Color Basics

Posted by patito81 on July 18, 2008

Some guidelines to create the makeup look you want

  • Less is best.
  • Foundation should match the skin exactly so there are no lines of demarcation.
  • Concealer should be only a shade or two lighter than the foundation.
  • Powder should match the foundation exactly or go on translucent so as not to affect the color of the foundation
  • Eyeshadow colors should be neutral or pale shades ranging from pale beige to pink to tan, brown, dark brown, and plums.
  • Eyeshadow color (when used as a brow tint), should match the exact shade of the existing brow hair.
  • Eyeliner on the upper lid should be a darker color than the line along the lower lid (which should be a softer shade of beige or brown).
  • Blush can be almost any color as long as it coordinates with the lipstick color, but it must be blended on softly, without any noticeable edges.  A coordinating blush need not match your lipstick, but should be in the same tonal family.
  • Lipstick guidelines are more versatile, from neutral to bold, with the only suggestion being that smaller lips should wear brighter shades than larger lips.
  • To create a tanned appearance, use golden brown and chestnut shades for your blush, eyeshadows, contour, and lipstick, but do not, under any circumstances, apply a foundation or bronzer all over the face if it leaves a line of demarcation at the jaw or hairline.
  • If you are wearing wardrobe colors like red or pink you can match your lipstick with that color. .

Color Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don’t wear white or very pale lipstick. This can make you look like a ghost.
  • Don’t wear blue or green makeup!
  • Don’t wear navy blue eyeshadow unless it is a deep, inky, almost black navy.  Stick with neutrals, pinks and plums, or black, which look smoky.
  • Don’t wear dark brown or black lipstick. (On Dracula it’s great; on women, it looks like death.)
  • Don’t wear really shiny eyeshadows.
  • Don’t wear rainbow-style eyeshadow designs. Always blend the edges of color.
  • Don’t wear eyeshadow applied as a smudge of black around the eye, unless your objective is to look like you are in a punk rock band.
  • Don’t wear clashing blush and lipstick; they should be in the same color family.

And always try to use  products that improve your skin care like Avon.
