Make Up.
 
Hey guys!! What kind of make up do you use to make yourselves look really pale? What are your favorite brands of make up? Where do you usually buy your makeup from?

NightwishCobain 10-26-2005 09:12 AM

to make myself pale - lack of exposure to the sun
favourite brand of eyeliner - Rimmel London jet black
where i buy my make up - a chemist! lol

one thing i suggest is always wear a 30 sunblock..even on cloudy days..cause there is still a ton of sun exposure..do it for awhile and you will start to look sickly and alabaster..which is what my mom says..i just say thanks..

otherwise..pick a foundation that is 2 shades lighter than yer skin tone...and blend it into your face and neck..

Like NWC said, avoid the sun as much as possible, and wear a good sun screen that is at least spf 30 or 45.

I'm lucky my face is naturally pale so i just use a little pressed powder, to make it even paler, eyeliner i use Rimmel because it doesnt need re applying, but that could just be me

I just put light foundation on (I'm still at that annoying stage of teenage years where my face resembles a slightly overspoted dalmatian). I find it hard to get my skin pale. Rimmel do the best eyeliner.

Put lotion on your face, and then use a makeup brush to apply baby powder really lightly. It will make you really pale but can get ichy after a while and starts to suffocate your face.

Makeup
 
Well, my favourite makeup look is dramatic black cat eyes. I usually do it without eyeshadow. Eyeshadow makes me look older and I CERTAINLY DON'T want that heehee. I have white foundation and concealer and powder, but...I'm kinda overweight and I think when I put on whiteface it makes me look, well, fatter lol. The kind of makeup I currently wear is the eyeliner, mascara of course, eyebrow tint, a teeny bit of creme or gel blush and lipgloss. When I'm thinner (hopefully soon), I WILL wear whiteface, also I bought some full body skin lightening creme and I've yet to try it, but if it's good, I'll be sure to report back on it;) I will also wear my favourite deep red lipstick (also currently makes me look fat lol). I have to wait to wear that too. I'll most likely wear black lipstick too. Anyway, I know my look is somewhat stereotypical:( I just really love it and feel that it suits me well:)

Yesterday I went to a beauty supply store. I was getting enough looks already, but it was kinda fun. Anyways I asked the lady if she had 2 foundations lighter than my skin, after I asked her that she laughed and went to look for the lightest foundation she had. That foundation was darker than me. She kept giggling and said that she didn't have any lighter foundation, and recommended that I go out and stay in the sun a little bit more.

SO! Enough story time.
I usually make my Eyes look Egyptian style, I've been doing my eyes like that for 7 years and I'm very good at it. As for my Lips I use Black Lipstick or Blood Red.

Oh Wow...Thank you. :'D

DeathTrip 11-04-2005 11:15 AM

You are indeed!

I cant use a lot of foundation on my skin, but recommendation to people; Never use Stargazer white foundation, it's appauling!

Im naturally pale, but to look pale always use sun block, and use pressed powder one or two shades lighter than your skin tone, i use baby powder on my face it doesnt make me look plaer but it gives my face a lovely matte finish!

NyQuil of Doom 11-04-2005 12:43 PM

^ Baby powder -is- one or two shades lighter than my skin tone. ;)

Nemesis 11-13-2005 10:15 AM

Good point, but it never makes me look any paler to be honest

Well if you want your face white right away and you want to get something for cheap just go to a dollar store or any kind of cheap little store and you can actually find little gothic pallets. I have one and it has white, black, red and grey in it but i only use the black and white.

I don't do anything special to make myself pale. I live in a rainy climate, so I'm not exposed to the sun much. My skin turns a pale grey if I don't go outside. It's actually quite horrible.

Midnight_Terror 11-13-2005 04:16 PM

I'm not pale unfortunately...I spent like 3 years brooding my room hissing at sunlight...then I went outside for 2 hours and I went BROWN...and now I do sports but I was so upset...anyway...move this thread to where it belongs.

angleangel_doom 11-13-2005 05:12 PM

I hate the sun and have a mild allergic reaction to it, so I am naturally pale. I love my hands to be pale, too for some reason, so I keep them in my pockets a lot.
Eyeliner, anything really, I don't really use it a lot since my eyelashes are super black and pretty thick on the bottom.
And my favorite mascara will always be Maybelline, I swear by it.
Otherwise I use blush to amplify my paleness and for the occasional drama.
WOOt.
