Complexion

Since I am fair and cool toned, you will see lots of pinky shades here. A not very well known industry secret for pale girls is that we don't have natural bronze in our faces. If you're like me, you don't tan, you burn. That means for a sunkissed loo...

The lightest shade for the lancôme foundation is one of my favorites, it does pull slightly warm but i use my concealer to even it out!

Clinique has a great blush shade range, one of my fave pale girl tips is to layer blush shades instead of bronzer (because we don’t tan, we burn!!) so having a few shades of blush in your makeup bag is always a good idea.

Sleepy girl is that girl for cool toned skin. It is such a good mauve shade, and it isn't overly pigmented so it blends into a natural makeup look so easily. I like to use this in place of bronzer.

I like to keep it simple with eyes so I don't overpower my face, but everyone is different!

This is my favorite mascara, they have a brown shade which I love because black can be a bit harsh on paler faces, and they also have a burgundy for times when I want to enhance my green eyes. I love the waterproof because it actually keeps my natura...

Hourglass has a great brown eyeliner that works great for tightlining and adding a little pop to the eyes - especially because I personally find that eyeshadow can be a bit overpowering for my face.

Lips

Again, I keep it relatively simple with lips - you can't go wrong with a classic blurred lip!
