Best make up for blondes

Answer 1

The best make-up for blondes is natural, just like with any other hair colour.

Try starting with some foundation to match your tone, skin type and the look you are aiming at;

so, powder minerals for oily skin or a natural matte finish, liquids for dry skin or a baby soft sheen, and if you're lucky enough to have pretty perfect skin then you can choose whichever... or none! (Or maybe some tinted moisturiser)

Next you need to get the blush or bronzing right. Seeing as natural make-up tends to look best, go with what your skin naturally does in the sun. If you burn choose a pretty peachy pink, and if you tan, then choose a light golden shimmer. Dust either one where your face catches the light, so over your cheekbones, temples and forehead.

Finish off with some translucent powder to set and matte the look, and if you want to add some shimmer, try a highlighter over your cheekbones.

Now for the eyes. As you are blonde, it's best to stay away from really dark colours, like blacks, for everyday looks. Experiment with light browns, peaches, bronzes, golds (these can look particularly nice) soft dove greys and skin coloured shimmers. Dust these lightly over your eyelids, and add definition by working a slightly darker shade in to the crease in your eyelid, then highlight just below the brow and on the inside of your eyes nearest the bridge of your nose to open the eyes up.

If you would like to add eyeliner, then choose a medium to dark grey, or dark brown, depending on your eyeshadow, and feather a little along the top and not very much on the bottom.

Always finish the look with mascara in dark brown or black.

For lips you should take into account how much you have done to the eyes. A natural daytime look should focus either on the eyes or lips, not both.

So, if you have focused on the eyes, then keep it simple with a slick of Vaseline, or subtle gloss.

If you choose to emphasise your lips, then start with a lipliner, and gently feather, blending as you go. Next, use the matching lipstick to fill out the look, and make sure everything is blended in. Dab a little gloss for a shiny shimmery look, or leave it for matte.

Alternatively, you could pick out a vibrant gloss colour and use that.
