ok, i reccommend a bronze color...it is summery, fresh, and makes all your positive features pop!!! I have the same (based on your description) basic look and this works great for me:::
I use estee lauder basic foundation...i love i cuz its light an covers every imperfection and only wears after a LONG day
then use any type of light light light blush...victoria secret has a gorgeous light pink shimmery blush that I love
next use a bronzer...suger travel bronzer is my fav because its 22 dollars and has a ton and gives you that beachy look...but only apply a little or you will look too dark
then apply too faced eyeshadow (it is creme and brown) blend the two then apply a line either on your top or bottom lid...the top is for sexy and cute, the bottom is totally in for the summer and its a hit with stylists everywhere
then use any mascara that you like...estee lauder, maybelene, and chanel work good for me
lastly use a lip gloss...I recommend putting foundation on your lip to give you a fresh palette and it helps the lip gloss stay longer. I like clear or a light pink...if you want color, get a darker color because the foundation lightens it up
this look looks really cute and it is trendy and fun...I hope it works for you
