What Are Your Ideal Makeup Colors?

What makeup colors make you look radiant?

That depends on your hair color, eye color and skin tone.

Let's start with the makeup foundation. Your best foundation color would be the shade closest to your real skin color. If you have freckles, get makeup in the color of the skin between freckles. If you tan easily and the tan fades progressively if you lack sun exposure, then you might be better off getting two shades of your favourite makeup foundation. One in the color of our deepest tan and the other in the color of your palest skin. As you tan or as your tan fades, mix the colors of both foundations to get the shade that matches your skin perfectly.

• Wash and dry your hands completely.
• Pour a little of each foundation on the back of your hand and mix the colors together, adding more of either shade to get the color that matches your face exactly.

Besides how light or dark the foundation is, a point to note is whether it is a cool shade or a warm one. First of all, you must determine which color group suits you best.

Get a selection of scarves, fabrics or cards in the cool colors:

• black
• fuschia
• blue
• silver
• mauve

Also prepare scarves, fabrics or cards in the warm colors:

• brown
• orange
• coral
• gold
• peach

Look in the mirror and bring the card or fabric with each of the cool colors against your face. Do the same with the warm colors. Which group of colors does your coloring look best against? If you look better with warm colors, then you have warm coloring. If you look better with cool colors, then you have cool coloring.

For warm coloring, you'd look better in the warmer foundation colors like

• Ivory Foundation
• All sorts of Golden Foundation
• Peach Foundation

For cool coloring, you'd look better in the cool makeup colors. Cooler foundation colors like

• Porcelain Foundation
• All sorts of light foundations with pinkish undertones
• Cool makeup Foundation

Lip And Cheek Color Choices

From the skin to the lips. Again, whether you are warm or cool determines which lipsticks make you radiant and which make you look garish or sickly. For warm skin tones, these warm toned lipsticks would make you look your best.

• scarlet lipstick
• crimson lipstick

Eye Makeup

When it comes to the eyes, take the cue from your actual eye color. Especially if there is more than just one color in you iris. Every single fleck of color is the ideal eye shadow shade for you. Start off gathering a collection of eyeshadows colors in the colors you find in your iris. If your eyes are black, then take the cue from your color family.

The smoky eye look is popular this season. Some of the possible eye shadow colors can give you that look include
