What shades of lipstick, blush, and eyeshadow would look best on me?

I have pale skin, green eyes, and redish brown hair. What shades of lipstick, blush, and eyeshadow would look best on me?
To be honest I don鈥檛 think you should worry too much about strictly avoiding certain shades. I actually don鈥檛 think dark colours are necessarily complimentarily either as they can look very harsh on pale skin. One thing I would recommend is embracing your colouring, far too many women that are naturally pale are made to feel that they need bronzer etc to look healthy, there is nothing wrong with being a pale redhead and I wouldn鈥檛 try to do anything to disguise your 鈥榩aleness鈥? I think the most important thing is to stick to soft colours at first until you grow in confidence with colour usage. Start out with using soft brown colours on the lids and light peachy colour blusher 鈥?try to avoid anything too red looking as this will over emphasise the underlying red tones that most people with red hair and fair skin have. Try some natural looking pink/peachy-pink lipstick shades at first to experiment with. I would recommend investing in a colour pallet with many different eye shadows and lip colours etc too so that you can experiment and see what works for you. What works with one pale redhead will not always wok for you. As I mentioned, I recommend trying out neutral shades to start with. For an evening look, some soft light brown shadow with dark brown liner on top with red lipstick should look fabulous 鈥?try looking at some of the classic 40s/50鈥檚 film star looks for inspiration such as Maureen O'Hara.What shades of lipstick, blush, and eyeshadow would look best on me?
Your hair is red and your skin is pale, so don't try pinks.





Don't ever wear green eyeshadow unless it is a few (no more than 2) shades of green and blended well with another flattering color. This doesn't play up your eyes, since it's the same color...





No black mascara, try brown or clear. Do the same with eyeliner, black will probably look too harsh on you.





I've seen purple eyeshadow look fabulous with green eyes and pale skin, but don't use a shade that's too dark. Go to the makeup aisle and look for Almay Intense iColor for green. There's eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara that will coordinate with your eye color.





If you were to wear lipstick, use a red with blue or berry undertones.





Foundation--just find a good brand you like and match the color!





Hope this helped...
For your skin tone you should wear a light pink lipstick and for green eyes a brownish mix of red tint eyeshadow.. For blush just use a light brownish bronzer.
HI There, try keeping to dark shades, use kohl for your eye lining as it looks killng sexy for green eyes. Blush---throw it away but if u like brown is the best and lipstck browns or reds :) u'll look damn sexy
