How to enhance your naturally fair skin (plus get a chance to win a shopping spree from Palmolive!)
Wednesday, June 20, 2012 at 10:00AM Fair-skinned girls are lucky in the sense that they can pull off a wider range of colors. Anything from pastels to jewel tones look good on fair skin! But, the basics first! If you have fair skin, here are a few tips on how to enhance it with makeup.
1. Wear pink! Pink is a bright and cheery color that anyone can pull off. If you wear coordinating blush, lips, and nails, the pink will bring out your skin’s cooler (lighter) tones. If you have warm/yellow undertones, go for warm shades like hot pink and fuchsia. If you have cool undertones, go for blue-based and/or pastel pinks.
2. A champagne sheen is the way to go. Now that you know how to make pink work for you, you have to take it up a notch by creating radiant-from-within skin. Capture the light by using fine-textured highlighters that are practically invisible (not white, but champagne-colored); the more light you catch on your face, the brighter and fairer it looks.
How to highlight and bring light to your face
3. Don’t cover up your skin with a heavy blanket of foundation - use BB creams or tinted moisturizers to allow your fair skin to show through! BB creams and TMs are sheer so they won’t make your face look like a chalkboard, as long as you blend them in properly. They can instantly make your face and neck look fairer by blending with your natural color and creating a lighter one. Remember, blending is key!
So there! These tips are simple and hella effective. ;) You should definitely try them if you want to bring out your naturally fair skin. Of course, aside from makeup you should also pay attention to your overall skincare. Try Palmolive Naturals White & Moisture - it has natural ingredients of Papaya and Songyi Mushroom Extracts, and helps give whiter skin in one week*.

I think this is your best look yet. :) You look fresh and very pretty.
These are great tips. I can't use them, though, because I'm morena! LOL! I'll share to my tisay friends na lang.
And, I agree. You look smashing here, Liz!
Ms. Liz, where'd you get your polka-dotted top? I LOVE IT!
Thanks for the tips! You're a gem. :)
i can only say this "gumaganda ka, pramis!"
the pink tip is sooo true! applies even to just wearing a pink top; it gives you a healthy glow even without makeup. :)
i'm so in love with your milani blush. <3
This post was really helpful liz! I never thought I could pull off wearing pink eyeshadow. - and to think, im very fair actually. lol. I'll give this a try. thanks liz! :)

Nah, BB creams and tinted moisturizers are only for people with flawless or near flawless skin like yourself. People like me need slightly higher coverage to hide all the acne scars, pigmentation, etc. Not forgetting concealer as well.
Wew! You look very pretty in any make-up you wear. Promise! You look very simple <3
I agree with Jin. This is your look(the last photo). You look radiant with that make-up. and it's the kind of make-up that doesn't look suffocating..
it's very pleasing to the eyes. ganda tingnan talaga. Some really have it wrong, parang sinabugan ng colorete na ewan. I hope they get to see this post of yours. Keep it up!
