Blonde curls give the skin freshness, so properly selected makeup creates the image of a gentle, innocent girl. It is the feminine light image that is preferred by more men.
Following the laws of fashion trends, many blond beauties forget about moderation when creating makeup, making it vulgar or boring. Therefore, before creating a stunning image, you need to determine the tone of the blonde. Cool shades of hair do not go well with bright colors of shadows, but warm shades do the opposite.
The correct hairline is the first step to perfect makeup. Shadows can be selected depending on the shade of the hair. Ash blonde and other cool tones go well with purple, blue and pink. Owners of wheat color are recommended to experiment with brown.
Minimalist makeup is welcome for girls with golden, honey, or brown hair. Shadows in the pale orange spectrum are ideal for blondes with blue eyes and warm hair color. Stylists especially highlight brick, copper, ocher and sand tones of shadows. Bright accents should be avoided because they are not tolerated by the color of the iris.
Wedding makeup is always done in stages:
- smoothing the texture and complexion (with concealer, foundation, loose mineral powder);
- applying blush of a natural shade in a thin layer (you need to treat the protruding parts of the cheekbones, the edge of the jaw line, earlobes, and the tip of the nose);
- drawing up the eyebrow line with a pencil or shadows (it is not advisable to darken).
The color palette of shadows, eyeliner and mascara must be selected individually, depending on the shade of the hair. Gray, steel, and silver shadows are suitable for pale-skinned, blue-eyed blondes. Owners of ash, pearl, and platinum curls can afford more intense colors.
Before applying shadows, you need to prepare the skin of the eyelids with foundation and corrector. The use of black liner or eyeliner should be avoided. Dark brown shades are better. There are no restrictions in the choice of mascara.
General rules for applying makeup to blue eyes:
- Shadows should be applied sparingly;
- first apply dark shades of shadows, then shade them with light ones;
- With blue eyes mascara you need to tint only the upper eyelashes in 2-3 layers.
Lipstick should not be too intense (beige, peach, coral and plum shades are perfect).
Advice! On your wedding day, makeup should match not only your hair and eye color, but also your outfit, accessories, and bouquet.
What if the eyes are blue-gray?
Gray-blue eye color allows the blonde to experiment with her choice of makeup. If you choose the right shadows, the pupils can change color from dark gray to sky blue.
In 2016, it is fashionable to paint the upper eyelid orange, but it is not suitable for everyone. Those with blue-gray eyes are lucky in that regard. All shades of the palette perfectly emphasize the depth of the look. Yellow and brick tones also look good thanks to the contrast between the blue of the eyes and the eyelids.
What colors to choose?
- for a mysterious look and its drama, stylists recommend pale blue, pink, purple, azure and shades;
- create a spectacular, memorable image with the help of dark blue shadows;
- in summer, a turquoise shade is perfect for gray-blue eyes (a girl with small spots on the pupils and thick eyelashes should pay attention to it);
- For fair-skinned fashionistas, it is appropriate to use purple or lavender eyeshadow;
- For dark-skinned blondes with gray-blue eyes, the colors of champagne, amber and chocolate are suitable;
- silver shadows can give your eyes a steely tint;
- highlight blues with pastel tones.
Advice!Bright shades of shadows are suitable for gray-blue eyes, but it is better to use them for evening events. During the day they look slightly defiant.
Step-by-step instructions for flawless makeup
Before you start applying makeup, you need to match the blue color of your eyes with the shade of your hair.
Honey shades of hair look good with silver or light blue shades. Brown and blue mascara will look original. In this case, vulgarity and excessive flashiness are excluded. Powder is selected to match the skin tone. Rose-gold or pink-coral lipstick will perfectly complement the look.
For fair-haired blondes with blue eyes, it is better to choose blue eyeshadow. Pair with peach or pink nude powder and light pink lipstick to complete the look.
To achieve flawless, long-lasting makeup you need:
- Cleanse your face of pre-applied cosmetics, wash your face and apply foundation and powder to your skin.
