Make Up Recommendations - Cool Skin Tone

3 replies

MakeOverNeeded · 16/03/2025 17:37

I'm hoping you lovely people can help me. I'm not great at makeup, and knowing what colours suit me. I need to make some changes as I discovered I've been wearing foundation for the wrong skin tone, and now I'm getting older the matte look I used to like isn't working. I went to the Charlotte Tilbury counter but they didn't have any foundation that was fair enough for me so I decided to do a bit more research, and to be honest I'm a bit overwhelmed.

I am fair skinned, with cool undertones, blue / grey eyes, and blonde hair. If anyone has any recommendations for makeup I'd really appreciate it.

And after I get my make up sorted I will try again to work out what my season is so I can get clothes that better suit me!

Have you followed Sali Hughes on Instagram? She has fair skin with blue/green eyes and posts quite a lot about cool toned makeup.

I have similar undertones to you and found good matches with Lisa Eldridge and Chanel (for Chanel, look for 'BR' tones - these are the rosy/cool ones)

Trinny. I really struggle with foundation and have managed to find the right colour macth with trinny.

I have also managed to find a l'oreal one - although it works better when I mix it with the glotion.

Eye shadow can be tricky. Individual mac shadows are good. I have had good success with max factor on cheaper end.
