How to choose makeup to match the color of the dress?

In the selection of make-up under the dress, the main thing is not just to choose the right color combinations, but also to be able to correctly apply them.

Color harmony represents the balance and unity of colors. The human brain is distinguished by a sense of order, created by harmony and balance, so it is especially important to follow this in makeup.

Experts have specific theories based on color psychology that are aesthetically attractive and pleasing to everyone. The main types of color combinations according to the opinion of professionals:

• Monochrome harmony uses different shades in the same color family. For example, all shades of red, blue, black, etc., which are combined with each other.
• Similar harmony based on three or more colors that are side by side on the color wheel. For example, yellow, brown and green.
• Additional colors - These are those that are located opposite each other in the spectrum. For example, yellow and purple.

Some designers prefer to choose each color, defining color harmony and color description, and then find other elements for their design. Other designers will do just the opposite: create their own color plan, responding to inspiration or another design element. Exploring the meanings and associations of different colors can help find the right combinations.

For each type of dress should be selected appropriate makeup. In order not to get confused in all the variety of types of dresses, we will focus on three main types:

1. Bright dress. It is better to leave the lip color natural or with a berry tint. For the eyes it is better to choose elegant metallic. No need to use false eyelashes, with a bright dress is better to keep the accent on clothes. For example, for a leopard dress it is better to choose a champagne-colored lipstick.
2. Elegant. If you have a dress like a Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly - with a classic silhouette, the makeup should be, on the contrary, quite dramatic. Here, the classic smoky "Smokey" is perfect, it is better to use mother-of-pearl shadows, you can use false eyelashes. Lipstick - from chocolate to eggplant color. Exquisite dress is best combined with shiny nails. For example, it is better to choose a cherry, purple or crimson lipstick for a classic solid or Marsala dress.
3. With a romantic dress The emphasis in make-up is better to make the eyes shine, in the literal sense to use glitter instead of shadows and a glossy lip gloss. For example, for cornflower blue, delicate blue, mint color or for a flower print dress, it is better to choose golden shades and lips of fuchsia color. Lavender dress is best combined with a milky lipstick. Dress in the Greek style will look great with powder lipstick.

Brunettes You can add warmth to your eyes with metallic shades (bronze, copper or gold). Then hold the black arrow along the inner edge of the lower lash line. You can finish the makeup with two or three strokes of the mascara. Bronzers give cheeks a reflective glow. For brunettes fit gray, public and light green dress and the same shades in the makeup.

Platinum blondes They look best in pure shades of peach, pink, gold and champagne.To create a healthy glow you need to apply a reddish-pink blush on the apples of the cheeks. On the lips - a lot of gloss with a glossy peach pink shade. For blondes, a golden, silvery dress, aquamarine and polka-dotted colors are suitable; you can safely choose such colors in make-up.

Redhead You can safely choose all shades of green. You can apply a shade of this color and finish the makeup with a reddish-brown eye liner over the upper eyelashes. Pink cream blush will make your face shine. On lips it is possible to put brown or beige gloss.

In order not to think about how to do make-up for different occasions, you can explore a universal option that fits any dress, it can also be used for graduation and photo shoots. Make-up is better to make step by step.

Base makeup under any dress should be natural and muted. It is better not to even try to overshadow the color of your dress. It will end in disaster. If it is not possible to find a tint to the face just like the skin tone, it is better to mix two colors (one darker, the other lighter). This will give the desired shade of powder or foundation. The tone should be applied evenly with the help of the sponge. You can also choose a good moisturizer instead of foundation makeup.

Let the cheeks speak of warmth and health. For this purpose, suitable cream pink shades. Bronze colors also look good. If you want to have a pink glow, almost like natural light, you need to put a shade on the apples of the cheeks. If you want to emphasize your cheekbones, then you need to put it right under the cheek. Colors such as peach, coral and pink look beautiful with any dress.

No matter what color you wear the dress, it is important to choose the right eye makeup. You can also focus on your lips and put simple pencil lines and mascara on your eyes.

To create a smoky effect, you must first cover the eyelids with a cream color. Then moisten the brown tone of the shadows and apply on the inside. Using an angle brush, you need to create a V-shaped corner with matte black eye shadows and draw the same color along the upper and lower lines of your eyelashes. You can complete the whole process with a black liner. To improve the effect of smoky eyes, you need to add luster to the middle of the upper eyelid and after the tear ducts.

If the makeup consists of a smoky make-up of the eyes, lips should be made neutral.

You can choose pink or orange lip oil or thick pink or brown lipstick.

If the eyes and cheeks have a natural make-up, you can enhance the accent with bold red lipstick. It is best to start with a pink or peach liner around the edges of the lips.
