Make Up According To Your Skin Tone

Let’s face it – literally!! Women just look a whole lot better when they wear makeup. There’s no denying how beautiful makeup can make a woman look and feel. It can completely transform her beauty and turn her into a butterfly within a few strokes. The only catch is it’s got to be applied right. The correct colors need to be used for skin tone so that it can naturally enhance your natural appearance. Let’s go ahead and look at the different skin tones and see what makeup best suits them!

Fair Skin Tones

As your skin is so beautiful and pale, it is important not to apply shades that are too dark for you. It’s best to go for colors with hints of soft corals, pink and peach shades as these colors will compliment you the most. Stick to neutral lips or lips with hints of light pink shimmer. It will make you look radiant as well as younger. Darker lipsticks will only age your appearance. It’s also important to note that you will need to apply sunscreen under your base and foundation because you burn easily. Purchase one with a very high SPF that is not very oily.

With a medium skin tone, you sit happily in the middle. You are not too light nor too dark. There is a warmth to your tone that provides it with a natural glow! The colors that will suit you best are honey, bronze, and golden-brown. Lavender and different shades of purple, as well as blue eyeshadows, work really great at making your eyes and features stand out. When going for lip colors, choose light pinks to deep berries as well as going natural.

Olive Skin

Olive skin is very admired and enviable. Whilst in the sun you literally turn to a shiny gold and have that sexy ‘Jennifer Lopez’ glow every girl wants. You always seem to look radiant and healthy like the sun shines from within you. With this skin, you just need natural enhancement. Colors to go for are warm, peach blush, rosy pink and hints of shimmer on your cheekbones. Eyeshadows that are sapphire, royal blue, burnt orange, emerald green, a deep plum and a smoldering smoky eye for night time work really well for this tone. Many ‘Mediterranean’ and ‘Middle Eastern’ cultures carry this skin tone and it truly is beautiful.

Dark Skin Tones

If you are naturally beautiful and dark, your skin can carry off any bright, funky color! Gorgeous hues of pink and red lips suit you as well as eyeshadows in purple as well as natural shadows. The best colors for blush are bright orange as well as cranberry and subtle, shimmery bronzers should be applied.

No matter what your skin tone, there are always colors made for you, you just have to find them. If you have no idea what will suit you, beauty houses will often give you a free make-over if you buy one or two products from them so it’s really worth it!
