a little color. You don’t have to apply the blush real heavy. Just give your cheeks a little soft color.

Famous Quotes

To give oneself earnestly to the duties due to men, and, while respecting spiritual beings, to keep aloof from them, may be called wisdom.

Confucius

Bronzer

Bronzer can give your fair skin a nice glow. The trick to putting on bronzer is to apply to your cheek bones, on your chin, nose, and corners of your forehead.

Lip Color

If you have light skin you may ask about makeup tip for fair skin when choosing the right lip color. Stay away from neutral colors. They will make you look more like the living dead than anything else. Personally I love the way bright reds look on pale skin.

Nail Color

The same rule applies for nail color. Go with beautiful reds and corals over light colors that blend in with your skin. Bolder colors are show to pop and get you noticed.

I hope you have found these makeup tips for fair skin useful. I look forward to hearing how my advice has helped you. Also if you have any other beauty tips please share them.

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

So... dark eye makeup and very colourful lips? With bronzer, blush, -and- foundation? It seems... a bit much. Just because we're fair doesn't mean we need to fake everything with makeup. Even more so, a lot of the fair-skinned population consists of gingers/redheads. Like myself. Earlier, in a post about makeup for redheads, it asks for light, neutral colours. Kind of goes against this entire post, right? I don't know. I think rather than heavy-ing up on the bold and brilliant makeups, fair, creamy skin should be as natural as possible. Although the world thinks tan is better, pale skin is beautiful, definitely healthier, and I think it looks gorgeous without caking on makeup. Just my opinion~

Im a teenage red head fair skin, thanks for the tips guys! Ha ha. X

I so agree with the 2nd point! I have very fair skin and super dark eyes. And dark brown, dark grey and purple are the only eyeshadows that look great on me. I tried more neutral colors - unfortunately, I look like I've just woken up. Not the best look, definitely. So, yay for dark brown eyeshadow for dark brown eyes and pale skin!

Oops...I also wanted to say that I am a fair skinned redhead and I wear both black liner and mascara all the time....I think it looks great...don't let stereotypes make you afraid to try something "out of the redhead box" lol....just my thoughts :)

Can't wait for the videos!!! I am so uncoordinated when it comes to this !! Lol....hurry and post :)

I am so very pale, to me, a lot of the women in these pictures are what I would consider "tan" :P or at least with golden undertones. Not me, just white with pinkish-red undertones. :/
