Here's a hack: use self tanner. The extra color does wonders. You can also get your eyelashes dyed and permed.

Make sure your wig and eyebrows are done. Wear colors that look good on you. Use the opportunity to appreciate your innate beauty.

Lightly tinted eyeglasses gives that eyeshadow look and adds some color to your face.
A pretty hat with your wig helps.
Get your eyebrows and eyelashes tinted.
See if you can use powdered shabbos makeup.

This. Eyebrows are important. Wig as well. A nice outfit and heels. Jewelry.

And ask if you can use powder foundation after you dip.

I don’t know when ur going but here’s what I do if I have to go right after Shabbos or in middle of yt:

-powder foundation
-blush
-lipstick that doesn’t stay
-“eyeliner” dip a thin eyeshadow brush into water and then into your darkest eyeshadow color. Apply as you would a eyeliner.

This washes off easily with water.

I’m pretty sure that would be a chazitzah…

I'd be surprised if it would be. Especially ones that you mix into your moisturizer. But of course ask your LOR.

Thanks for the responses. Eyebrows is a good idea, and maybe I'll consider permanent makeup some day (lazy me likes the idea).

I can get pretty pale, and I feel like I might just need to find out about Shabbos makeup. Any recommended brands, before we ask?

How about the shabbos makeup? It's loose powder so can be applied on shabbos. You just have to follow some halachos about how to put it on. I have one specific company called 7th day shine (right now I can't remember which rabbanim have their haskamah on it), but my mom has from a diff company that R fishelis from LES gave his haskamah on.

Self tanner chemically changes the color of the top layer of skin. It isn't makeup. Why would it be a chatzitzah?

AYLOR because there are definitely strong perspectives that any form of Shabbos makeup no matter how powdery is just point-blank forbidden. Not to put down those who have a solid basis for using it, but if you have a rabbi or derech that you always follow, make sure this is consistent with them.

This. The issue is dying/coloring. Even if it stays on for only 4-5 hours many poskim consider that an issue.

Ah. I was thinking about a spray tan. That’s a makeup.

I also think eyebrows are the most important. It frames the face and brings some color. Go for a tint erev YT.

And many don't.
How's about letting OP decide 🤔?

Self tanner lasts for about 2 weeks. Eyebrow/eyelash lift and tint about 10 days. There's no residue. I don't know why that would be a problem.

Sorry to hijack- but can anyone recommend a place for tinting eyebrows / lashes in Brooklyn?
