The golden rules of make-up for fair skin

A fresh and immaculate complexion

A flawless complexion is the secret of successful fair skin makeup . Choose a foundation in the exact color of your skin tone. Go for fluid and light textures . Fair skins are often thin skins, it would be a shame to "plaster" them with textures that cover too much.

Is your foundation the thick type? Mix it with a dose of Pure Pulp Neo for a BB cream finish unreleased!

Our trick to enhance the milky glow of your complexion :apply a few touches of a foundation a half tone lighter on your forehead, the tip of your nose and your chin. If necessary, conceal your small flaws locally with a concealer. To avoid sickly complexion syndrome, finish with a touch of rosy or coral blush on your cheekbones.

A soft and sparkling look

To make up your eyes, the key word for clear skin is:delicacy! We advise you to forget too bright eyeshadow shades , especially if your eyes are marked by age or dark circles. Opt for nude tones , rather dull if you have fine lines. Gold, beige and camel will suit all eye and hair colors.

Be careful with black mascara:it hardens the features of a pale face. Turn to more natural colors , like brown… or even transparent mascara!

Keep a light hand on the eyebrow pencil:you must avoid too frank demarcations . Finally, don't forget to illuminate the underside of your eyebrow arches with a highlighter.

A discreet and luscious mouth

The iconic Marilyn-style red lipstick is not really ideal for fair skin . It accentuates its pallor and may even look “old” if it is too dark.

The only red you can indulge yourself with:a pretty orange-red , perfect for the summer! The rest of the time, the discreet shades of pink remain timeless.

If you want to emphasize your mouth, the gloss is your best ally. Layer it over your lipstick:it will instantly sublimate it. You don't have to fall for "wet" finishes. There are glosses with a satin shine which will be the most beautiful effect, especially in case of wrinkles around the mouth.

What hair color for fair skin?

Fair-skinned individuals naturally have red, blond, or chestnut hair. These are therefore safe bets if you want to change your mind. But the choice of a hair color in case of fair skin also depends on the undertones of the skin tone.

  • Your skin's undertones are cool ? Ice blonde, platinum, ash and icy brown are for you. Watch out for raven black:we like its retro side, but it can quickly make you look bad.
  • Your skin's undertones are warm ? Choose golden blondes, strawberry blondes and honey browns. For a flamboyant mane, dare copper or mahogany! Make a cross on the colorings that pull on the gray.

Tanning fair skin:best practices

How long to tan with fair skin?

The ability of fair skin to tan is determined by its phototype. If you don't know it, now is the time to find yours!

  • Phototype 1:porcelain complexion, red hair, blue/green eyes, numerous freckles.
  • Phototype 2:very fair skin, blond hair, light eyes, frequent freckles.
  • Phototype 3:fair skin, brown hair, light-colored eyes, rare freckles.
  • Phototype 4:light complexion and eyes, shades of blond, no freckles.

The higher the number of your phototype, the easier it will be for you to tan your fair skin . The task is more difficult for phototypes 1 and 2, who unfortunately cannot tan without getting sunburned. For others, speed up your fair skin tan by taking carotenoid food supplements .

Outstanding sun protection

Tan with clear skin requires precautions. Your skin produces very little melanin, its anti-UV shield. To compensate and limit the risk of damage to your cells, always apply sunscreen with an index of 50 before going out or playing lizards on the beach.

After exposure , fair skin needs to be refreshed and repaired. Apply a generous dose of cream to your face and body. Don't forget to moisturize your eye area, which is vulnerable to aging. Our Eye Magic is precisely designed to take care of it on a daily basis and limit the premature relaxation of the tissues .
