Makeup: Eye Colour and Skin Tone

Hey Gorgeous People,

How are you all today?

Have any of you wondered what makeup, accessories, shoes or even clothes to wear that will compliment your natural looks? Well look no further than this very blog!!
Today I am going to be telling you what suits you best based on your eye colour and skin tone.

Now I have blue eyes, pale skin and a million freckles!

So for all you blue eyed people in the world here are some simple tips for you to help you look your best without any extra effort!!

Blue Eyes
Okay, I have definitely found that more brown/gold/copper eyeshadows are the best for me as they highlight the blue in my eyes. I use Covergirl Exact Eyelights for blue eyes as my mascara as it makes my eyes pop and looks fantastic (p.s. this mascara is so wonderful because it isn't clumpy and coats the lashes superbly). If you do want more colour in your eyeshadow go for smokey pinks or darker purple but do not overdose on the bright colours as it will wash out the colour of your clothes and also make you look tacky.

Brown Eyes
If you have brown eyes stick to eyeshadow colours such as brown, gold, copper, eggplant, cobalt and navy blue. These colours will enhance your eye colour and can be warn subtly on a daily basis to really make your eyes stand out and make you look flawless. The gold and copper eyeshadow will give your eyes a sparkly effect while it compliments the brown eye colour. The eggplant just matches beautifully with the gold and the blues highlight the orange and gold undertones and can help dull looking brown eyes to come to life!! Covergirl Exact Eyelights also has mascara specifically designed to accentuate the colours of brown eyes.
The colours for Hazel Eyes is quite similar to the brown eyes but also greens and more purples. You just get to choose which colour of your eye you wish to stand out more than the other ... green or brown? And then follow on from there :)

Green Eyes
All shades of purple and emerald green are absolutely perfect for green eyes. Also copper, terracotta, and heather grey help to accentuate the green eyes. When these colours are coupled with a brown or espresso eye liner the outcome is simply magnificent. Covergirl Exact Eyelights will help to brighten any dull greens eyes and make the eyes stand out more. I have also seen girls with green eyes wear smokey eye makeup made up of rosey tones and it is simply stunning.

Okay so now we have covered the eyes lets move down to skin tone and what best suits your colour skin.

Light Skin Tone (you have the most light colouring so light hair and light eyes. If you have light hair but dark eyes ... this ain't the place for you :) ).
You have a delicate skin tone so stick with colours such as light purples, light pinks, beige, brown, sometimes dark pink, grey, teal, emerald and dark green. These colours will suit your skin tone and then coupled with the above information of your eye colour you can experiment and see what works best.

Deep Skin Tone (your characteristics are dark hair and dark eyes because that's what people notice about you).
So here are some colours that will suit your strong and rich colouring.
Dark blues, copper, red, orange, brown, black, grey, gold, rose, eggplant, violet, aqua and emerald. These colours will help decide eyeshadow and lipstick so work it baby!!

Clear Skin Tone (your colouring is high in contrast and saturation. You have bright and clear eyes and most women with dark hair and bright blue sparkly eyes fall into this category of skin tone).
Go for more richer colours while picking from your colour palette ladies. Go flaunt some black, dark brown, salmon, rose, navy blue and dark purple but remember you can also integrate light greens and light blues, yellows and maroons.

Warm Skin Tone (you have warm, earthy undertones which travels throughout your hair, skin and eyes. Most redheads will fall into this category).
If you fall into this category stick to almost every shade of beautiful green you can find, beige, terracotta, and also a tad of dull rose.

Cool Skin Tone (you have softer, grey-ish undertones and most people with greying hair, cooler faces and women who are ageing fall into this category).
Hey women of the world don't be sad if you are ageing .... flaunt it! I personally think you guys have such a beautiful colour palette to work with as it involves rich and deep pinks, purples, blues, greys, black and then also light rosey tones.

So guys hope you enjoyed this blog today and even though here is what I know ... go ahead and experiment. Don't let it cramp your style and go ahead and be wild with the colour range!

Next blog will be about body shape and what to wear to flaunt your gorgeous bod :)
