I don't wear a lot just for school nothing over rated like model make up type of thing something nuteral (sp?) but noticeable you know what i mean =S

1. go with a soft pink eyeshadow on your lower lids (L'Oreal makes a mineral eyeshadow in pink that is perfect for you!) Stay away from foundation unless it's a light powder. Try a brown mascara instead of black and just a hint of blush on the cheeks just something to add a tad bit of bronze to the skin. Physicians Formula (walmart) has a "baked collection". The one I recommend is "Baked Gingersnap". It's a set of 3 eyeshadows soft pink/light tan/dk brown. They have a hint of shimmer to them and would be perfect for your skin tone. Also, they are wet/dry so you can choose to soften the color by wearing it dry or wet the applicator and have a darker more metallic look! Good luck!
2. For tanned skin, glittery, bronze shades work best! Apply a light foundation that matches your skin, and brush some bronzer on. This'll immediately open up your eyes, and your skin will look very radiant. Use Jergens Soft Shimmer Lotion. Don't go for the nude lip color--go for a bit of a darker shade.
3. just wear eye liner lightly around the eye. and a little masara.
