honestly, i don't think the problem was your skin color, it was the bronzer you bought, cause it was probably not the correct bronzer for your skin tone. maybe try some other brands from different drugstores and you'll find the one that suits you best. i definitely think you should wear bronzer even if you think your tan is not tan enough, because anyone looks better w/ some contouring around their face! ^-^

experiment w/ different makeup brushes and techniques to apply your bronzer, and i guarantee eventually you'll get the hang of it and look purdy without that yucky orange tint to your face.

as for eyeshadow, go with none! less creases in the eye area. if you had put on eyeshadow though, try some bold colors to direct people's attention to your blue eyes ;p

lip gloss...DEF a light rosy pink or scarlet, w/ a glittery shimmer.

i can't decide clothes for you since i don't know your style, but i'd say skinny jeans, a cute long blouse, and a pastel-colored cardigan looks good on everyone. watch some DIY vids on youtube for a tutorial on how to make an ADORABLE peter pan collar as an accent for your outfit.

on an ending note, if you are naturally attractive, NO ONE will notice what your skin color is.. <3 i'm pale just like you, but i'm also paler than everyone in my class. nobody's mentioned it to me. don't worry about it!

Tan skin is really just what Americans find 'beautiful' but really it won't make you look any better than you already do, if you are naturally an attractive person.

In places like China, it is a good thing to be pale, because that represents royalty and/or wealth, whereas tanned skin makes you look like you are poor and would have a low-class job such as being a farmer or working outside.

Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder. Some people prefer lighter skin whereas others would prefer darker skin, but really, you don't need to try to please anybody buy yourself. And you should really be proud of what you were born with.

Porcelain dolls are always pale, and that's not a coincidence, because pale skin tends to look cleaner, fresher, and younger than tanned skin. I'd say keep your skin the color it is and be proud of it.

As far as eyeshadow goes, I would stick with light colors such has lavender, baby blue, gold, or a pale green color depending on your outfit for the day. Any kind of clothes would look good but if you're going for the 'porcelain' look I would stick with cute dresses that are all bright and youthful looking.

Use a very light bronzer. Scratch that, don't even use bronzer. Get a face powder that is designed for darker skinned women. This will give you more of a tan glow, rather than an orangy patch.

Nude shadow, all the way. Browns and nudes will make your eyes pop!

Try contouring your cheek bones to really help(:

I'm like the same exact way! skin tone and everything!

When I use bronzer, i usually just use it to contour my face and then lightly brush it all over my face, if i try to use a lot to make my face look tan it just looks blotchy and gross.

As for the eyeshadow, metallic colors make blue eyes pop ESPECIALLY copper! thats like my favorite! Maybelline has really good cream shadows and i like bad to the bronze! it really makes my blue eyes pop!

Hope this helped and good luck with the bronzer! (:

I think you should stick to pale. Also, light blue eyeshadow, red lipgloss, and skinny jeans with a tanktop

bronzer isn't the way to go for you. only because bronzer is always so dark.
