A: It is important to choose the right shade of foundation and concealer. When you test foundation, it's important to test it on your jawline. If it blends in and you can't tell that it's there, then the foundation is a match. Your concealer should be slightly (and only slighty) lighter than your skin tone. If you have oily skin, you can apply a a powder that matches your skintone afterwards to mattify your face and prevent shine. As a side note, before you do any of this, moisturize! This is a very important step. It helps the foundation blend better, and serves as a base for your makeup. If I can recommend a moisturizer that is affordable (and a personal favourite!), try Garnier Skin Naturals Fresh Moisturizer (with SPF 15, I think). It's a really great base for your makeup, and feels really fresh and clean. It's also a good idea for pale girls to use a little blusher. I would suggest blushes in pink shades, and not peach shades. Pinks tend to look a lot more natural on us pale-skinned ladies! Also, the pop of colour really freshens your face. For your eyes, if you want to keep it basic, clean, and natural, I would go for browns, and if you're not afraid of a little shimmer, golds and bronzes. I would avoid going for the three-shade eyeshadow look (lid, crease, browbone) because that can look too made-up. Just use one shade across your entire lid, and if you want, a shade in the crease. Make sure to blend them together well! When it comes to eyeliner, black looks way too harsh against pale skin. Go for medium to dark browns instead. For a natural eyeliner look, all you need is your eyeliner and a Q-tip. Apply the eyeliner right along your top lashline, as close to the lashes as you can get. Also, as you have probably noticed, your eyelashes look lighter towards the inner eye, so remember to thin out your eyeliner towards that area. Next, make a few dashes of eyeliner along your bottom lashline, starting from your outer corner and moving towards the middle of your eye. I would advise against going past the middle, because if you line the bottom lashline heavily, your eyes appear smaller. Finally, smudge the eyeliner on the top and the bottom with a Q-tip, or your finger. This tends looks a lot more natural than keeping a harsh line. A little mascara is always a good idea too, especially if you don't feel like using eyeshadow or eyeliner. Go for brown mascara, or black/brown mascara. Also, curling your eyelashes is a great way to open up your eyes. Lastly, a little lipgloss. As with your blushes, stick with pink tinted glosses. Gloss is fast and easy, and looks great on any girl! I hope this helped, and good luck! :)
