Wear makeup that suits you. Makeup can change your look for better or for worse, depending on how you use it. Here's a general routine to get you started:
- Pick a shade of foundation that matches your skin as closely as possible. If you're allowed to test samples, rub a dab into your throat - if the makeup becomes invisible against your skin even under bright light, it's a good match.
- Wear eye makeup. Choose a light, fresh eyeshadow (or eye-gel if you're older) that flatters your coloring, and apply a thin line of eyeliner over your upper lashes. (You can also apply eyeliner on your lower lashes for an extra-dramatic look). Finish off with mascara.
- Find a shade of blush that doesn't stand out too much on your skin, and use a bit on each cheek. Remember that the goal is to look naturally flushed, not like you put on makeup.
- Use bronzer sparingly. A little can go a long way. Use a light shade and dust it along your cheekbones for a naturally tanned glow.
- Wear a tinted lip balm or gloss. Or, if you choose to wear lipstick, keep it looking fresh with a light coat of gloss on top of it.
- If you're not sure how to apply makeup or what might look good on you, schedule a consultation at a department store or beauty supply store. These consultations are often free, and a trained makeup artist can help you figure out what suits your coloring.
