1. Find a Mascara That Works Wonders
One of the best makeup tips for blondes is to find a mascara that works wonders for you. Most blondes have very pale eyelashes so they need all of the help a mascara can offer. There are hundreds of different mascara formulas that you can try and no one formula is right for everyone. Some of us need a mascara that will add volume while others need one that is lengthening. If you want some extra power for your lashes, try using a lash primer first.
Mascara is a great way to give blondes that bombshell look. When choosing a mascara, make sure to look for one that is specifically designed for blondes. These mascaras are usually lighter in color and less likely to clump. If you want a more dramatic look, use a lash primer before applying the mascara. This will help to add volume and length to your lashes. When applying mascara, use a light hand and start at the base of your lashes and wiggle the wand up to the tips of your lashes. This will help to separate and define your lashes. Finally, always remember to remove your mascara before going to bed to avoid clumping and smudging.
2. Help Your Eyebrows out
Just like with eyelashes, many blondes have pale eyebrows. Eyebrows are very important. They help to frame your eyes and add shape to your face. Having them professionally tinted is a great option for blondes and it saves you from using a pencil every day. The goal is to go a shade darker than your hair.
Eyebrow tinting is a great way to give your eyebrows a boost and frame your face. It's a semi-permanent process that adds pigment to the brow hairs, making them appear darker and fuller. The tint should be a shade darker than your hair color to look natural. It's a great way to save time and hassle from having to use a brow pencil every day. Eyebrow tinting can last for several weeks and is a great way to enhance your natural beauty.
Frequently asked questions
Blondes often look amazing in soft, natural shades like taupe, champagne, and rose. But hey, if you love bold colors, rock them! It's all about what makes you feel fabulous.
For eye makeup, blonde hair pairs well with neutral tones like beige and brown. A bit of shimmer can really make your eyes pop. And don't forget your mascara; it’s a game-changer!
Brown eyeliner is a go-to for many blondes because it's softer than black and complements their features. But if you love black or colorful liners, go for it! There are no rules in makeup.
To nail that natural glam look, focus on glowing skin, a touch of blush, and soft, defined eyes. Add a bit of highlighter on the cheekbones and you're golden. Keep everything balanced and not too heavy.
If you have pale skin, avoid super dark shades, as they might look too harsh. Stick to lighter, more natural tones and always remember to blend well. A peachy blush can add a lovely warmth to your complexion.
3. Pay Attention to Your Eye Color
Blondes have a variety of different eye colors. The color of their eyes gives them many different options in what color of eye makeup they can use. Don’t be afraid to play around and experiment. Color is something that blondes need desperately. They don’t have a lot of contrast between their hair and their face, so adding color with makeup is important.
Blondes have the opportunity to make a bold statement with their eye makeup. Whether they have blue, green, brown, or hazel eyes, there are many options for creating a gorgeous look. For those with blue eyes, shades of purple and grey will make the eyes pop. Brown eyes can be enhanced with shades of brown, copper, and gold. Green eyes look great with shades of green, blue, and terracotta. Hazel eyes are a combination of brown and green, and can be enhanced with shades of purple, pink, and blue.
When choosing eye makeup, it is important to consider the shape of the eyes. For those with round eyes, dark colors on the outside corners will make the eyes appear larger. For those with downturned eyes, lighter shades should be used on the outside corners to make the eyes appear lifted. When it comes to applying eyeshadow, blending is key. Start with a light shade on the lid, and then use a darker shade in the crease to create depth.
4. Stay Away from Yellow Based Lipstick
Lipstick is another way that a blonde can add color to her face. However, it is important that a blonde stays away from lipsticks with a yellow base. This is not going to be flattering as her hair is a shade of yellow, as much as she may dislike that term. It is better to stick to lipsticks that are blue based or have a brown tint. Yellow lipsticks will not look right on a blonde and most people can spot that quickly.
5. Play with Lipsticks
Other than the tip above, most blondes have the advantage of being able to wear many different shades of lipstick. Pinks are a very natural choice for blondes. If you are in doubt, think about Barbie and how she always wore what we have come to think of as Barbie pink lipstick. Blondes can also wear reds quite easily. Corals and nudes are an option but need to be handled a bit more carefully.

6. Remember Neutrals Flatter Everyone
If you are in doubt on what color to wear as your eye shadow choice, remember you always have neutrals. More than that, neutrals are a wonderful choice for blondes. While neutrals are good for everyone, they look especially good on blondes. Neutrals are also a wide variety to choose from so you are not limited on color choices. You can go with browns or greys.
7. Figure out if Your Skin is Warm or Cool
Knowing if your skin is warm or cool can help you make better makeup choices anyway, but it seems especially important for a blonde. It seems that with a blonde, everything can kind of blend together and the wrong choice in makeup can really stand out. If you are unsure if you are of a warm or cool skin tone, read up on the subject. Another option is to consult an expert, such as a makeup artist. You could even try consulting someone that works for a makeup counter in a department store.
At times, figuring out the correct makeup for blondes can be confusing. But using these tips can make it much easier. Are there any makeup tips for blondes that you can share?