- Prepare the skin of the eyelids by mattifying it with a concealer of a natural shade.
- Apply light shadows to the inner corner of the eyelid. White or shades of silver are perfect.
- Apply brick-colored eyeshadow to the middle part of the eyelid.
- Treat the outer corner of the eyelid with ocher shadows. If your eyes are large, white shadows on this area of the skin will also come in handy.
- Blend all applied colors so that the colors shimmer smoothly.
- Highlight the upper eyelid with a brown pencil.
- Apply a light beige pencil to the lower eyelid.
- Apply colored or black mascara (preferably brown) to the upper eyelashes.
- An oriental look can be achieved using thin arrows. For festive makeup, it is recommended to use rhinestones and sparkles.
Apply light shadows to the inner corner of the eyelid. White or shades of silver are perfect 
If you can't find the perfect makeup for you, stop at the technique smokey eye It suits any face shape.
To make your makeup last as long as possible and look great, choosing colors alone is not enough. Only high-quality cosmetics can refresh your face and remain unchanged from morning until late evening.
Wherever the blonde appears, she will always be guaranteed attention. And it doesn’t matter what kind of makeup she chose today - calm evening, done in bed colors, or bright, emphasizing both eyes and lips. Make-up is much easier for fair-haired beauties than for other representatives of the fair sex. As makeup artists say, such girls are allowed everything, the main thing is to choose the right cosmetics and not to overdo it with paints.
What's in a blonde's makeup bag?
Many modern ladies prefer to have two cosmetic bags at once: a small one (for everyday daytime makeup) and a large one (for evening makeup). The first contains simple matte eyeshadow, light blush, regular foundation and lip gloss. They carry it with them in their bag to work so that they can correct minor flaws. The filling of the second should be approached more responsibly, since a stylish and fashionable beauty cannot manage with one or two products.
Foundation: how to extend the life of makeup
When going to a club or a wild party, we hope that the cosmetics on our face will last at least five to six hours, no less. Who wants to constantly go to the ladies' room to wipe off runny mascara or reapply eyeshadow? This is why it is so important to use a high-quality silicone-based foundation.
You should also not forget about the powder, which consolidates the result. Light pink and nude shades suit blondes with fair skin. Those who constantly spend time in solariums and on beaches should choose a darker option. Finally, a brownish or bronze blush is applied to the cheekbones so that the face does not look like a clay mask.
What shadows suit blondes?
In most cases, shadows are chosen not according to hair color, but according to eye color. For example, gray-eyed people should not wear brown, dark shades, as they make the look empty and cloudy. In this case, cool tones are more suitable. Blue-eyed girls are better off choosing soft, bed-like options, but should avoid blue or azure ones.
The only rule you must remember is that the colors must be combined with each other. When applying shadows, do not forget to shade them, otherwise this makeup will look too rough. Evening makeup for blondes allows the use of pearlescent, silver, pink tones with shimmering particles and sparkles, but only if you are not going to be photographed. Otherwise, your photos will have glare that looks like dirt.
How to choose a good mascara for a blonde
In most cases, a double or triple effect is achieved thanks to a properly selected brush, and not the mascara itself. Of course, the composition plays an important role, but it has no effect on lengthening and increasing volume. Cheap and low-quality cosmetics can come in clumps, crumble quickly, and even cause allergies, so it’s still not worth risking your health.
- Large brush
This mascara is perfect for the fair sex with long or medium sparse eyelashes. It makes them more curvy and voluminous, while the length remains virtually unchanged.
- Straight, with short bristles
The standard brush, which our mothers used in their youth, is universal. It is suitable for all girls without exception. The only point is that it only colors the eyelashes without changing their shape and size. It is better to apply dye to blondes if they want to do regular daytime makeup rather than bright evening makeup.
- 3-in-1
Mascara with such brushes went on sale relatively recently; some fifteen to twenty years ago they had not even heard of it in Russia. As the manufacturers promise, this know-how will change your idea of evening makeup. After applying cosmetics, your eyelashes will curl, lengthen and acquire the desired volume. And you don't even have to use special curling irons.
