Lets Talk About skin Care, Beauty And Health Tips

I dyed my hair black and I'm pretty fair skinned. I had natural red and dark brown hair before. I don't want to dye my hair again, but because by hair is so dark it makes my face look really pale and stand out more. What make up or colors should I wear to not make wearing make up look bad? Anything will help. Thanks!

Answer
Hello! :)
I did the exact same thing a few months ago when attempting to dye my dark brown hair a darker shade of chocolate brown, the ending result was actually just pure black. At the time I was quite worried about how it didn't suit my fair skintone but now I've become more used to it and quite like the colour that its faded too [still very close to black, but now more of a very dark brown with reddish highlights when its in the light].

Here are a few look and make up tips that I would recommand for you :)..

Natural Look:

Face -
- To add a hint of natural looking colour to fair skin, choose a shade of blush that is subtle and fresh such as a peachy colour, or alternatively a facial bronzing powder in a light warm golden brown tone. Apply to the apples of your cheeks using a soft rounded make up brush, buffing onto your skin in circular motions to achieve a healthy, natural looking glow.
I would recommand Maybelline Mineral Blush in True Peach, Bourjois Little Pot Blush in Lune d'or 35 or for bronzing, Bourjois Chocolate Blocks Bronzer.

Eyes -
- Curl eyelashes for a more wide open eye appearence and apply one or two coats of black or dark brown mascara to the top and bottom lashes. Black mascara worn with black hair will make eyelashes stand out even more and frame the eyes beautifully in a natural way. Use a white eyeliner pencil to trace along the eyes waterline and also around the edges of the inner corner [the tear duct] to give your eyes a fresh, sparkling, wide awake look :) Apply natural looking eyeshadow that compliment your skin tone, such as beiges, very light browns, peaches or light greys. Use a highlighting powder in white or light cream and dust lightly underneath your eyebrow arch, following your eyebrows natural shape and blend in.

Lips -
- For the most natural look, apply a clear lipgloss to your lips, daubing a little more in the middle of the lower lip to give the illusion of fuller lips. For more colour, apply a tinted lipgloss with tones of peaches and very light pinks. Lipbalm such as cherry or cocoa butter will also give lips a natural, healthy looking shine.

Try not to worry too much about the colour of your hair and spend more time experimenting with new hair styles that compliment you and your style, and love your hair for the way that it is now. Take ultimate care of your hair with shampoos and deep conditioners that enhance shine to add to your healthy, natural look :) Work with the colour and do what feels right for you and your specific style, try out different colours at beauty and drugstore make up counters and see what you think and what feels good.

I hope I helped as much as possible! :)
Take care x

P.s. Just incase you're interested, you mentioned not wanting to dye your hair again [which is a good decision for your hairs health! :)] L'oreal have a product called Casting Creme Gloss which is a no-ammonia [it does not lighten or darken it in anyway], semi permanent colour/colour enhancer that adds more shine to your hair, and brings out natural highlights. They recently launched the Glossy Blacks collection, which will add very subtle shades of red and gold shininess <3

May be more beautiful and smart somebody with more money than you?

Is this fair and what's the chance of a poor kid being smarter and even more pretty than the rich one?

Answer
I don't know whether or not this is fair. But the chances of a rich person being prettier (and i'm talking about natural beauty) is much higher, simply because beauty is enhanced by health (darwins theory: survival of the fittest, people are attracted to healthier/stronger people & attraction = beauty). Rich people are healthier because they have better access to quality food, and great living conditions.

To be smarter, you need two things: motivation and good health (for proper brain function). Poor kids tend to have motivation, but rich kids may have family expectations to be well talented, so I think that evens out.

This is why Europeans are prettier and were seen as a superior race (I know its not really a race), whereas as people in third world countries are normally uglier, they have poor health and tend to be smaller.
