A good makeup is basically all about the right colour and applying them right. This is a simple process which range from choosing the right shade of foundation, and applying them with the right stroke, to choosing the colour of lipstick that will flatter the lip of your model. In the lesson, we will lay emphasis on choosing the colour for lipstick, eye shadows and blushers for three skin tones. These are: Light Tone, Middle Tone, And Dark Tone. The light tone: depending on the intensity of the lightness, extremely light skinned models often have pale eye, hence the following colours of eye shadows may be used them. One Pale Sliver two Sky Blue three Lilac four Aqua. The check colours that have been found to flatter light models is usually baby pink, and their lips look great in pale pink glosses or pink lip-stick with glear gloss coat. Middle one: Eye shadow colours such as black. (For smoky eyes). Cool picture blues (ranging from bright electrics to deep navy hues) flatter the eyes of these ones. Gold earthy browns and shade of green also add drama to their eyes shimmery bronzers bring warmth to their cheek; burgundy blushers are great on them, while deep pink apricot colour or burgundy blushers flatter them. Use berry hues. Bronze golden or neutral brown on the lip for a perfect look. Dark Tone Skin: Use bronze eye shadow warm chocolate browns. Leafy green and middle hues of blue on these ones. Avoid silvery metallics, because it will look washed out on their eye. Their lips look great in shade of red ranging from lighter reds, to darker shade, depending on the occasion. Brown- reds really do flatter their lips, when coated with lip gloss. Applying eye shadow: it is one thing to know what colour of eye shadow to apply and it is another thing to apply it well.