- Double-sided brush
On one side there are thick, long teeth, on the other – sparse and short ones. Thanks to this design, it is much easier to use mascara, since first you apply the paint, then remove the residue. Beauties who use such products will never appear on the street with sticky eyelashes.
- Spiral brush
Since natural blondes also have very light eyelashes, dyeing them is much more difficult. The most common mistake is when girls apply mascara only to the middle and ends, without paying attention to the roots. This kind of makeup looks inharmonious, as if you had glued artificial hairs to your eyelids. To avoid this, it is best to use a brush with a double spiral. This will allow you to completely paint over the base and slightly lift it.
- Round brush
Girls with thick and long eyelashes should opt for this option. A rounded brush will not only apply the dye evenly to each hair, but will also give the blonde’s look expressive.
Eyeliner: do blondes need arrows?
Makeup artists do not recommend that fair-haired beauties use black pencils and liquid eyeliner, even for evening makeup. You can draw arrows with gray, brown, green and even blue colors. As for the line itself, it should not be too thick or long.
Another little secret that is constantly used by experienced makeup artists will help make your eyes more expressive. At the same time, you won’t look too provocative and vulgar if you decide to highlight your lips as well. So, instead of shadows, apply shimmering powder, draw sand-colored arrows, and paint your eyelashes with brown mascara.
Take care of your eyebrows: nothing extra
If you are naturally blonde, you can see it right away. In this case, the color of the hair on the body and face will not be too different. In most cases, dyed beauties are given away not by regrown roots, which are not put in order in time, but by that same arched stripe above the eyes. This is why it is so important to lighten both strands and eyebrows at the same time.
When doing evening makeup, you should first comb your hair so that it does not bristle, then paint it a little with a light brown pencil or eyeshadow of a suitable color. It is better to do this in strokes rather than in one continuous line. At the end, a special colorless fixing gel is applied, which will prevent the eyebrows from becoming unraveled.
Lipstick for evening makeup: brightness, richness and riot of colors
In fact, evening makeup for blondes includes a number of rules that fair-haired beauties must follow. Firstly, in no case should you choose faded, bed tones, as they blend in with the color of your skin and hair. Girls who use yellowish-purple shades look expressionless in dim lighting. However, red lipstick should not be used if your lips are too thin.
- Fair-haired lady
These beauties should use rich coral colors. This lipstick slightly enlarges the lips, while girls’ teeth look whiter. But burgundy in this case should not be used, as it adds vulgarity to the image.
- Honey (wheat) lady
If you belong to this category, then you should opt for beige-pink lipsticks. By the way, when creating evening makeup for blondes, makeup artists always take into account the accessories and outfit in which the girl plans to go to a restaurant or to a party. Therefore, first think about how you could add color if, for example, you use pinkish or peach shades.
- Ash-haired lady
As for the girls who dye their hair ashy, they are much luckier. Whether it’s daytime or evening makeup, for blondes it makes no difference what tone of lipstick is used. The main thing is to constantly try something new and not be afraid to experiment with style.
What blondes should avoid this year
The foundation should not differ much from your skin color, even if you are doing evening makeup. Otherwise, you will achieve the effect of a severed head, when the arms, neck, and décolleté differ from the tone of the face. If you decide to take such a desperate step and use a dark cream, apply it to all exposed areas of the body.
Not everyone knows, but eyelash extensions have long gone out of fashion. By the way, men never liked long fans on their eyes, which did not look very natural. Only a few masters cope with the task perfectly, and not every representative of the fair sex can afford the cost of their work.
As a last resort, you should get a good and expensive mascara, and not stick artificial hairs on your face. But here, too, not everything is as simple as it seems at first glance. Sometimes fashionistas apply so much paint to their eyes that their eyelashes stick together into two or three thick clumps. Such makeup mistakes are unforgivable even for schoolgirls, not to mention adults and successful ladies. By the way, traces of mascara need to be wiped off before leaving the house, which, unfortunately, many people forget about. It is unacceptable to overdo the number of shadows, otherwise they will simply begin to roll in the folds.
