Sometimes, it can be frustrating to walk inside a makeup store and have no idea which shade of lipstick will look good on you, or which color of eyeshadow would look best on your pretty eyes. Worse is when you already bought makeup items but you realize in the latter that it doesn’t suit your skin color. How devastating is that!
No need to worry, because Cuchini is here to the rescue! We have listed a few tips on makeup colors that would work on anyone! Whether your skin is alabaster, ebony, or somewhere in between, you can’t go wrong with these universal makeup shades.
1. Deep Purple Eye Shadow
Deep purple is the perfect combination of red and blue, which means it complements every skin color and it is a great color for both day and night. Note that you should stay away from shades of red that are too heavy because it is a shade that is not for everyone, and if you applied it wrong, it might be misinterpreted as a bruise! Yikes!
2. Peach Blush
Unlike pink cheek colors, which can make you look like a Barbie or the other way around, peach is a color that gives your cheek a little shimmer and complements well with any skin tone. Women with fair skin should wear it right on the apples of their cheeks, while those with dark skin should move the placement up to the cheekbones.
3. Navy Eyeliner
Using a navy eyeliner is the secret to making your eyes look awake, no matter what your skin color is. The deep blue color will emphasize the whites in your eye, making it instantly brighter. However, we recommend that you use a pencil liner instead of a liquid eyeliner because the liquid liner doesn’t always read as a true navy.
4. Big Red Lipstick
People usually shy away from red lipstick because it looks too bright, but it actually is beautiful on almost everyone. The warmth of the red color makes it great on Asian and olive skin. It’s gorgeous with blue eyes, green eyes, brown eyes—it just brightens up the face. Best of all, red lipstick is the best with a bare face. Sometimes, lipstick is all you need to make you look gorgeous.
Go ahead, dear. Have the guts to go to the makeup boutique and be confident to choose the makeup that will look best on you!
