If you love fairytales just like we do, then you’d know it well which fairytale princess you’d be! Surely your mom wished you upon snow and the crimson of her blood! Good guess there!
Being born with fair skin tone you must have come across mixed compliments or comments like “oh you’re so pretty!” or “aww you look so pale!” Chill Girl! No matter what people say, you’re just gorgeous!
Well, on another note, being fair comes with its own pros and cons. Pros; we’ll get to that, but let’s start with the bad news... just like broccoli before your dessert (winks!)
Makeup tips for fair skin tone
Just like how being fair means being flawless, it also means that you’re more prone to marks and long-lasting acne scars that might be there forever. Lighter skin tone tends to show the scars deeper and make your pigmentation appear clearer.
So, the best solution? Well, like our forefathers once said, “prevention is better than cure!” And how do we prevent these nasty guests from coming in uninvited? We’ll tell you how...
Make sure you use a face wash that is mild and sulphate free. Face washes like these are gentle on the skin and they clean out dirt, grease and pollutants; keeping your skin clean and happy. For this, Iba’s Vitamin C Face Wash would be just perfect for you.
Next step is to use a moisturizer that not only keeps your skin hydrated but also prevents pimples and acne from appearing just before that well planned family function. Advanced Activs Crystal Clear 48HR Hydrating and Acne Fighting Aloe Vera Gel is just the pick for you.
Here’s one extra top-tip: no matter what skin tone or type you have; toning is one ritual that you really need to add to your regime. Toning keeps your pores at bay and cleanses any form of excess sebum production that makes your skin oily. Advanced Activs Crystal Clear Skin Rejuvenating Aloe Vera Serum Toner would be just perfect and the best thing about this is that you can use it in two ways – a toner as well as a serum! Jackpot! You’re Welcome!

For other times like occasions or festivals you can go for darker browns or a smokey look that enhances your entire face. You can also finish off your entire eye makeup with your mascara for a dramatic look. On other days when you don’t want to wear any kind of eye makeup and yet you want to look your vibrant best, you can then choose a bunch of coloured eyeliners that will instantly give your face the makeover that it deserves.

Sometimes even fair skin tone has pigmentations, marks, dark spots, or dark circles which need colour correction before your base makeup. For fair skin tone you can use either a pink or a peach colour corrector.
2.For fair skin tone which is better – contour or bronzer?
If you want a sharp and chiselled look then we recommend you go for contouring. But if you want a warm and yet a sharp look then a bronzer is good enough.