Lips outlined with a pencil, the color of which is very different from lipstick, look very rough. This was the customary thing to do fifty or sixty years ago. In the twenty-first century, harmony in everything is valued. And makeup in this case is no exception to the rule.
You can guess that very few people know how to apply blush by looking at the girls wearing makeup in the club. In most cases, they make quite visible circles in the cheekbone area without shading them. Two or three hundred years ago in Rus' it was customary to rub beets on the cheeks to achieve a healthy glow. The effect, of course, was amazing, but beauty, as they say, requires sacrifice.
Now is a completely different time, so following such traditions is very stupid. Those who want to use blush, but are afraid to look funny, should first use peach or pink colors. Pull your lips into a tube, apply a little makeup to your cheekbones, then smile broadly and blend everything with a fluffy brush. Direction - to the temples.
To learn how to apply makeup correctly, all you need to do is spend a day experimenting with your look. Find a photo of a girl with successful evening makeup and try to repeat everything down to the smallest detail. As a last resort, visit a beauty salon and ask a makeup artist to give you a couple of lessons. With a little effort and patience, you will shine brighter than everyone else at the party.
Blue eyes and blond curls are a truly gentle, seductive and incredibly beautiful combination. Young ladies with such an appearance only need to competently emphasize their beauty, and properly executed makeup can be a faithful assistant in this.
Choosing makeup shades for blondes with blue eyes
When choosing the optimal tones for your makeup, you need to familiarize yourself with the main rules for applying make up for blue-eyed seductresses, which will help you study. Blondes should opt for diluted watercolor shades: pearl, light blue, gray, soft purple, silver, lilac, pastel pink. For daytime make-up, you don’t need to get carried away with pearlescent glosses, while for an evening out they will be an excellent choice. It should be taken into account that delicate blue-eyed beauties rarely suit turquoise and bright blue colors.
Blondes should not use black eyeliner, as well as black pencil for their eyebrows. It is best for such young ladies to use gray pencils, and for the eyebrows to select gray shadows or pencils. It happens that brown pencils also suit blondes with blue eyes, although many makeup artists do not recommend using them for everyone.
Blondes often have light, barely noticeable eyelashes. Black mascara will help solve this problem. However, in order to avoid an overly vulgar look, it is better to paint over only the tips of the eyelashes with black mascara. You should also be wary of blue mascara, so popular among blondes. She is certainly good, but only on young girls who have planned to go to a party. Older women are better off purchasing the classic version.
Choosing makeup according to your appearance type
When choosing the optimal make up, it is extremely important to take into account your type of appearance. Thus, blondes are usually divided into four main types. Each type has its own specific foundation, shadows, eyeliners, lipsticks and mascaras. So, there are blue-eyed blondes:
- With blonde curls from Mother Nature and pale skin; - With light skin tones, as well as with all known tones of light brown hair; - With ashy strands and pale skin; - With dark skin tone and different variations of blonde hair.
Based on this division, the following rules must be observed: if you are light-eyed, fair-haired and also light-skinned, then dark tones should not be used in your makeup. You should use only muted and calm shade options. This rule applies to both eyes and lips. Young ladies with warm notes in their image (brown hair, dark skin) are a little more fortunate, since they are not forbidden to use brighter, more noticeable, warm tones.
It should also be taken into account that blond strands can make the skin tone even lighter than it is. It would be nice to emphasize this golden glow of the skin with cosmetics in warm, slightly shiny tones. In this case, an excellent solution could be a liquid transparent foundation for future makeup with reflective particles, which will “illuminate” the skin.
