- To give it "color" use blush. Cold peach combined with light pink will give pale skin a soft blush. A radiant blush will give a product from the Alliance Perfect Le Blush collection.
- Do not replace blush with bronzer, highlighter or any other means for clear contouring. Bronzer can be used by girls with a round face type.
- For a velvety finish, choose translucent loose powder. Can be used on creambasis.
- A dark pencil is not suitable for light eyebrows. Gray or taupe would be ideal.
