Skin tone and blush
Applying makeup for owners of blond hair and brown eyes requires some preparation. First you need to determine the skin tone and color type.
You can determine the skin tone by contrast, just stand in front of the mirror and bring to your face a clean white sheet of A4 format. Against the background of the whiteness of the paper, the natural shade will stand out more strongly.
There are four color types of girls' appearance and it is quite simple to determine it:
- Winter: skin tone - white porcelain or, in contrast, dark-skinned.
- Spring: face soft pink or peach;
- Summer: milky white with an olive, bluish tint complexion;
- Autumn: milk, almost transparent, with a golden tint of skin.
Having determined the color type of appearance and skin tone, you can easily choose the appropriate foundation or primer, powder and blush. The foundation should completely match the skin tone. If the foundation is lighter than the skin color, the face will be lost against the background of blond hair, and the dark shade will look unnatural.
Do not forget that a primer, foundation or BB cream should be applied not only to the face, but also shaded on the neck to create a natural effect.
The cream around the eyes, which is applied under the makeup, should, on the contrary, be one or two tones lighter than the skin tone. This simple technique will help to hide minor defects near the eyes and allow you to conveniently and beautifully apply shadows.
When starting to apply blush, you need to consider that for light skin it is better to choose discreet, gentle tones, and for dark skin, on the contrary, more saturated ones, even with an amber shade, are suitable. The choice of blush depends not only on the color of the skin, but also on the shade of the eyes:
- For light brown eyes, pink and purple nuances are better suited, it is better to avoid peach and apricot;
- Colorful brown shades are suitable for dark-brown eyes, beige and brown blush are forbidden.
Apply blush in the cheekbones and chin. If you focus on hair color, then shades of roses, coral and beige nuances are ideally combined with light curls.
