Flawless fair skin

Flawless fair skin

If you have fair skin and want it to look flawless, discover the secrets behind beautifully clear skin...

What are the characteristics of a fair complexion?

Naturally pale skin with few imperfections, which looks fresh and youthful. Its creamy texture brings out your eyes and lips well.

The golden rule for perfect skin
For beautiful, clear and healthy skin, the essentials are good make-up remover every day, a protective day cream and nourishing night cream. Regular exfoliation is also important, to get rid of dead skin cells, restore radiance to the skin and let it breathe again.

Make-up
You want to aim for a perfectly even complexion, with a nude look. Your face needs light, not colour, and you don't want to look as if you're wearing make-up.

Choosing and applying make-up
Apply your make-up in natural daylight; avoid electric lighting which alters colours.
Use a white-pink make-up base to bring out your skin’s radiance and texture. Apply with your finger and smooth in. This is your artist's canvass.
Next, use liquid foundation with a slightly pearlescent texture, in a shade close to your own skin tone or slightly lighter. Apply with a brush to the middle of your face then towards the outer edges, brushing lightly, and then apply to the neck. Light reflectors create a perfect illusion and provide transparent coverage.
For a more sophisticated, velvety finish, use a large brush to apply transparent loose powder over your whole face, or a compact beige-pink powder for a bit more coverage. Use lighter powder in the day and pinker powder in the evening.

Make-up for your skin tone

If you have 'fairly' fair skin: go for a peach/apricot base and use cream or compact foundation in a shade above your skin tone. Avoid pinkish tones if you get rosacea, as these make redness look more obvious.
If you have white Asian skin: it will stay fair and radiant with a mauve base that gives it glow, then matte, neutral beige powder foundation will give even coverage.
If you have very fair skin: use a white-pink make-up base, choose a foundation in a shade that’s close to your skin tone, and give your skin a velvet sheen with a transparent powder.
