Dear members of my flist who knows a lot about make up,


Say, theoretically, someone with a complexion approximately as pale as masking tape (but who blushes fairly easily) and has coppery hair and green eyes wanted to put on make up to go to a formal event, what sort of make up would they need?

PS, the dress is a black cocktail dress, the jewlery is thus far silver.

I don't know a lot about makeup, but I do know a lot about being pale and having green eyes (you're on your own for the coppery hair though).

Subtle is the way to go! Greens and light browns tend to go well with green eyes, and you can never go wrong with blue. Pale, pale lavender can bring out green nicely, and looks nice with silver jewellery.

Unless you're going for the vampire look, nothing too bright on lips or cheeks. I don't know about Canada, but over here you can get colour-stains; they're a lot more natural, last longer than lippie, and can go on both lips and cheeks.