Daytime makeup for blue-eyed blondes
Blonde-haired “blue eyes” will love the barely noticeable, natural Nude Look. It is he who is able to adequately emphasize all the grace and elegance of the image, and he will also give the appearance freshness and innocence. The main requirement of Nude makeup is a little makeup and no flashy heavy colors. Before you “put on” this look, make sure that your skin is perfect - without acne, rashes, unevenness, etc.
After the foundation is applied to the skin, it will become a little porcelain and doll-like. A light shade of blush can give a healthy glow. A darker shade of eyebrow pencil will make your look more expressive. For the eyes it is better to use one mascara, otherwise the image may turn out too bright and unsuitable for a daytime appearance. When choosing mascara, do not forget about the color type. Dark brown mascara suits the cold type, and black mascara suits the warm type.
If shadows are still involved in makeup, then the following tones are suitable: amber, peach or champagne shades. All of the listed tones will highlight not only the eyes, but also the radiant curls, as if visually illuminating the face.
Evening make up for blue-eyed blondes
Evening make-up requires your special attention. Girls with such an appearance can instantly turn into a plain-looking person who will be associated with a gray mouse. Also, do not forget about caution in using bright colors so that the image does not smack of vulgarity.
If you nevertheless decide to use bright colors, then you will only need to use mascara; in this case, it is better to forget about eyeliner. If we talk about the shadow palette, it may include the following tones: brown, dark burgundy, gold, light pink, dark blue, light blue. If shadows are not used, then you can draw graceful arrows.
Skin tone must be simply flawless. Blush in evening makeup should be barely noticeable. Well, the final touch will be the sponges. If arrows are chosen for going out, then you can apply juicy, bright lipstick, for example, red.

Step-by-step instructions for daytime or “nude” makeup for fair-haired women
As close as possible to the natural and pristine. However, there are certain subtleties, so we will show daytime makeup for blondes step by step. So…
1. Corrector
First, work on problem areas. For blondes, this is the area under the eyes and in the corners of the eyes. The corrector tone is one tone lighter than the skin. So, let's mask the problem areas.
2. Tone
Apply with massage movements, starting from the T-zone. The cream should not be too thick, this will create the effect of a “foundation mask”. A light foundation that has a moisturizing effect is perfect.
A little trick: use mineral makeup, it doesn’t clog pores, apply evenly. Will never create a mask effect.
3. Eye makeup
In everyday life, it is recommended, if possible, to abandon shadows, or at least deep and dark shades. To make your eyes appear “wide open”, you can apply a thin strip of white shadow under the eyebrow. If you can’t go without shadows, then it should be coral-brown or beige-pink. Let down.
The eyes can be grey, or alternatively a brown pencil. Try to avoid black arrows. Blondes have light eyelashes, so it is necessary to use mascara. Brown mascara would be appropriate.
4. Eyebrow makeup
Eyebrows should be highlighted with a gray or brown pencil, or even better, with shadows. It is also necessary to draw the border of the eyebrows in gray.
5. Lip makeup
During the day, it is better for blondes to wear light pink lipstick or gloss of the same color, as well as beige color, without a pencil.
6. Blush
The final touch is blush. If the skin is light, then the blush is a light shade.
We do evening makeup for fair-haired women
Requires a special approach. Dark tones and deep shades are allowed here. When creating an expressive evening look, you need to clearly understand which features a girl should emphasize and which should be hidden. The emphasis is usually on the lips or eyes. We offer evening makeup for blondes step by step. So…
1. Applying foundation for evening makeup
Having covered all the problem areas (as is the case with daytime makeup), you should start applying the foundation. For an evening out, a light, barely noticeable foundation that practically does not differ in color from the tone of the face is suitable. Apply drops of cream to the forehead, cheekbones, nose and chin. Blend thoroughly and remove excess cream with a napkin. Work on bags under the eyes and dark circles - they need to be camouflaged. Apply blush and powder on top with light movements. The powder can have a shimmer effect.
A little trick: mineral makeup is durable and of high quality; it will last not only all day, but also all evening.
