Make Up Make Over?

Question

I need help deciding what color make up I need and what season I am I have dark auburn hair brown eyes with green streaks in them and my skin tone is about 40 degrees if that makes sense. I need foundation, eye shadow, eye liner, blush, and lip gloss. Thank you

Answer 1

Skin tone is a key consideration. You want makeup colors that match your skin tone.Here's how to determine yours:

Warm skin tone:
1. Look at inner wrist - veins will appear green.
2. Gold jewelry is more flattering than silver jewelry.

Cool skin tone:
1. Look at inner wrist - veins will appear blue.
2. Silver jewelry is more flattering.

If you have a warm skin tone, then you will want colors that have a bit of yellow or brown in them - e.g. brick red.

If you have a cool skin tone, then you want colors that are more jewel like - e.g. true sapphire or cobal blue.

In theory you can wear almost any color as long as its tone complements yours.
