I'm a big fan of multitasking products as I love their versatility. Plus they're great for saving space and cash. This neat little Bobbie Brown compact can be used as a lip and cheek colour. It would be ideal for traveling, as its cream formula means you could apply it with your fingertip. The soft powder pink shade would be perfect for pale skin because it is not too overpowering!

4. Nars Manhunt

Nars Manhunt Price: $24.00 at sephora.com

Do you think that there are no red lipsticks for fair skin? Oh yes there are! I love red lipstick, and while I'm not quite vampire pale, I'm definitely on the pale side of the spectrum. The trick is to avoid reds that are either too deep or orangey. This colour though, it's cherry red and beautiful! It's from Nars and you'll be shocked at how stunning red looks on you!

5. Kat Von D Painted Love in Rosary

Kat Von D Painted Love in Rosary Price: $19.00 at sephora.com

If you do love the gothic look, and have dark hair to contrast with your pale skin, then this intense dark red would look stunning. Pale girls can wear strong colours, but it does require the personality and the attitude to match. So if you like to make an impact, Rosary could be just the lipstick for you.

6. Buxom Lip Tarnish in Extortion

Buxom Lip Tarnish in Extortion Price: $18.00 at sephora.com

Don't you just love the wonderful names that manufacturers come up with for their lipsticks, even if they don't have anything to do with the product! If you're a pale-skinned blonde, this candy pink lipstain could be the one for you. It won't overpower you or your pale colouring, but will give you that hint of color that you need.

7. Sephora Shimmer Harmony Gloss Palette

Sephora Shimmer Harmony Gloss Palette Price: $12.00 at sephora.com

If you're really uncertain about finding lipsticks to suit pale skin, and don't want to try out every tester in store, then purchasing a palette is an excellent way of experimenting. By trial and error, you can find out which shades suit you. The added advantage of this set is that it contains a blending bowl so that you can mix shades together. So a shade that might be too strong on its own could look perfect when toned down with a paler shade.

Obviously, you have to experiment to find lipsticks to suit pale skin, as with any other coloring. There are other factors to take into account; a blonde will not suit the same shades as a brunette, even if both are pale. With practice you will learn to recognise whether a shade will look right or wrong on you. Have you found a range that does marvellous lipsticks for fair skin?