2. Eye makeup
To create an elegant and festive look, as a rule, three shades of color are used. The first shade is white shadow, applied just under the eyebrow. The second is dark, as an option, rich brown, applied to the crease between the fixed and moving eyelids, as well as to the outer corner of the eye. The third shade is a kind of transition between the two previous shades. For the evening version, it is recommended to use black mascara; several layers are allowed. The use of several false eyelashes in the outer corner of the eye is also not prohibited.
3. Eyebrow makeup
Eyebrows can be made more saturated; for this there must be an ideal bend line. Use tweezers to carefully remove excess hair. Apply shadows in a dark shade, but not in contrast to the natural one. Comb your eyebrows with a special brush.
4. Lip makeup
You can combine lipstick and gloss to give your lips plumpness and a little shine.

Wedding makeup for blondes with blue eyes: rules
In order not to burden the image of the blue-eyed beauty, wedding makeup must be approached with all responsibility. A white dress, blond hair and sky-colored eyes make the makeup task a little more difficult. As a rule, the emphasis for blondes is on the eyes. Blondes with honey-colored hair or golden hair will benefit from gentle, close-to-natural makeup. No frills.
- Before you start applying shadows, you need to prepare your eyelid and apply a natural color corrector to it.
- After this, apply a light shade of eyeshadow to the inner part of the eyelid (the very corner), to the middle part - for example, sand-colored eyeshadow, and to the outer corner - a darker shade, for example, brick would look good.
- There should not be a sharp boundary between the shadows, they should smoothly transition into each other, for this they resort to shading.
- The upper eyelid can be highlighted with a brown pencil, and the lower eyelid can be emphasized with a light pencil, for example, light beige.
- Complete the makeup by applying brown mascara.

How to do summer makeup for blondes?
We start makeup by applying the foundation. In summer, of course, it is recommended to avoid foundation, but those who absolutely cannot do without them can use a moisturizing tinted cream. Blush in summer should be weightless and light, natural, without bright accents. It is recommended to apply blush with a brush with natural bristles.
For eyebrows in summer, a light brown pencil is suitable, don’t forget to comb your eyebrows! In summer, it is better to avoid eye shadow and apply only brown or gray mascara to your eyes, no more than two layers. It is worth giving up bright, vulgar lipsticks and acidic glosses; lips should be natural.
Are you wearing a red dress? Don't forget about the subtleties:
A seductive red dress requires a special approach to makeup, especially if the red dress is worn by a blonde. So, for example, in makeup for a red dress for blondes, it is recommended to avoid shadows completely or apply a shade that will be almost invisible. To highlight your eyes, you can draw arrows with a pencil and tint your eyelashes with black mascara. Lipstick should match the tone of the dress if you are focusing on your lips. If the emphasis is on the eyes, then the lips can be painted with a delicate gloss or lipstick.
How to do makeup with red lipstick?
All shades and tones of red lipstick are just what suits blondes, be it rich and bright shades or sophisticated muted tones. In makeup with red lipstick for blondes, when applying a bright shade, you must strictly adhere to the contour of the lips, without going beyond it. Red lipstick is more relevant for an evening out and a bright accent on the lips reminds that there is no need to highlight the eyes too much. It will be enough to highlight the upper eyelid with shadows and apply black mascara to the eyelashes.
A little trick: use mineral cosmetics, it does not contain moisture, and the minerals in its composition can absorb excess sweat and fat.
- Blonde beauties with natural hair color should take into account the shade of their eyes. For girls with colored hair, it is better to match the color palette with your skin tone.
- The rule to remember is: the lighter the hair, the softer and calmer the colors you should choose. This mainly applies to eye shadow and lipstick.
- Blondes are divided into cold and warm types. This also affects the composition of the color scheme of cosmetics.
- Don't overdo it with dark eyebrows. It is better for fair-haired girls not to use black color at all to shape their eyebrows - makeup artists prefer different shades of brown.
How to determine your color type for a blonde
Stylists distinguish two types of appearance: “warm” and “cold”.
