Tips on how to choose the right quality cosmetics for your perfect make-up
1. determine your skin tone
Stand in front of the mirror and lift a piece of white paper next to your face. Then compare your skin color with white paper.
- If your skin looks more yellow than paper, you will probably have a warm tint.
- If your skin looks more pink than paper, you probably have a cold tint.
- If your skin looks peach, not yellow or pink, you probably have a neutral hue.
Then you can choose the foundation for your makeup. For normal skin is good for any foundation of tone for normal skin type. Oily skin is usually best combined with a matte finish. Dry skin can benefit from moisturizing tones. For mixed leathers, liquid, cream or mousse bases are suitable. In any cosmetics shop, you can use testers and testers of certain tones.
2. How to choose eyeliner.
There are several types of eyeliner you can choose. For example, pencils are easy to use and fit well with eye shadows. If you want to emphasize your eyes more clearly and vividly (and you have a steady hand), liquid eyeliner can be an ideal choice.
3. Choose your eye shadows.
Shadows can be selected according to your eye color or skin tone.
Brown eyes blend well with purple and metallic colors such as copper, silver, and gold. Dark pink, yellow and green shadows are also suitable for brown eyes, but not dark blue.
For blue eyes, try the cool colors, dark brown or oranges.
For green eyes, you can use grey figs and charcoal, plum, violet or beige shadows.
When it comes to pale skin, it is better to avoid darker and smokier colors. Use light earthy tones.
Brighter shade colors are best suited to darker skin tones, but be sure to avoid ashes and whites.
4. Choose your best blush.
Pale skin fits well with light pink and peach shades. Neutral skin uses pink and darker peach shades. For dark skin, pink and deep cream shades are a great choice.
5. Cleaning up your lips
Some makeup artists advise you to choose the color of your lipstick or lip gloss, to choose darker tones than the color of your lips.
If you love classic red lipstick, remember that cherry red lipsticks are best for pink skin; fire red is best for olive skin; dark red or marsala is a good option for darker skin.
Pale skin is combined with apricot, pink and creamy colors;
For neutral skin, it is better to choose bright red or cherry shades;
Dark skin can be accentuated by using dark brown, deep or vividly purple colors.
6. How to choose a highlighter
Use a white glow highlighter on light skin. Highlighters that have cool white, champagne or ivory look great on light skin. They will make your skin shine and look brighter. If you don't want to look too pale, first apply light pink blush to your cheeks and then apply a lighter.
Use a peach highlighter for a neutral skin color with a cold tint. The peach in the high tones will complement the coldness of your skin tone and make it warm with light pink.
Choose a gold highlighter for neutral skin with a warm tint. Skin of this color is well adapted to summer tanning. So using a golden hue highlighter, your skin will look beautiful and tanned.
