Favorite Fall Pieces for Fair Skin with Cool Undertones

Looking for a few pieces to punch up your beautiful porcelain with cool undertones? Here's a few of my favorites!

Yellow faux fur jacket, $66, asos

I'm in love with this jacket. Probably because it screams "fall" and I love fall. 

Cap-sleeve shirttail blouse, $88, J. Crew

This is so easy breazy. If you live in California like me, you can get away with just this for fall. Otherwise, you may need a jacket - I love this one. 

Altuzarra for Target Satin Dress Orchid Print- Purple, $50, Target

Target has upped their game so much, it's astounding. My jaw dropped when I saw this dress, it is stunning!

Kendra Dress, $425, Tory Burch

Navy is my absolute favorite neutral. The only thing better than navy is more navy. This stunning dress has navy dots, and it is so perfect for fall, I can hardly stand it.

Thermal cowl neck sweater, Michael Kors, $100

This deep sea green sweater is so perfect and cozy for fall and winter. 

Happy shopping!

Hair, brows, lashes, cheeks, lips - we porcelains have to consider it all. I love these tips from Pink & Black on how to make your porcelain pop.

7 Red and Wine Lip Colors for Pale Skin

Oh red and wine lipsticks, you are so tricky for us pale girls. What looks good on the masses can look clownish, orange-ish, or garish on us. But they are so beautiful, glamorous and sexy. I have quite a few lip colors in reds and wines that I love.

Here's the lineup on my skin, which is cool-toned

Here are a few of my favorites:


 

 Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick Pearl, Spicy Cinnamon

This is a nice, creamy formula that shows up more wine-colored on my cool-toned skin. It has just a hint of shimmer, and is perfect for a night out on the town!

   

Giorgio Armani,Rouge d'Armani Lasting Satin Lip Color # 400 Red

I'm pretty sure that the saleswoman at Neimans was ready to kill me when she helped me find this one. I was on a mission to find Estee Lauder's Extravagant Berry, which was making the rounds all over Pinterest over last holiday. Gorgeous, isn't it?

I knew it wasn't going to happen when the Estee Lauder lady gave me a confused look. Alas, it was seasonal. So then I embarked on a journey of finding something I liked just as much. About 23 lipsticks later, I found Armani's d'Armani #400. It is stunning. So far I've worn it to a wedding and date night with the hubby. It's gorgeous.

  

OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE COSMETICS Metallic Lip Tar, Super NSFW 

I love the color, it is very rich and bold. My only gripe is that it has no stay power and slips and slides all over my lips. And when it is a bold color and fair skin, it becomes really obvious. So my advice: don't wear it on a windy day or if you're going to eat a lot.

  

Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick, Top Tomato 

This is a stunning scarlet color, with a touch of shimmer. It stays pretty well for lip gloss, and is a great choice for a night out with girls, sipping sangria. YUM.

   

MAC Lipstick DUBONNET 

This is one of my favorites! Nothing makes me feel more glam than sliding Mac Dubonnet across my lips. It is a beautiful red against pale skin, especially when paired with a black outfit. It's a stunning, classic look.

 

 Christian Dior Addict Fluid Stick, # 869 

This is a bold, but beautiful look. It borders on a rust color, and is the perfect fall color. Just staring at a glob of it on the end of the applicator makes me want to run through a pile of leaves, or sip on a pumpkin spice latte. It would be especially stunning if contrasted with clothing in gorgeous fall colors such as yellows, greens, burgundies and purples.

   

REVLON Colorburst Lip Butter, Red Velvet

I'm so in love with both this color and this product. This product is aptly named as "butter." It is like butter, sliding smoothly across your lips and having that perfect sheen: not to wet so that it looks like gloss, but more shine than lipstick. Basically, that "just licked my lips" look. The color is a beautiful wash of sheer red. I would wear this on a fun night out with friends, or, for you non-single gals, a fun, casual first date.

I'd love to hear from you! What are your favorite reds and wines for pale skin?

Do you know how to SPOT skin cancer?

While porcelains are not the only ones who can be damaged by the harmful effects of the sun, we certainly take a good beating.

The American Academy of Dermatology  has a nifty little quiz you can take to see just how sun savvy you are. You even get a cute little Certificate of Achievement

Take the quiz, tell me how you did :)

Best makeup for pale skin

I'm such a makeup whore. There are very few beauty products to which I'm devoted because I'm constantly in search for something better. That's how my husband knows that he's truly the best; because he knows I don't settle for anything other than what is perfect for me :).

I'm in love with this post from Hairspray & High Heels. Especially because I LOVE hairspray and high heels. I will say, I tried the Dream Lumi by Maybelline and, while it didn't work well on my skin with red undertones, I think it would be amazing on those blessed with non-red. Check it out!

9 Best Contouring Products for Pale Skin

I love the Phyrra blog for exactly 2 reasons

1. She is a true Porcelain, so understands our special makeup needs
2. Her makeup suggestions are cruelty free, and some are vegan

Contouring as a porcelain is tough because many bronzers or contouring products look orange, or make our skin look dirty. But we want to contour, too!

Phyrra to the rescue. Check out her awesome suggestions!
