Now a blonde but paler than ever, help!

I used to have brown/ombré hair but after a nice day out at the hairdressers yesterday I now have golden blonde all over. Not used to being blonde and people say it suits me but I can't help but see a pale fool when I look in the mirror. I'm pale anyway but it really stands out now. I put more bronzer on my cheeks this morning and it made me go orange which did not look good! Can anyone suggest a decent bronzer (don't mind price) or a good face spray tan in a bottle? I have one here which works well (think it's L'Oréal) but it made my skin break out before so I stopped using it.

Also can anyone suggest eyeshadow/lipstick colours/brands to go with the blonde hair, pale skin and brown with a hint of green eyes? Again don't mind price as long as it's not extortionate!

Thanks very much :)

If you are very pale the too faced milk chocolate is excellent and not too dark. Also really enjoying Estee Lauder bronze goddess which in the packaging looks like it would be far too dark for me but can be lightly applied and built

Body Shop bronzer Its good for pale skin and is very buildable and not at all orange.

Hi, I'm very pale and after I get my highlights redone I always feel even paler. Boots have a decent bronzer - the palest one. However, I tend to use a bronzer coloured blush from MAC. It's subtle. The clarins face fake tan drops are superb.

You can buy Tan Luxe drops that you mix in with your usual moisturiser that are fantastic.
I feel your pain. I'm naturally blonde and pale and would love dark hair but I just can't go there, I look too weird.

To be honest, if you are needing make-up after highlights you don't have the right colour on your hair. Your hair should compliment your skin. Very few people are genuinely suited to light blonde.

Bobbi Brown bronzer is great - no shimmer.

You might also want to check out -if feeling flush - the Chanel Les Beiges powders.

I also love bronze and glow from Charlotte Tilbury (light/med colourway).

The bronzer is "pearl" rather than shimmer. The highlight is also lovely not just on the face but collar bones etc.

Finally, I have the 6 palette ambient lighting powders from Hourglass. I love it. 3 powders, 2 blush and one bronzer. I'm not sure if you can still get it though.

I'm paleish and none of the above make me look orange.

I'm blonde with green eyes - I'll post some other make up tomorrow.
