For those of you with blonde hair, what make up do you use?

Having recently finished my hair transition from dark brown to a more natural golden blonde, I now need some advice on make up which won't leave me looking red/orange. I do already use a liquid foundation which was matched to my skin tone.

Open to some suggestions please, especially on the best colours to suit and what brands you find are the best.

Thank you in advance.

Is golden blonde your natural colour? In theory changing your hair colour shouldn't affect the makeup colours which naturally suit you - it's best to use your eyebrows as a guide. eg if you have dark eyebrows and cool colouring then the colours which suit that will still suit you even if you lighten your hair.

Black eyeliner & mascara can look a bit harsh for every day wear. A dark brown eyeliner and brown/black mascara is usually a better daytime look with blonde hair.
I use a rimmel brown kohl pencil and max factor 2000 calorie mascara in brown/black. My hair ranges from dark to light blonde depending on the season (I use a darker blonde dye in winter, mid blonde autumn/spring & light in summer)

I use Clinique - Brown Lash Power Mascara,Chubby Sticks eye pencil in lilac and Chubby Sticks lip pencil in a clear pink.Generally the lighter you go the less vivid the make up.

I have blonde hair but I favour a bold retro look-so very pale foundation,well defined eyebrows filled in with brown pencil,lots of black mascara.pink blush and either a red,,bright pink or a burgundy lip.
