5 Makeup Tricks For Pale-Skinned People

By Anvi Mehta

Pale skin is a type of skin which is the most susceptible to rashes, irritations and redness. Since the skin is very light, pale-skinned people need different makeup tips and ideas to follow.

The normal makeup does not necessarily suit this skin type as even a little bit of colour can look too heavy on such skin. Wrong makeup may also make the skin look dry. To avoid this use makeup that suits the skin colour and texture.

5 Makeup Tricks For Pale-Skinned People

There are some necessary do's and don'ts to be followed while applying makeup for pale skin.

If you have pale skin and don't know how to get your makeup right, we have some useful tips that'll make you look lively and gorgeous:

Use Colours - Fair and pale skin looks beautiful with bright and dark coloured cosmetics. Always use vivid colours for your makeup. Fair skin people should use bright lip colours like red, pinks and mauves. Light makeup will make the skin look dull. Bright colours on the nails will also look good on you. The colours make the pale skin look lively. Avoid using nude and light colours especially for the lips.

Find The Right Foundation - An essential makeup tip for pale skin is to use a suitable foundation. Foundations give a smooth base to the skin and helps make the skin tone even. The wrong foundation shade can make the skin look dark or grey and the colour on your face will not sync with the complexion of the rest of the body. Therefore, use a tester before buying a foundation. Check for the effect of the foundation when in bright sunlight. The foundation should suit the skin in every light.

Eyes - Eyes are the most important part of the face. Another makeup tip that people with pale skin can use is enhancing the eyes with dark mascara and eyeliner. The dark mascara will accentuate the eye lashes and make the eyes look bolder. For eye shadows, stick to light colours. Avoid using dark eye shadows as it can make you look too flashy sometimes. People with pale skin should try to keep the eye makeup as simple as possible. Just kajal, eyeliner and mascara are enough for a bold and glamorous look.

Bronze And Brown - People with a pale skin tone look glamorous and gorgeous with bronze makeup. The bronze look with blonde hair is perfect for pale skin. To use bronze makeup use a foundation that has a bronze tinge to it. Use eye shadow with the bronze and brown colour. You may also use bronze shimmer on your cheeks. Do not overdo with the bronze. Match the bronze with a maroon or red coloured lipstick. The whole makeup would go well with a bronze, brown or golden coloured dresses.

Let Your Cheeks Blush - Never forget to use a blush on your cheeks. Your makeup will never be complete without a blush. Pale skin needs a little blush to make the skin look glowing and beautiful. Pink or lavender shades of blush will complement this skin tone perfectly.
