The color wheel is used to identify complementary colors which can enhance and balance makeup looks by recommending what colors work well together.
Complementary colors, which are opposite each other on the color wheel, enhance and highlight features through contrast, making them more noticeable.
In summer, people often have a natural tan or warmer complexion, and warm undertones in makeup can complement and enhance this natural glow.
Highlighting involves applying a lighter shade to the high points of the face like the cheekbones, brow bones, and nose bridge to draw attention to these features.
A common order for applying makeup for a natural look starts with foundation for an even base, followed by eye makeup and then lips to ensure a cohesive appearance.
Cool tones like pink, blue, and purple work well with fair skin as they provide a subtle contrast, enhancing the natural color of the skin without overpowering it.
Contouring creates shadows on the face that can simulate or enhance facial symmetry, giving the illusion of depth and structure to the face.
Matte liquid foundations are ideal for oily skin because they offer coverage that reduces shine and helps to absorb excess oil.
Setting spray is used at the end of makeup application to lock all the layers of makeup in place, ensuring longevity and reducing the need for touch-ups.
Primer is applied before foundation to smooth skin texture and minimize the appearance of pores, providing a flawless makeup base.
