Make up tutorials- protagonist make up

How to make our protagonist look vulerable and innocent?
This piece of research is to aid us to find a way of making our protagonist look even more innocent, not merely just using the use of costume and body language. 
This tutorials involves using the use of light pale eye-shadow colours, such as very pale yellows, whites and very pale pinks and skin colours. This make up is used mainly around the eyes, which is to reduce tired bags if present under the eye, but also to bring out the eyes of the girl, which shows, usually, the emotions of someone, in this case, anxiety, vulnerability and afraid. 
This tutorial also expresses not to go over the top with make up as it does not present the emotion you would want to send to the audience, who is watching the scene. Having this tutorial showing us how not to do it allows the main character in our film to look vulnerable therefore more of an easy target for the antagonist. We have to avoid using too much mascara on the eyes as we want her to look very vulnerable and an everyday person doing something normal, rather than looking as if she has gone to a party.
The use of the lipstick would be fairly effective because it would be a pale pink colour, which would look relatively natural looking. This lipstick would be similar to hers, as pink connotes innocence and youth, which is ideal for our protagonist. 
This make up tutorial would definitely help with making our protagonist vulnerable especially with using this technique, the use of costumes and the body language of the girl. The girl who is our main character is also blonde and the stereotype of a blonde girl is usually quite dumb and cant do much for herself. We are trying to make her seem as vulnerable as we can so that the audience know she is the main target.
