If you are unhappy with your skin color try enhancing the color by changing the accent colors you are using. Eye color can play a huge part in the coloring of your skin. Avoid bright unnatural colors like Electric Blue — leave it in the 80’s where it belongs! Another product to avoid when trying to look natural is liquid face bronzers. These are great if you live in Hollywood, but not for everyday life. Bronzers tend to give you that fake Orange tan look. This may be appropriate in some settings, but doesn’t look especially natural. If you are going to use a bronzer be sure it is not too shiny or darker than your skin would naturally tan in the summer.
Lip color should be as close to your natural tone as possible. Avoid using a darker lip-liner and a light filler color. No matter who you are this is a DON’T! It just does not look natural and it does not make your lips fuller. It just makes them more noticeable and not in a good way. Find a color that matches your actual lip color or a shade darker. You can line your lips with the same color, but don’t go too dark! Peach and Pink colors seem to work well on all fair and neutral skin tones while berry colors for darker skin tones will tend to look the most natural.

I am dark-haired with dark brown eyes and pale skin and brown mascara doesn’t work for me even for daytime make up - I always use the black one and it looks quite natural!
