Achieving the perfect glam comes down to knowing your skin tone and what makeup looks compliment it best. If your skin is very fair, being mindful of both protecting it from the sun, while also avoiding orange tones or products that can make your skin appear washed out, is crucial. Check out these tips to start looking your best!
Tip 1: Use Pink Tones
Using pink tones with very fair skin makes the skin pop! A pink blush, eyeshadow or even a pink lipstick is a great compliment to pearl colored skin without overpowering it.

Tip 2: Apply SPF before foundation
Applying SPF is a must for everyone, but especially if you have very fair skin. It’s very important to keep your skin protected from the sun at all times even when you’re wearing makeup. Apply SPF before your foundation, same as you would your moisturizer, and then go about your makeup application.

Tip 3: Contour with cool-toned bronzers
If you aren’t sure what bronzer to use on your fair skin, try something that has a cool undertone. Warm undertones can appear orange on fair skin which you will want to avoid. Cool undertones help to sculpt the face which will help to give your face more definition.

Tip 4: Highlight with a shimmering white shadow
Subtle hints can help to accentuate fair skin in all the right ways. As opposed to a high contrasting dark shadow, consider using a shimmering white shadow to add subtle pop to your look.
