As always, your fellow readers are counting on you to answer their beauty questions. Here are a few to start with:
Blush. As someone who’s extremely pasty, I could probably benefit from some, but I’ve never been able to find any/apply it in a manner that didn’t make me look like a clown.
I’d like to know how pale people like me can avoid looking so pasty/sickly. There are plenty of pale celebrities out there who look great – KStew, Cate Blanchet, Winona Ryder etc. If I put blusher on I look too made up. Natural but not sickly, what’s the deal?
what exactly is bronzer and how does one use it. i got it in my makeup caboodle along with blush and i dont think there’s enough room on my face for both. please advise. also can you use it if you are brown (as i am) and how?
