Which brand & color lipstick & blush are the best for a very fair complexion?

I tend to find ones that are too harsh, too dark or ones that wash me out too much. My cheeks have a pink undertone. I have red hair, but not super red. Thanks!Which brand %26amp; color lipstick %26amp; blush are the best for a very fair complexion?
As one person above me suggested, lipglosses and tinted chapsticks are the way to go if you want minimal color. I personally don't like glosses as much now because I don't like the stickyness of it. I would suggest going to a MAC counter to look for lippies -- with the huge array of lipsticks they have, I'm sure you'll find one that suits you! If you don't want a strong-colored lipstick, try going for the Lustre or Glaze formulas. Maybe you can try Bobbi Brown too, since they're known for their natural makeup (but I've read reviews saying their lipsticks aren't as good, idk, you should try it for yourself before judging!). As for blush, I'll say Shu Uemura's Glow On Brush is great -- very sheer, natural looking colors, which would look great on your fair skin. Good luck! Which brand %26amp; color lipstick %26amp; blush are the best for a very fair complexion?
Use lip gloss, not lip stick, or tinted chap stick. It keeps away the harsh color, and looks more natural (and shiny, in the case of lip gloss). Try some of the lower-quality brands like Rimmel or Mary-Kate and Ashley. They work just as well, but don't have as strong of pigments, so the color doesn't show up as much. Also, Claire's brand make up is more subtle (they design it keeping little kids in mind), and if you already have a pink undertone in your cheeks, try just rubbing a lotion on them to keep your complexion soft, and using shimmer or glow powder to give a healthy shine.
Uh! I know exactly how you feel!





Red seems to be a winner, and if you have ever seen a picture of Marylin Monroe, you will know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Red lipstick with a fair complexion seems to ooze that non chalant rarity and elgance... so give it a go!





Remember, all reds were NOT created equally!


For a fair complexion, cool reds are reccomended. I know that sounds kinda weird, but this is where a lot of women make a vital mistake! 'Cool' reds are blue-based such as cranberry or wine, and suit women with rosier undertones. 'Warm' reds are most suited to tan undertones.





If you're skin has undertones of pink,(as you described) violet or blue, it is best to choose make up with similar undertones. Warm undertones ie yellow, are not flattering and cause the washed out look.





Narrow down your search! Here are some more defined descriptions i found on a website:





For dark beige and bronze skin:





- a deep cool red lipstick with a burgundy tone is perfect for you.





For ivory and light beige:





- I recommend a cool true red. However, if you have a very fair complexion, look for a red with a pink tint to it.





For pale skin %26amp; red hair:





- Very pale with freckles, and burns easily you have pink (WARM)undertones.





- choose terracotta reds or deep brick reds which complement skin and hair. Avoid: blue reds.





Medium skin, mid-brown hair:





- choose COOL reds such as berry reds or deep raspberry. Avoid: tomato reds.








Fair skin, blonde to brown hair:





- you have mostly pink undertones. - try blue-red lipsticks as these make skin appear creamier. Avoid: terracotta reds.





Olive skin, brown hair:





- Go for tomato reds or deep burgundies to make skin look brighter. Avoid: blue-reds.





Try to keep your blush and eye shadow to a minimum, as you don't want to end up looking like a drag queen!








Lise Waltier is a good idea for fair complexions, but i suppose it depend on your opinion and a bit of trial and error... good luck!
