What Color Makeup Should I Wear for My Skin Tone?

Choosing the right makeup products for one's complexion and overall skin tone is imperative to one's complete look.

Makeup Products

Nearly every makeup product a woman wears is affected by her skin tone. But most importantly, face makeup products, and lipsticks and glosses are most influential.

Types Of Complexions

There are four types of complexions: spring, autumn, winter and summer. Each has different skin undertones and skin colors. Summers and winters have pink or blue undertones. Spring and autumn have more golden ones.

How To Choose The Right Makeup

Depending on one's complexion determines the colors used on one's eyes. Summers can use browns, plums and neutrals. Autumn girls can use browns, yellows and oranges. Springs can wear anything that isn't dark. Winter girls can wear bright colors, and should avoid neutrals and pastels.

Considerations

Other factors come into play other than skin tone, including hair and eye color.

Warning

It's important to feel comfortable in the makeup you're wearing. Experimentation outside of the suggestions provided is encouraged.
