Contour for pale skin?

Post by girliegirl »

What do you guys use? I am having trouble find a good color for my pale skin. I've tried so many and most have been too dark. I want some light and natural looking... what would you guys recommend? Thanks in advance! :tu:

L.A. Colors Pressed Powder in the shade Beige usually works for me in the winter time. (My skin is pretty pale in the winter) Hope this helps. :)

My go to is NYX taupe. Ive tried so many but I always go back to that. Ive heard BH has a new contour palette that is supposedly really good for fair skin!

I just use a concealer that's lighter than my original skin tone :D

Discontinued, but I think it still might be available at PRO Stores: MAC Strada blush
Illamasqua Hollow is also nice, very subtle
KVD Shade and Light palette

I'm about an NW10-15.

I LOVE the matte bronzer by MAC. I'm practically a piece of paper and this bronzer is amazing!!!!

I would suggest the Too Faced Chocolate Soleil in Milk Chocolate, it is buildable and incredibly hard to get wrong :) Im a medium skin tone but I love it because its incredibly subtle and i kind of just go crazy swirling it everywhere and anywhere and I always get "WOAH YOUR CHEEKBONES YOU LOOK SO TAN WOW"
Me: thanks I maye have applied it all over my face but thanks

Additionally, the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in a shade darker than your skin tone could work :)

For the longest time I actually used Covergirl's eyeshadow single in Tapestry Taupe. It's a kinda shimmery/satin/whatever finish but on my face it never came off that way. It's pretty much perfect for my skin and it's cool-toned so it looks natural. Cheap, and if you try it and don't like it for contouring, then you have a decent new eyeshadow lol.

I'm also very pale and I use Makeup Revolution single eye shadow in Hung Up (dusky browny pink is best I can describe it). It's very cool toned, matte and costs £1. Warm toned anything looks horrible on me.

Illamasqua do some good ones- They have a contour highlight duo which has a lovely taupe contour shade. Also their cream pigment in hollow is popular for a cream contour (i like it as an eyebase as well)

I love MAC pro longwear blush in "Baby don't go". It's perfect for contouring and it gives you a nice glow. MAC NC15 is too dark/yellow for me so it is really hard to find a good contour shade, I feel ya!

I am pretty pale and I use the bronzing powder shade in light matte (the number 1) by The Body Shop. It's alright. It allows you to contour your face without looking like you are dressing up for Halloween.
