COLOR COORDINATION IN MAKEUP

When it comes to colors, all the makeup you have on your face at the same time should match. That means that earthy shades should go together and pastel-y shades should go together. So don't try to match lavender eyeshadow with jungle green lipstick because it doesn't. (In fact, don't ever put on jungle green lipstick, unless your main goal is to rebel against your parents.)

Okay, the time has come to take a step towards a more glamorous new you! It's up to you to decide if you want to use one, two, or all of the following types of makeup, but make sure you adhere to the order in which the following types of makeup are presented. Applying the foundation after you've put on blush will simply not look right… in fact, people will run from you screaming.

MATCHING AND CONTRASTING:
This is what color coordination is all about. Make up should be worn keeping your dress color and complexion in mind. The lip color should not clash with your clothes and blush. A contrasting highlighter and shadow may be flattering.

WITH PINK DRESS-
Shades of lipstick with a hint of pink and lavender look good. Cheeks should have a touch of lilac. The eye shadow may be in a shade of blue, contrasting with your dress.

GREEN DRESSES-
Take up browns well. Wear a deep brown lipstick or a brown with a hint of pink or orange, depending on what suits your complexion. A white or vanilla high lighter looks good, with a green eye shadow.

YELLOW OR BROWN DRESS: Deep brown lipstick with a hint of orange normally looks good. Shades of pink lipstick are out! The blusher should have a peachish color. Gold eye shadow is flattering.

BLUE DRESS-Go well with pinkish lipsticks and blue shadow.
