I don't see why not just do something to make your eyes pop

Hmm, I've heard that before too, but I haven't even tried a brighter pink lipstick! I usually use darker reds or plums. Recently I've been really tempted to buy, like, the nudey brown shades, but I haven't seen many pale people wear those.

Yeah I would suggest avoiding dark tans/brown nudes they can make you look older on pale skin and look more washed out- try using a concealer lightly over lips and a light pink or nude lip lightly - I know Mac angel is a very good shade to check into, flattering on so many skin tones- I have pretty fair skin and Kate moss matte lip stick in shade 113 is nude and not too dark- also nyx pale pink is a good light pinky nude that's good on fair complexions- &revlons colorstay gloss jn peach petal is a must have! its a gorgeous light nude pink and very versitile! And you should look into revlon's primrose - this isn't a nude but more like a Mauvy blue pink that is soooo gorgeous on pale skin tones!! It would seriously look so good on you!! :)

Maybelline color whisper in Shade 10, "Bare to be Bold". I have this and I have pale skin. I get compliments all the time.

It's such a pretty color!! Another similar one is demure by revlon- very pretty but much more pink! And aleighnna- I just saw your post on a different fav lipstick thread but have you ever looked into cover girls enchantress? I swatched it for you here's a picture of it - I'm a terrible swatcher and picture taker but I had to put the flash on so you could fully see how gorgeous this color is!! And btw there isn't any shimmer in this like it looks like there is-!! This is such a pretty color with a great creamy satin glossy finish without being too much!

No it's not sheer at all it's the flash- there's a better picture its very pigmented- that's like two swipes on my hand which I have mad lotion on right now too lol.

Also a good nude gloss is revlon's colorburst gloss in Bellini and the other is essence in nude candy this picture doesn't really do them justice but they're both very nude and pigmented and pretty on my fair skin!

No deff no problem! I had to hunt this down I saw it online and my local cvs didn't have any left for weeks so it must be pretty popular or they don't order it a lot- but I'm right there with you I think honestly this is the only cover girl thing I own, yeah it is but it was so pretty and cheap and bright I had to buy it! And no the swatches are no big deal seriously I just wish my bedroom lighting was better or my iPhone would take better pictures cause I feel like its a lot prettier in person!

Don't you think the nude candy is a total dupe of nars Turkish delight?! To me it is slightly more pink but its soo similar and doesn't smell like plastic like theirs do.. I love most everything essence even though I don't have much of their stuff. But they're shadows are really pigmented!

Haha yeah I am really fair naturally I just fake bake to all hell- I use a gradual tanner daily and I live in Florida so I can tan all year round- but in person I'm not that tan- ESP these past 8 months with being pregnant it's pretty hard to tan now- though I have a spray tanning gun at home that I make my boyfriend spray me down ESP since I can just barely reach my feet so using the self tanning lotion has become quite the challenge lol I just love to tan, and I think it's because I hate being pale I just look really washed out since I have blonde hair or maybe I just feel that way? Idk lol but I know a lot of tips to making myself darker and looking tan even if I'm not, hehe!! ;)