Warm
The warm type is characterized by peach or yellowish skin tones. Eye shades vary from soft blue to brown and even black. Often girls with this color type have freckles.
But it’s better to avoid black, hot pink, pure white and cold purple.
This color type includes: Jennifer Anniston, Nicole Kidman and Candice Swanepoel.
Cold
The cold type includes girls with light brown, ash and blond hair. Their eye color is soft blue, olive or gray. Porcelain leather, milky.
Such girls suit soft gray and sky blue, golden, chestnut-gray colors. They will favorably emphasize the aristocratic pallor of “cold” beauties and help place a competent emphasis on the eyes. Blush should be chosen in light pink tones, and transparent gloss or soft lipstick should be applied to the lips.
Bright apricot and pearlescent shades of light shadows are best left to representatives of other skin tones and hair colors.
The “cold” color type includes: Charlize Theron, Cameron Diaz, Elle Fanning, January Jones and Cara Delevingne.
To check exactly what color type you are, there are several tests
- Jewelry. If you think that you look better in gold jewelry rather than silver (it’s not a matter of taste preferences, but what really gives your skin radiance and freshness) - then you belong to the “warm” color type. And if you notice that your skin is in harmony with silver and platinum, you are the owner of a “cold” type.
- Vein color. Take a closer look at the color of the veins on the inside of your wrist. Do you see bluish tints? Then your skin most likely belongs to the cool color type. If you see greenish tones, you are a “warm-skinned” representative of the fair sex. Of course, there are no green veins. We see them this way because we look through their yellowish skin, which creates this effect.
- Solar test. Does your skin get a bronze tan when exposed to sunlight, or does it immediately burn and turn red? In the first option, you can be classified as a warm type, and in the second, you can be classified as a cold type.
Essential makeup kit
Makeup for blondes is impossible without the following arsenal of cosmetics:
- Before applying accents, you need to carefully prepare your skin, so prepare primer, highlighter, powder and blush.
- If you want to focus on your eyes, prepare shadows of the desired shades, eyeliner or eyeliner.
- You can use dark shadows instead of eyeliner.
- Any makeup for fair-haired girls will seem unfinished without the use of mascara or false eyelashes (the second is more likely to apply to evening makeup options).
- If you decide to focus on your lips: prepare lipstick or lip gloss of a suitable color.
- You should also buy sponges, cotton swabs and milk or micellar water to correct errors when applying cosmetics.
Rules for applying perfect natural makeup for blondes
It should look natural and not raise suspicions that you spent 5 hours in front of the mirror, even if this is true. Blonde girls have skin, eyebrows and eyelashes of appropriate tones. Therefore, blond beauties always run the risk of overdoing it with makeup, making it look vulgar and repulsive. To end up with not a painted doll, but a captivating image, you need to listen to the golden rule of makeup artists: focus either on the eyes or on the lips.
- Without sufficient skin preparation, any makeup will look bad. Therefore, make-up artists advise carefully preparing your face for applying cosmetics: cleanse the skin with foam or gel, apply tonic and moisturizer, and only then begin to create it.
- Then you need to apply it on a foundation or primer, and only after that - mask the redness and small blood vessels with concealer and mattify the face with powder. For all stages of application, experts recommend using mineral products. After all, such cosmetics are not only suitable for any color and skin type, but also do not contain parabens or preservatives, and also do not cause allergies.
- The next step will be to apply a beige shade of eyeshadow to the surface of the eyelid (for daytime makeup, you can use both matte and pearlescent textures, but it is better to use the latter not so actively, and better yet as an accent on a separate area).
- After that, we proceed to the “cherries on the cake”. Depending on what you decide to focus on - lips or eyes, you should choose further actions.
Captivating look: focus on the eyes
Daytime eye makeup for blondes: you can use no shadow at all or cover your eyelids with a nude or beige-pink shade. In order to make your eyes look visually “open,” you can apply ivory shades under the eyebrow line and on the outer corner of the eye. You can line your eyes with a gray or brown pencil. Mineral shadows, if wet, will also do an excellent job of this task and help you draw a neat arrow.
