Make-up question help

I have never really worn that much make-up.

Since I have gotten older I look like it need it.
I have been looking so pale and older these days.

I am as fair as Casper the ghost. What can I put on that's quick and that will brighten me up? Especially the darkness under my eyes?

I hate looking overdone or taking too long putting on make-up.

My friend suggested bronzer but I think that is too dark for me.

Suggestions??

Thanks

smashbox 'camera ready' concealer for under the eyes... and laura mercier oil-free tinted moisturizer, and i think that would be perfect for you! it's nice and light.

or there's always bare escentuals if you like the feeling of not wearing any make up. i use the two products above and bare escentuals blush and eye shadow.

Bare Escentuals Warmth really gives the skin a natural glow. It looks dark in the container but youre only supposed to use a tiny bit on the brush. A little bit goes a long way with Bare Escentuals.

Warmth never worked for me-looks dirty on my skin but if you're fair it might do well but use it SPARINGLY-little goes a long way.

Try the products from Benefits and the concealer THE BALM from Sephora. All great stuff.

Hey Jen!!!!!!! You can get a light colored bronzer for fair skin, as you know Im white white white. Also a little blush goes a long way. I like this stuff called O Glow, it adjusts to your natural coloring. YOu can get it at Sephora. How are you lady??????

Oh you stop I love pale skin!!! I think its beautiful. I hear bare minerals has a good one. Most cosmetic companies make a few colors, just ask for the lightest one. Also apply with a BIG fluffy brush so it goes on nice and natural. HTH Im great, preparing for my 'day' after trash the dress shoot, even though I have been married almost 2 years lol. Its now or never :)

I think you should make some rounds at the makeup counters and see if the people at them can give you some help. Maybe they can show you what to use for your skin color and type so you dont look overdone. Maybe check out clinique and Bobbi Brown, Perscriptives and Bare Escentuals.

I like Benefit Benetint. You can put a few dots on your cheeks and you get a nice rosy color. You can also use it on your lips as a stain. It is very light and smells like roses.
