    On extremely fair skin tones, you usually need to go with cooler colors, like pinks, purples, greens, blues, and cool browns.

    My eyes are very far from each other. What can I do?
    Community Answer
    Just embrace it. If that doesn't help, then you might want to try to wear makeup on other places on your face. That way, people will focus more on other places on your face, and not your eyes.

    Apply white eye shadow or white eyeliner pencil in your inner eye corners, then apply eyeliner on your water line.
  • Question
    Is primer important for before makeup?
    Community Answer
    Primer is usually important if you are looking for a poreless complexion, or are planning on wearing your makeup for a long time (9 hours+). However, there are some "long lasting" foundations, which will stay put on your face for longer periods of time. There aren't many foundations that will actually fill pores/give you a smoothed, poreless complexion though. Even though you don't always need a primer, you should always prep your skin for makeup with a moisturizer, an oil such as rosehip, and by washing it. Overall, how well you prep or prime your face prior to makeup application determines how well your makeup turns out/lasts.

    On pale skin, you want to go with more natural or nude colors. With darker skin, you can go with darker tones if you prefer.

    Black eyeliner or mascara will make your eyes stand out. Use peach eyeshadow to enhance your eyes.
