Hi. I'm Kendra Richards, professional makeup artist, and today I'm going to show you how to choose makeup colors for fair skin. So, with my clients, for a spring look, I love to use something very natural and fresh, with a little bit of shimmer. So, I'm going to use the Color Design Palette in Sunset Fling by Lancome and these colors are really going to bring out the blues. I'm going to begin by taking that base shadow over the entire lid and that creates a great palette to then lay down the eye color. And next, I'm going to take this beautiful, shimmery gold and I'm going to apply that over the entire eyelid area as well. And then, next, I'm going to use this beautiful melon color. I love that. I'm going to start right at the center of her eye and carry it out to the middle of her eye and that adds a beautiful brightness to this look. And, then, I'm going to finish it with this gorgeous rust color that I'm going to really focus on the outer edge of her eye. This will help elongate her eye and really give the look of an elongated eye. This is a trick I use on everybody that sits in my chair that has blue or sort of greenish-blue eyes because it really accentuates the color. And then, lastly, I'm going to use this beautiful purple color for an eyeliner that, right at the base of the lashes, is going to give great definition to her lashes. Purple is also a great color to help pop blue eyes. So, you can see all of the colors I'm using are working towards getting me to my goal of really showing off her fantastic blue eyes. And you can really see how much her eye color is popping on this side versus the eye I haven't done. What I love about doing makeup for a spring look is the freshness, the brightness. You get to put away all the dark colors and pull out some fresh, natural colors that add a softness to your look. So, as you can see, I've finished up Ingrid's look. She looks soft, very spring-like, and I've complimented her eyes with a beautiful, peachy lip gloss. So, that's how to choose spring colors for fair skin. I'm Kendra Richards, thanks for watching.
