10 Beauty Tricks For Blondes

Whether you're thinking about going blonde or you were naturally born with the light locks, finding the perfect shades of makeup that work with your hair color can be hard. Sometimes darker eyeliners look too harsh, and other times bronzers make your skin look orangey. You could leave the house barefaced and still totally kill it, of course, but there are a few makeup tips for blondes that look especially cool if when you have light colored hair.

Finding the right shades for you doesn't have to be such a struggle, and you don't have to limit yourself to less-than-thrilling makeup just because your hair is light. You want to accentuate your golden hair, but you also want to make a statement when it comes to your beauty look. Makeup becomes much more enjoyable if you just have fun with it, so it's time to take some beauty risks with a dramatic smokey eye or a fun neon look. You can always go a bit more natural, too, by amping up your glow from within with a peachy highlight.

Once you figure out which shades look best on you, you'll have a much easier time experimenting with all the amazing looks you can achieve.
