Fair skin looks great with soft, muted colors. Try pinks, light browns, and beiges. Go for lighter shades and sheer colors like taupe, champagne, or soft plum.
Find your undertone:
- Cool Undertones (skin has hints of blue, red, or pink): Sea colors, soft purples, taupes, light beiges, metallics, pinks, and berry reds are good choices.
- Warm Undertones (skin has hints of gold, yellow, or peach): Go for earthy reds, yellows, greens, browns, peaches, corals, and violet-reds.
- Neutral Undertones: You can wear any color, but soft berry shades like raspberry, lemon, and lavender often look best.

Lighter shades work beautifully for a natural eye makeup look on fair skin. Stick to sheer colors like taupe, champagne, beige, bronze or other soft shades.
Tip: If you want a subtle and natural eye makeup look, I recommend using a brown eyeliner. And the look is completed with the use of mascara.

3. Mastering the Smokey Eye

A smokey eye can look dramatic on fair skin, but the key is blending and using lighter colors. It’s important to choose a cool gray eyeshadow palette, as dark shades can easily appear too intense.
Tip: When using deeper shades for eyeshadow, complement them with black eyeliner to enhance the natural tones. And finish off with black mascara for a sophisticated and smooth smokey makeup look.
