Makeup Colour Theory The low down on make up
UNDERSTANDING HOW COLOUR WORKS is a very important part of makeup application. Have you ever wondered why certain people look better in specific colours, or why they continue to wear the same colours over and over again? Quite simply, certain colours go well with that person's colourings. Skin tone, eye colour, and hair colour; you have to think about all of these things when choosing clothing and makeup or when changing your natural hair colour. Too many people do not pay attention to the simple rules of colour theory. The result of this can be looking washed out or appearing older than your age. When you are carefully selective with colour choice in clothing, hair and makeup, it can have a dramatic outcome, and at the same time it's quite fun to experiment with colour.
