Are you wondering which colour pallet for lipsticks and jewellery suits your complexion best? Whether it’s dark, light, loud, shimmery, nude or even one of the metallic range of options, you have to know which suits you best and makes you stand out.
There are various undertones your skin projects irrespective of your complexion. Hence you need to consider your undertones as well as complexion to ensure the pallet and accessories that are right for you.
People with cool undertones tend to have the bluish-green hue of veins under their wrist. They get a rosy pink skin colour when exposed to sun. For such people, silver jewellery is the best suit and can enhance their look.
Many people also possess warmer undertones, indicated by veins that are a purple-bluish hue. When exposed to sun, their skin tends to turn into a golden colour. For those who believe this is the undertone you possess, golden jewellery will be perfect for your skin.
Those of you with neutral undertones are blessed with variety of suitable makeup and jewellery options including gold as well as silver. Lucky you!
When it comes to staple makeup products, you probably already have a good idea on what works and what doesn’t for your complexion. But what about the products you don’t usually wear everyday? Eye shadow is probably something you only pull out for a special occasion, especially if the colour is bold.
Here are few ideas for best eye shadows you can check out considering your complexions.
Light and fair skin type
Since tanning is the new trend, there’s a disadvantage for those with a light skin type. When exposed to sunlight, this type of skin tends to burn and give out reddish patches but will never tan. So remember, natural sun tanning is NOT for you.
Your skin is open to wide ranges of colours that include nudes, metallic, bright and sparkly pallets. For a nice bright day look, try warm colours including brown, candy pink, light golden, peach and white.
A night look can become more attractive with bronze, silver and even black. You have the most flexible skin type and hence you can try out anything and everything.
