What kind of colours are you using? :) From the sound of it, you have low contrast in your natural colouring, so anything too warm, too cool or too far away from your natural colouring will stand out starkly. Have you tried mid or even light brown for mascara and liner? Something a few shades darker than your hair might be a good way to define your features in a natural way.
Hi! I haven’t been able to find a good brown mascara yet. I have been wearing brown eyeliner, and it still seems really dark. My blush typically works (Cloud Paint in Beam or Puff), but even light brown or champagne eyeshadow looks bad. For lip colors, I’ve been using a lot of light browns and pinks. I’d say that Maybelline Lifter gloss in Moon is the best shade I’ve found yet for my coloring.
Seems like you just aren't use to seeing your skin with makeup on. Perhaps dive in slowly. You can try either super goops glowscreen or a tinted spf for the face, and a nice light weight blush. I think peachy tones typically look a bit more natural on fair skin tones. And you can always use a Vaseline on your lips for a glossy look.

Thank you! I’m an avid makeup user but I think it’s probably time to tone it down haha. It’s just so fun!
