I'm assuming when women have bonded over make-up, its time to get on a first name basis. Hah!
You are brilliant to have come up with this. Okay. First, I may have mislead you, what I meant was get a really good foundation that matches your skin exactly. I think you would have to trial and error at the CVS or just go get the good stuff and be done with it.Most of the make-up I buy is cheap, but some things I can't do without! Oh! I think we have exactly the same skin tone. It is hard! Everything is made for pinkish pale. I think you would really like that Bare Mineral "warmth" if you can get your hands on it.
Here's my everyday (10 minutes max) Neutrogena under eye cream (or whatever you like) Neutrogena 3-in-1 Concealer for eyes. The one I bought is even to pale for my ghostly white skin "light 10", I'd go one darker. This next is GREAT if you're in a hurry: Cover Girl eye enhancers (3-pk eyeshadow) #110 Shimmering sands. Really pretty with blond hair! I rarely use the darkest, but light under brow and medium on rest. Then use the light a little over brow and in corners of eyes!
I don't know if you like colors, my eyes are blue, but my niece stole this from ME!! Her eyes are brown.(She's breathtaking) Take a blue pencil and line bottom lid, I use maybelline dusky navy or whatever I have laying around. Do you have brushes? A MUST. A small flat brush. Do you have Cosco? I got a cheap Pack of good brushes there. THEN...take your brush and wipe it across Covergirl eyeshadow in violet frappe(or closest you can find) and reline your eyes OVER the blue liner. It will set it forever.
I could do this ALL day but alas, no-one cares what I look like right now so off I go to clean...Yuk.
I'll be going back to work soon too (scary) so I will refer to this sight so I feel *Sparkly*
