Re: Too pale...help! Virtual make over
I'm around an NC15 at my tannest, and for reference I have black hair and dark brown eyes. Bronzers have never worked for me... every single one I've used has turned orange on me. I've found the right shades of blushes make all the difference in the world.
I tend to like brighter colors used with a light hand. My favorites right now are Dollymix, a pretty cool pink, and Foolish Me, a peach color. They look scary bright in the pan, but with a 187 brush they go on so pretty. If I try to use a lighter blush, like Blooming, I look sick because there's no color in my face.
I've also taken to using Strobe Liquid as a highlight on my cheeks. I put it on under my foundation and it comes through with just enough of a sparkle for everyday use. I've heard you can mix it with your foundation or moisturizer for a porcelain skin look, but I've never done it. If I want something a little more noticable, I'll use Vanilla or Your Ladyship pigment.
Lipstick wise, I always go with neutrals. I'm a huge fan of Viva Glam V l/s and l/g, or Myth, or Hue.
