One of the questions we often receive from customers is “What color is it?” compensateShould I wear it? ” This can be applied to foundation, blush, eyeshadow, lipstick, and various makeup products. For most consumers, it is unclear which color best suits their complexion and features. To make matters worse, we now live in an era where there are more color options than ever before.The Internet is full of videos of bloggers and websters using Rainbow palettePlenty of technicolor shadow and blush. It’s no wonder you feel overwhelmed. But before you give up on your search, let me give you a basic lesson in color theory. And a color wheel for makeupDoing so may simplify the process.
basics
First, I would like to understand the terminology. when we choose something compensateWe would like to distinguish between several properties of colors. Technically, colors have three characteristics: Hue, saturation and depth.
- Hue Actual colors include red, blue, brown, etc. When choosing the best color for you, first consider your skin, hair, and eye color. For example, people with blonde hair and blue eyes tend to look good with gold or brown eyeshadow. If your skin is cool or pink-toned, a soft pink blush and lipstick will look great on you. On the other hand, those with tanned skin and brown eyes will look great with gray, silver, or blue eyeshadow.
- saturation It is the intensity of the color. Highly saturated colors are suitable for a dramatic look, while less saturated colors appear softer. For example, for a natural-looking daytime pink blush, you want a blush that isn’t too saturated. Typically, you want a red lipstick that is worn in the evening to have a high saturation. Keep in mind that just because a color is more saturated doesn’t mean it’s darker. The color will be intense or bright against your skin tone.
- depth, which of course means how light or dark the color is. When choosing the shade of makeup, it is important to consider the depth of your skin. Colors that are too bright may not display well, and colors that are too dark may appear more dramatic than necessary.
When choosing a color that suits our features, we usually look at our skin, eye, and hair colors to determine what works best.You have the option to use a color similar to the feature – solid color, Or use a color that is the opposite of the feature color – contrast. To help you understand, look at the color wheel. Colors on opposite sides of the color wheel are contrasting, and matching colors are monochromatic.
Take a closer look at Makeu’s color wheelp.Historically, blue eyeshadow was thought to make the eyes appear bluer., But in reality, I noticed that the pigment in blue eyeshadow necessarily makes it more blue.n Therefore, the eyes appear less blue in comparison. I find that colors like orange, gold, and copper work best to contrast with other colors. blue eyess make theyIt looks blue in comparison. Similarly, green eyess It looks greenest when highlighted with purple. brown eyes Blue is often confused because it is the closest opposite of brown. In fact, brown eyes look equally beautiful when highlighted with cool colors such as gray, platinum, and silver.

With all this information in mind, it’s important to know that you don’t necessarily have to wear these colors to look great on your eyes. I find that different levels of skin tones, soft browns, and neutral taupes look beautiful on most eye colors.For example, I love using our sweet spot eyeshadow trio, natural mat kit or daytime eyeshadow kit No matter what eye color you have.these are universal palette.
Modification before enhancement
Now that you know what your color options are, you may want to start exploring new colors. But before you create your look and choose your desired color, you should first take a critical look at your face to ensure that any unwanted discolorations have been properly corrected. Many of my clients have told me that they can’t use purple eyeshadow because it makes their dark circles stand out. My answer to that is, “What kind of concealer do you use?” No shadow will look good if you don’t correct dark circles properly. This is another important element of color theory.
If you have discoloration, you don’t need stage makeup or heavy concealer to fix the problem.We work smarter, not harder – With color correcting makeup. If you have redness around your eyes or cheeks, we recommend a yellow-based concealer like the one below. Circle Delete #1 Or like a yellow-based foundation warm sienna Definitely neutralizes redness. If you have gray, blue, or purple dark circles, use a peach concealer like this: enlightenment 1 or enlighten plus To neutralize the darkness. This also helps with hyperpigmentation. You’ll be surprised at how much easier it is to cover up discoloration. Once your skin tone is evened out and your dark circles are covered, you’ll be able to choose your blush and eyeshadow colors without worrying about highlighting the problem.
If you have a lot of natural redness all over your face and don’t want to hide it, apply a gold-based bronzer like this: So bronze 2 or moon glow It will soften and then turn red. Similarly, if your skin is very tan or golden, try a peach- or pink-based bronzer like this: So bronze 1 or rose dawn. These opposite colors will help neutralize your undertones and beautify your skin tone.
dramatic vs natural
Another challenge facing consumers is whether they can get away with a dramatic look. Many of us think we can’t escape dramatic colors, so we stick to soft, muted, natural-looking colors. I can’t tell you how many women I’ve met who have 5 lipsticks of the same color from different brands… The eternal pursuit of the perfect pink-brown. Once we wear a color and get a few compliments, we assume that’s what we should wear, but in reality we’re much more diverse than we think. can do. My recommendation is to go to the lipstick aisle, close your eyes, choose a color, and stick with it for the rest of the day. Don’t look at yourself or compare yourself to how you normally look. Look at yourself as if you were a stranger you met on the street. You might surprise yourself. And don’t be afraid to experiment with red.
