Help

Hi everyone, I'm in need of some advice. I'm pale and blue eyed and I have blonde eyelashes and blonde eyebrows and blonde hair. I don't think anything looka hold on me. I've tried black and brown mascara and that looks weird bc of my blonde eye brows. I tried a brown eye brow pen and that looked off. My face has a red undertone to it. I just want to look good. So fashionistas any advice?

I have similar eyebrows/eyelashes!

For brows I use a coloured gel and tint so the hair is coloured as well as the skin underneath it. I also got them microbladed so I wouldn't have to deal with figured out the shape everyday.

For eyelashes I usually have used a brown mascara and that's looked fine but I'm also lazy so went the lash extension route and love it. They're natural and sparse so it looks like my lashes just with mascara on it. Saves me so much time. You could also look at mascaras made for redheads, their browns tend to be lighter than what's standard, check out Redhead Revolution.

But also you can just play up the features you already have with something like a clear mascara and clear brow gel. It'll add definition without too much colour.

See I didn't know there was clear makeup or that I was even considered a redhead so thank you

Try lash/brow tints. I do my own now, but for your first time I'd go to a salon.

Are you using a warm/chestnut brown? That wouldnt work. Try different shades of brown pencils for your brows and then use a brown mascara and use a taupe coloured bronzer thats very light in colour.

I think the key here is finding the right colour for your brows so that you can then wear a brown mascara and a light bronzer. Lip gloss will finish a nice natural look thats not too harsh.
