Some women are born with fair, creamy complexions, while some need help to get that look. Ditch the bronzer, spray tan and tinted moisturizer and rock your porcelain-looking skin like nobody's business. The key to the milky look is healthy, hydrated skin with an even complexion. You've got to protect that porcelain face from the sun to prevent tanning and damage, then use makeup to smooth and even out coloration. From there it's all about soft pinks and doll-like makeup to seal the deal.

1.

Massage exfoliant over your face and neck using circular motions. Scrub away dead skin cells to reveal fresh, healthy skin. Rinse thoroughly.

2.

Smooth sunblock, SPF30, over your face and neck. Wear sunblock every day to prevent sun damage and tanning. Keep that skin fair and milky!

3.

Dip your brush into the foundation and blend over your whole face. Use a full-coverage foundation that is one shade lighter than your natural face color. This will give you that flawless, fair complexion.

4.

Swirl your brush in the powder then tap off excess. Choose a powder that is matte and at least one shade lighter than your natural complexion. Buff the powder into your face. This will lock the foundation in place and give your skin an airbrushed, porcelain look.

5.

Pick up some soft pink blush on your powder brush. Sweep the color over the apples of your cheeks. Pink is the perfect complement to milky skin. It gives your face a natural flush and pretty contrast.

6.

Line your lips carefully with a scarlet lip liner. Liner really makes your pout pop by creating a sharp contrast between your skin and your lips. Fill in both lips with the liner after lining to give your lipstick lasting power.

7.

Apply a red lipstick. Red contrasts most dramatically with porcelain skin, making it look even more fair and creamy.

8.

Sweep on a coat of mascara to open eyes and finish the look.
