Skin tone and blush
Applying makeup for owners of blond hair and brown eyes requires some preparation. First you need to determine the skin tone and color type.
You can determine the skin tone by contrast, just stand in front of the mirror and bring a clean white A4 sheet to your face. Against the background of the whiteness of the paper, the natural shade will stand out more.
There are four color types for the appearance of girls and it is quite simple to determine it:
- Winter: skin tone – white porcelain or, in contrast, swarthy.
- Spring: face pale pink or peach hue;
- Summer: milky white complexion with an olive, bluish tint;
- Autumn: milky, almost transparent, with a golden tint skin.
Having determined the color type of appearance and skin tone, you can easily choose the right foundation or primer, powder and blush. The foundation should completely match the skin tone. If the base is lighter than the color of the skin, the face will be lost against the background of blond hair, and the dark shade will look unnatural.
Do not forget that the primer, tonal foundation or BB cream should be applied not only to the face, but also to blend on the neck area to create a natural effect.
The cream around the eyes, which is applied under makeup, should, on the contrary, be one or two shades lighter than the skin tone. This simple technique will help hide minor defects near the eyes and allow you to conveniently and beautifully apply shadows.
When starting to apply blush, you need to take into account that for light skin it is better to choose discreet, delicate tones, and for dark skin, on the contrary, more saturated ones, even with an amber tint, are suitable. The choice of blush depends not only on skin color, but also on the shade of the eyes:
- For light brown eyes, pink and purple nuances are better, it is better to avoid peach and apricot;
- Dark brown eyes are suitable for colorful berry shades, beige and brown blush are prohibited.
You need to apply blush in the area of the cheekbones and chin. If you focus on hair color, then shades of rose, coral and beige nuances are ideally combined with light curls.
