Makeup Colors…What works for You?

When it comes to makeup colors, some want it all, others? Not so much.

Before I became a fan of “Color Me Beautiful”, I thought one could wear any color as long it was enhanced by the right makeup colors.

To a degree, I still concur. For instance, if you love olive green and you have a yellow base to your skin tone, wearing the right color makeup will help you with a color which would normally wash you out.

If you can’t be bothered with all those choices, knowing your best color palette is handy, and economical.

Here are some great examples of color choices for you. If you are not sure what is best for you, I have been doing color consults since the early 80’s.  Let’s do a consult. Video or in-person. It’s powerful and incredibly helpful.

I had a client who wanted a bronzer. Mary Kay often has one on their limited-edition line.  For whatever reason, they have not had one for seasons.  Personally, I think that’s a failure.  I often get requests for bronzers.

This is a perfect example of making lemonade from lemons.  I created my own bronzer, and…I also customized a bronzer for cool or warm coloring. 

Not only do you get a bronzer, but you also get a contour color, a blush color, and even better?  You can use these two colors for eye shadow. 

For your personalized makeup lesson, I can meet with you in person or via zoom.  These sessions are fun and FREE! 

You can book a time with me right from this page.  I’ll look forward to it.
