“What color liner should i use for my eye color?”
“Of course I cant wear red lipstick. It just doesnt look right on me.”
“Im looking for the perfect nude lipgloss but for my complexion.”
“What’s the perfect bronzer for brown girls?”
Ladies…these are all valid makeup questions and concerns and while I believe in some “rules” to a certain extent, makeup doesnt have to always be so serious. Below is a non-exhaustive list of some universally flattering makeup options which can take the mystery and agony out of choosing products to help polish your look, regardless of your complexion.
Navy Eyeliner – This option is not necessarily as intense as black liner but still gives good definition without being over the top. In addition, navy eyeliner intensifies the whites of the eyes for a more refreshed, wide eye look. Try MakeUp Forever’s Aqua Eyes liner 3L.
True Red Lipstick – True red lipstick does not have blue, pink, or golden undertones. a true red lipstick (fire engine red) works on just about all complexions. Red lipstick creates a classic, polished look, especially with a winged eye, lots of lashes and a little blush. Bare Escentuals Pretty Amazing Lip Color in Strength is a great pick. Caution: not intended for the faint at heart.
Nars Orgasm Blush – A cult favorite, this shade is a perfect peachy, golden shade. On more fair complexions, it is great when swiped across the apples of the cheeks. For deeper complexions, it makes for the perfect highlighter.
Rosy pink/Brown nude lipgloss. Just a hint of color. Bobby Brown in Tearose, Bare Beige lipgloss by Laura Mercier (my absolute favorite)
Bronze Shadow – Works for all complexions when swept along the lid or crease
Brown Shadow Trio/Quad – One can never go wrong with a brown shadow trio or quad which includes a great highlighter color and a great midtone. Depending where you put the shades you can create a nice natural eye, contoured eye, or even a smoky eye.
Have fun
