Cream is a color that will look good on everyone, and so is light brown. Use a light brown eyeliner that is applied very close to your lash line, and don't attempt anything like a cat eye just yet. Then try lip gloss or a natural pink, coral, or very light orange lipstick or tinted lip balm.

Use a primer and a setting spray or powder, or perhaps both. Pick waterproof mascara and eyeliner and avoid wearing heavy makeup that day. Bring your makeup with you for touch ups if you're still worried about it wearing off.

A few products mentioned here aren't essential (such as concealer if you don't have to cover any blemishes, or bronzer if you don't like the look), and even though they're part of some girl's daily routine, they don't have to be part of yours! If you aren't allowed to wear mascara or eyeliner for example, you can try other ways to replace them.

With lipstick, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and anything shiny or anything that really contrasts with your skin color, it will generally be apparent that you're wearing it - but not in an attention-drawing way.
