Not all cosmetic colors complement every hair color, so, if you've got golden locks, follow these makeup tips for blondes.
Since blondes can have a wide range of skin tones, be sure to match your foundation to your skin. If you can, opt for a formula with a pink undertone, which will provide contrast and bring a natural rosy flush to your face. A sheer opalescent shimmer can add a sexy glow to brow bones and cheek bones. Pair it with a rose and pink blush for a fresh look. But, if you want to play up that golden-girl, beachy image stick to warm colors. Bronzers can give you a sun-kissed surfer babe look, and apricot, coral and peach blushes will add to the warm feel.
Soft, luminous colors as well as cream, golden and taupe eye shadows are universally flattering for all blondes, but, if you want to have more fun (as blondes do), try selecting shades that contrast your eye color. Blue-eyed blondes look great in shadows that are peachy-pink, beige-pink, light pink, bronze, champagne and muted mauves. Cover green or hazel eyes in soft purples, mauve, bronze-green, brown-green, soft violet or light pink. And brown eyes can pull off just about any color, including greens, blues, purples and pinks. If your lashes have blonde tips, be sure to sweep a black or dark brown mascara over them to give them more definition.
When it comes time for lips, think pink. Just about any hue of the girly color will work, including golden raspberry, sandy pink, mauve and shimmering peachy pink.
