5 makeup mistakes not to make when you’re blonde: Femme Actuelle Le MAG


1 / Put on brown mascara

Contrary to what one might think, brown mascara is not especially recommended for blondes. It is rather suitable for those who like discreet make-up. To intensify and emphasize the look, especially if you have clear eyelashes, nothing like a black mascara. It will also make you look less tired.

2 / Wear a lot of colorful make-up

Bright colors will look even flashier if you have blonde hair. That is why it is advisable to wear them in small touches : raspberry lips with a nude complexion, a colored liner with rosy lips, a coral eye shadow with a discreet mouth…

3 / Choose a foundation that is too dark

Blondes’ skin is often fair, with pink undertones. The right reflex: avoid applying a yellow foundation or golden which will make you look bad. If you have very thin, translucent skin, also consider camouflage small redness, dark circles and irregularities with a corrector or a foundation.

4 / Do not make up your eyebrows

Blondes’ eyebrows often need to be redesigned and intensified. Start by redefining their line with a pencil then apply a densifying tinted gel to give them more thickness. Ideal for intensifying your gaze and emphasizing your facial features.

5 / Use an intense blush

Be careful with hyper-pigmented blushes which are difficult to blend on fair skin. Choose from very discreet creamy or powdery texture, like a pink, beige or apricot.
