Bronzey Makeup on a Pale Girl - Am I Doing This Right?

Happy Memorial Day everyone!

BTW - a warning and an explanation about the MAJOR picturing whoring ahead... I always take my pictures at night and I always have to take a million to get ones I like... This is probably the first time I've really taken ones in natural light and I could NOT BELIEVE the result! I had to take maybe 30 compared to the sort of embarrassing 100 I sometimes take in order to get the shots I'm truly satisfied with. I did not manipulate these pictures at all -- well I never do, besides red eye removal -- but I'm only saying that because I could not believe how some of these turned out! I think these are by far the best shots (and truest representations) I've ever taken of my makeup, and of myself, actually, period. I'm sorry there are so many, but I just wanted to share them with y'all!

Oh, and please offer and CC you have... I love bronze looks, but I am sooo pale! I want to get the look down bc I would like to be able to wear it occassionally for summer.... If I go too warm I know that it can wash out pale, cool complexions like mine. Please offer any suggestions you have! Thanks sweeties and I hope you like the look! <3


Hope you're enjoying your long weekend!

You did AMAZING!
It looks so natural!!!

I would have liked to see a little bit more shimmery/highlight to really make your cheekbones pop, but it's not a must. What you did looks so so pretty!
GREAT job

Ty! I think the light may have washed that out a bit b/c I am the QUEEN of cheekbone highlight LOL! But I also did go a bit light on it today b/c I feel like I have been going a bit strong on it with normally using two MSFs

Wow - natural lighting has made all the difference in the world!!! I've always thought you were gorgeous, and loved your blending... but something about the natural light makes your skin look fresher, brighter and dewier! Lovely look, and perfect amount of shimmer IMHO!

I'm a pale, cool-toned girl as well and you have given me hope! I am inspired to try some similar colors...and to also try to photograph my makeup again; I could NEVER get decent color representation
