Dear Beauty and fashion lovers,
I admit it, I have lighter skin especially in the colder winter months and sometimes its hard for me to grasp the fact that I have to tone down darker eye makeup. Why? Because it will make you look even paler. How do you tone down your darker makeup that you love?I'll tell you how. Here are some ideas for your favorite darker makeup trends and how to work them in the winter.
Eyeliner: Take a pale color like white or a vanilla shade and apply it along your waterline. Go back forth with this pale color a couple times until you have have a stronger pigmentation. Next take your favorite dark eyeliner pencil and go over the pale shade a couple times as well. Take a Q-tip and blend in. Tada!
Lips: Taking your favorite lip balm , mine's Burt's Bees, apply generously over your lips. Next take your dark lip color and apply with feathered strokes. Apply a shiny gloss over top and blend the lips in. Your favorite dark lip stick should look lighter and easier to wear.
Cheeks: Of course buying a lighter blush would work, but if you have a tight budget this tip will help you. Taking a fluffy brush, swirl it around in your blush for about a second. Tap off excess and smile big while you apply. Still too dark? Take a skin tone colored powder and apply just as you applied the blush.
Face: Your foundation too dark? Try moisturizing before applying and if nothing else works, go buy the correct shade from the store. Its smart to have two kinds of the same foundation, one for summer and the other for winter, that way you won't have to think about it when the seasons change.
I hope you found my tips helpful and that it you always remember that its whats on the inside that counts! Have an amazing day!