But black graphic arrows are not suitable for everyone. Due to the light color of eyelashes and eyebrows, it is necessary to use mascara and pencil. But here too it is better to give preference to chestnut and graphite shades. If you decide to pay attention to your eyes, you should find out which shades are suitable for different eye shades.
Makeup for green-eyed blondes
For green-eyed beauties, all shades of brown are suitable: from golden chestnut to chocolate. In addition to this option, a combination of olive with gray or brown would be successful. Lavender, copper and mustard and metallic tones look quite advantageous. But blue and hot pink shades are best avoided.
Makeup for a brown-eyed blonde
Blondes with brown eyes are a rarity. Therefore, when creating it, it is important to emphasize this feature with suitable shadows. The choice is worth stopping at peach and golden sand. Green, lavender, walnut and soft pink tones will also look good. Mascara can be black or brown. But it’s better to avoid blue or other bright colors, which are sometimes used by blondes with light eye shades. As well as bright lipstick if you have a rich, deep eye shade. But if your eye color is rather light brown, feel free to use brighter colors rather than soft pink, nude or beige lipstick.
Makeup for gray-eyed blondes
Most fair-haired representatives of the fair sex have this particular eye shade. Such girls should stick to calm colors, because the combination of blond hair and gray eyes definitely creates a delicate girlish image that can be easily disrupted by the wrong combination of tones.
Be especially careful when choosing your foundation - your hair color will lighten your face too much, so going too light can turn you into a porcelain doll, and in this case that's not a compliment at all. However, creating a sultry mulatto look with self-tanning or a dark foundation is also not worth it.
To better frame the eyes, makeup artists advise using shadows in sky blue, olive, silver and lilac shades. Don't forget that this eye color is often called "chameleon". This means that it absorbs other tones and changes its original color depending on the lighting, outfit and many other details.
Makeup for a blue-eyed blonde
In general, such a make-up will not differ significantly from the option for gray-eyed beauties. It is also recommended to choose the most natural foundation colors possible. The color palette of the shadows is also similar: chestnut, purple, golden and sand tones. But it is better to avoid blue color. It can discolor your beautiful eyes and make them faded. Therefore, focus on the tone of your hair. If they are almost ashy, use silver and gray shadows.
Selection of lipstick or gloss: focus on the lips
Blonde girls can use lipsticks with both a glossy and matte effect. Mostly, makeup artists recommend pastel shades of pink, soft peach and even beige. Transparent glosses and balms with or without a shimmering effect are also popular. But bright lipstick colors are best left for an evening look and creating brighter makeup for blondes.
How to choose the best cosmetics for blondes
Proper execution of make-up, correctly selected shadows and lipstick and clean skin are not the key to success. The work of even the most experienced makeup artist will go down the drain if you use low-quality cosmetics.
Stylists around the world have been choosing mineral products for several years now. There are good reasons for this:
- No allergies. In the composition of such cosmetics you will find exclusively natural ingredients that will not have an aggressive effect on the delicate skin of the face.
- Mineral products do not clog into pores or accumulate in wrinkles, which means nothing will harm your skin or highlight age-related changes.
- Thanks to minerals, cosmetics absorb excess oil on the surface of the skin, and also dry out pimples, tighten pores and even protect against harmful sun exposure.
- Due to the nature of the mineral composition, even if you forget to wash off your makeup, you don’t need to worry about inflammation and pimples that may appear the next day. Experts say that mineral cosmetics will even bring benefits if worn for a long time. We don’t encourage you to forget about micellar water and facial wash, but everyone sometimes has long get-togethers with friends or night walks.
- Cosmetics made from minerals are suitable for any skin type and will help highlight the advantages and hide the disadvantages of even problematic and sensitive types.
Selected in accordance with the characteristics of the color type and eye shade, makeup for a blonde made with high-quality cosmetics can transform a blond beauty and make her a real magnet for admiring glances and compliments.
