Makeup that enhances your features - yes, that’s right. Looking good is not about changing the way you look but enhancing and flattering what you have. And the best accessory for that, by far, is not just makeup but the right makeup for your skin.Meanwhile, it’s a common misconception that looking great takes plenty of time. Wrong. Do you have five to ten minutes? Well, take the following steps and off you go! But before anything else, determine your skin tone. This is the fundamental step—keep in mind that your makeup should be based on your skin tone. You don’t want to be caught wearing something that will look drab than fab.For fair-skinned, apply light earth tones. Accentuate your eyes with pastels, such as lavender or blue. Pink will look good on your eyes, cheeks, and lips. Take note that sheer colors are best for you. Finish that off with a sheer lipstick.On the other hand, those who have medium-toned skin should go for that sun-kissed look. Indulge in jewel colors as well as deep matte earth tones—hunter green, dark grey, beige and brown will accent your eyes. Top off your lipstick—anything from pink to red— with a luscious lip gloss.Choosing the right shades such as shimmer colors and natural shades is best for someone who is dark skinned. Avoid, as much as possible, using strong orange base. To highlight your cheekbone, go for apricot shades or deep rose and to make your look complete, lip colors that are darker should be used on your lips—try caramel, apricot, or blackberry.Lastly, those who have olive and ethnic skin tones should flaunt their features with metallic but darker shades, along with more neutral colors such as blue or dark purple. Stick with the natural colors and touch those lips with lipstick shades that will bring out your lips—plum, almond, russet or berry.Just by following these simple steps, looking great is just a blush away!
