Best make up colors and bronzer for over 50 fair skin white hair

I am letting my hair go grey and it is coming in a beautiful white. I basically look like my Irish uncles with fair skin, some freckles and bright blue eyes, over 50. 

the make up colors I usually use are not looking right. 

 

Any suggestions for bronzer and lipstick colors? eyeshadow etc.

thanks

Try sun bunny bronzer from Too Faced. Very natural

Best make up colors and bronzer for over 50 fair skin white hair

My hair is turning white and I haven't stopped coloring it yet, but I have started doing my research. I've read at least ten different articles telling me to avoid cool colors because they are aging. Honestly, I have extremely yellow undertones so I wear warm colors anyway, but occasionally I like to throw in a cool color just for the contrast. It can be very dramatic on warm skin and draw attention to a feature like my eyes or cheekbones, whatever I want to focus on. It's so hard to suggest colors for someone else and kind of impossible to know anything without trying it out. It might be fun to take a recent photo of yourself and use the app's "Try it on" feature to go nuts and try colors you never wore before. I've always been pretty conservative in my makeup choices, but as I get older, the new options available like lime green liquid liner look more fun, and product technology has given far more color choice than we grew up with. Your white hair immediately establishes your credibility as an adult, it could be fun to show off a little of your individuality in a way that you might not have been willing to when you were younger. Be adventurous in what you try and I bet you will surprise yourself with what looks good on you now.

Hi @MKgonegrey!

 

My favorite bronzer is the Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer Milk Chocolate (not this color).  The bronzer color will depend on your skin and undertone colors (warm, cool, neutral).

 

Warm shades and orange toned eyeshadows (copper, bronze, gold) are great for brightening blue eyes.  Blue, grey and silver eyeshadows are also good options.

Natasha Denona Bronze Eyeshadow Palette is my favorite for natural, everyday looks.  You can never go wrong with a good bronze palette!

 

These are some other popular palettes:

Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Eyeshadow Palette 

Natasha Denona Gold Eyeshadow Palette 15 x 0.08 oz/ 2.5 g 

PAT McGRATH LABS Mothership I Eyeshadow Palette - Subliminal 

 

If you want a natural lipstick color, choose a color closest color to your nipple color (weird, I know, but it works!)
