- Try using water-based foundations or cc creams, they tend to oxidize less. Also, try micing a dark shade and a light shade foundation to get your perfect match.

Indian Diwali Makeup Hacks For Wheatish Skin
Don’t go overboard with foundation and concealer
Less is always more for wheatish skinned beauties. One of the most basic mistakes people make is choosing the wrong color foundation. Going a shade lighter can be forgiven for lighter skin tones, but for your guys, it’s an absolute no..no.. if you don’t want to end up looking like the joker. Choose a foundation shade that an exact or the closest match to your skin tone. If you cannot find your shade they try mixing two shades most celebrities mix shades to get their exact match(2).
How to mix foundations to get the perfect shade? This is one of the most common questions I hear people ask. To get the perfect foundation shade, get a lighter shade and a shade that is close to your skin tone, mix both the shades in small quantities and apply it on the skin if the shade isn’t perfect then adjust the colors accordingly. Once you get the perfect match the next time you will know how much of which shade to use to get your exact shade then the process becomes easier.
Blending is the key and to get the best natural finish, I recommend using a makeup blender. Go on top with a good concealer and blend that too. Nobody wants harsh lines on the face. Also, guys color correct using a peach or orange correct only if you have any harsh scars or discolors on your face, for minor scars a good concealer will do the job.
Compact to the rescue!
To set everything in place and get an even look, sealing your make up in with a compact is a great idea. For wheatish skinned beauties, a compact powder with beige undertone would work perfectly.
Focus the powder mainly on the areas that are prone to oiliness, I always powder down my T-zone as I have combination skin. I use skin translucent powders simply because they make my face look ashy.
Just because you are wheatish you don’t have to say away from pink/ blush shades
Rock that blushed look!
Add some blush to your face makes it brighter immediately. But make sure you choose a nice subtle pink and not a harsh on your face kind of pink. Take some on your blush brush, tap of the excess and gently go over your cheekbones. Blend that out just about the contour. Now take another fluffy brush and blend the whole cheek so that once you cannot say were your blush ends and your contour starts.
No festive look is complete without eyeliner….
Smoldering kohled eyes!
I always prefer black liners as they make the eyes pop, but you can also go for other colors such as green, brown or blue(3). You are safe as long as you avoid those neon colors. A nice golden eyeshadow with a black smoked outlook will make sure that heads then to you this Diwali.
Nailing the no-makeup makeup look!
Getting the no make up look is very tricky for all kinds of skin tone. But to start off with if you have scars and pigmentation on your skin star with a primer and then a corrector (peach or orange, depending on the kind of pigmentation that you have). Skip the foundation and apply a bit on the area that you have previously color corrected. Once that all blended and set well, dab on some neutral lipstick that’s a shade that closest to your natural lip color. But since it’s Diwali and even the no-makeup look(4) could use some shimmer, choose neutral earthy colors that close to your skin tone and use them for your eyelids and your cheeks. To make things a bit for festive apply kohl on the eye. There you go the perfect no-makeup Diwali look.
