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.

Whether or not you need foundation depends on:

A. whether you like the look of your plain old skin as it is/don't feel the need to cover anything up like dark undereye circles or some redness or whatever, and B. whether or not they make foundation pale enough for you. I have trouble with B but I find that I too easily look dead if I don't cover up my eye circles.

Otherwise, I'd go for champagne colored eyeshadow, mascara, peachy blush with some shimmer/glow to it, and slightly-darker-than-your-natural-lips reddish but not TOO red.

That's what I do when I have red hair and want simple classy evening makeup with not a lot of steps.
