How to Choose Make up for Your Skin Tone

Hi Sweets,
It's been a very busy day for me trying to put things together, i'm so glad i achieved them at last.
*smile*.
Today i want to show you a preview on how to choose make up for your skin tone.
pictures are below.............................

 

Determine Your Skin Tone

Wear a white shirt and look in the mirror: Be sure you are in natural or incandescent light, as yellow light or fluorescent light will reflect off your skin. See if your skin appears to have more yellow-red -- warm skin tones; or more blue-pink -- cool skin tones. The skin tone is is not your skin colour, it is the colour that is under the skin colour that reflects or is enhanced against white. Skin undertone is often shortened to simply skin tone when referring to colour. There are many skin colours, but only two basic skin tones -- warm and cool. Once you know your skin tone, you can select your make-up colours.

 

Assess Your Skin Colour

Decide which of the major skin colour categories you fall into: fair, medium, olive or dark. People with the same skin colour do not always have the same skin tone. For example, you could be fair skinned and cool toned, or fair skinned and warm toned. You could be dark skinned with either cool (blue) or warm (yellow). It depends largely on your ethnicity and genetics. You may not be exactly 1 skin colour category, and most people are in-between. Determining the nearest category will help you find a colour palette more quickly.

 

Foundation Base

 

Select a foundation that matches exactly with your skin colour: You may need to switch foundations from summer to winter depending on whether your skin is slightly darker in summer months.

 

Try the foundation on your skin: The best place to test foundation is on the skin between your lower cheek and jaw bone. Foundations are either yellow-based or blue-based. Some make-up lines actually have words like "cool beige" or "warm honey" on their labels to indicate the tone it was made for.

Choose a cool colour foundation with blue or pink undertones if you have a cool skin tone.

Select yellow-toned foundation for a warm skin tone.

If your skin is darker, be sure that the foundation does not make you look ashen. If so, try a different colour or a yellow-based foundation .

 

Blush

 

 Choose a blush that will complement and blend into your skin: Blush is used to highlight the cheeks and should never look streaky, so choose something subtle within your skin tone range.

Darker-skinned people should choose blush in shades of plums for cool skin tones, or burnt orange-bronze for warm skin tone.

If you're olive skinned, browns and copper blushes are for you.

People with medium skin tones should use apricot, coral, or peach blush.

Fair and cool skin types should try shades of pink or rose.

Try beige or tawny if you are fair with a warm skin tone.

 

Eye Shadow

Choose a colour that complements your skin tone and enhances your eye colour.

People with warm skin tones can wear eye shadow with a golden hue, such as greens, browns, gold or pinks.

If you are a cool skin type, pick eye shadows in blues, grays, silver, pinks, and plums. Choose an eye shadow that is right for your eye colour and skin colour as well as your skin tone.

For darker skin types and eye colours, darker, bolder eye-shadow is easier to wear.

                                                                     
                                                                     Lipstick
Test the lipstick on a sheet of white paper to determine the lipstick's dominant colour.

Warm reds and browns or pale warm shades such as champagne are good for warm skin tones.

Cool, dark skin types can wear purples, rose, and sheer, pink gloss.

Olive skin can choose lipsticks in warm browns, beige, reds and pinks.

Fair, warm skin types can wear lipsticks in warm pinks and reds, while cool skin types can try purple and cool pink.

 

 Tips 

Fairer people with light eyes should avoid dark eyeliners and mascara. Instead, use brown eyeliners and mascara.

A new hair colour may reflect different with your skin tone. When you change your hair colour drastically or go from cool to warm hair colour, check that your make-up complements the colour your hair is reflecting.
