How To Choose Makeup Color for Face, Eyes and Lips

Not sure what makeup color suites you? Don’t panic. Here’s a comprehensive guide on choosing the exact makeup color for your eyes, lips and skin tone.

Choosing makeup color for your skin tone:

For olive or rosy brown skin tone you should go for cool colors. But if you have medium fair or golden color then choose warm makeup shades.

For fair skin: Choose pink shade as it provides vitality to skin. At day time must avoid silver, golden, metallic or copper shades. Choosing foundation for your face is also a trick. The aim of applying foundation is to have a natural soft tone with hiding your flaws if have any.  Always go for the same shade of foundation that matches your skin tone. Never choose darker or pale shades as this make your look improper. For more charming look apply blusher or illuminator as well.

For Pale skin: Generally warm colors in apricot and salmon pink shades are perfect for pale skin. Never choose pink shade for pale skin tone as it clashes a bit. Don’t mix multiple shades and go for peach, golden apricot as well.

For Dark skin: If you have dark skin then to bring light go for pink metallic copper and bronze tones. Avoid matte orange color as it doesn’t suit dark skin tone.

For Blue Eyes: Orange is the suitable makeup shade for blue eyes. Blue green shade reduces the intensity of eyes. On the outer corner of eye apply dark makeup shades i.e., black, navy blue or gray. Finally apply mascara one or two coats.

For Green Eyes: Powdery pink, purple or plum colors really suit green eyes. The blue color makes green eyes very plain that doesn’t make a beautiful look. Eyeliner should be of dark green color as it makes your eyes prominent. If you’re going for a night party apply dark eye shade at the outer corner of your eye. Color you can choose like navy blue, plum or dark grey.

For Hazel Brown Eyes: This color is ideal for eye lenses and you can put all grey green n golden brown eye shades. Never lose prettiness of your eyes by applying any half tone color as those make your eye look very plain. Black or golden brown eyeliner can be the best choice for hazel brown eyes. For faux-false finishing apply mascara.

For Black or Brown Eyes: Use deep shades i.e., black, dark grey, deep plum or navy blue. Always avoid light shades. To get a beautiful reflection metallic shadows as well. Black navy blue or dark brown liner will highlight your eyes more delightfully.

For Small Lips: Lip gloss or light color lipstick is more appealing for small lips than dark lipstick. As the dark colors make your lips look thinner than actually they are, so must avoid darker shades for your lips. Give a light touch of lip liner and apply lip plumper to make your lips a little prominent. Lip plumper is best for preserving the lipstick for a long extent.

For Large Lips: You can go for any lipstick shade if you have large lips but apply creamy textures. Must use a lip liner to give your lips even thinner look and mix it a little with lipstick to have a natural look.
