What I Do: Kayleen McAdams's Makeup for Fair Skin

"Having fair skin is both a curse and a blessing. When your skin is radiant and fresh, you can turn heads in a room. But when you're wearing the wrong shade of foundation or a lipstick that completely washes you out, it can be a serious issue. This is how I keep my skin looking flawless, minus the washed-out look."

Kayleen's beauty stats: Little sis to Rachel McAdams; blonde hair; blue eyes; fair skin.

"I have to be very particular with what I wear on my face. Not every shade will match my skin tone, and I don't want to walk around with my face a different color than the rest of my body. These products keep my skin healthy and are perfect for those with fair skin."

Pond's Morning Refresh and Evening Soothe Makeup Removing Towelettes

"I usually only wash my face at night. I love taking off my makeup with the Pond's Evening Makeup Removing Towelettes before washing. I'll pair that with a light moisturizer to hydrate my face overnight. In the morning, I wipe one of the morning wipes across my face for a quick refresh."

Clinique Lash Power Mascara and CoverGirl Lash Blast

"Wearing mascara is a must. I use both of these and build off of each. First, I apply Clinique Lash Power on my bottom lashes and at the root of my top lashes because it has a really tiny wand that can reach the hard-to-hit areas. Next, I swipe on a few coats of CoverGirl Lash Blast to finish."
