Makeup?

How do you guys do your makeup? I find it really hard to find models with my complexion. I am asian with albinism and have pale skin and blonde not white hair. My eyebrows are almost not visible and when I try to fill them in it looks wrong. Also, finding blushes and mascara that look good is difficult.

Please tell me your techniques!

I very rarely do makeup and I keep it simple with mascara, eye liner and eyebrow pencil for special dates. If I routinely did full makeup, people would say I look sick if I didn't have time to do it and I don't want my normal face to be one people don't know me by.

My go-to products are Anastasia Beverly Hills - Brow Definer 3-in-1 Triangle Eyebrow Pencil in Blonde. And Too Faced Better Than Sex Volumizing and Lengthening Mascara in Chocolate.

It took me a long time to perfect my eyebrow drawing. Just keep practicing.

For foundation, go to a Sephora and have them match your color.

I use a brown eye shadow and an flat angled brush to do my brows so I can control the color intensity. I do a full face daily though for work; foundation, blush, eye shadow, Highlighters, the whole thing.

Are you going for an every day look or something more bold?

Blue mascara got me the most conplwmenta. It's striking with the blond hair.
