Custom looks

The first step to finding the right trend is to identify the skin tone, which goes beyond whether it is clear, brown or brown. The fastest way is to determine the tone of the wrists’ veins. If they look blue it is because the skin tends to pinkish; when they look more green, it means that the skin tends toward yellow, in case of appearing blue and green, it is considered that the skin tone is neutral.

According to this result, it is convenient to opt for warm colors – those that have orange, brown and red in their composition – when the skin tends to yellow, and cold -with pigments that tend to purple or blue- in the pink skins. While “those who have a neutral subtone will feel good both options “.

Between tones and undertones

Those who have fair skin and a pink undertone will be better with lipsticks with more bluish and vibrant pigments such as fuchsia, baby pink, berry, carmine or violet (in this case, keep in mind that if your teeth have yellowish enamel, will enhance that dye) and bluish red. The softest options: in the range of brown or nude. In this case, the suggestion is to enhance eye makeup.

Nude is an impossible option to miss for the summer makeup (Avon).

On the other hand, in brown skins, dark shades such as brownish red, bluish violet or wine will be more appropriate.

You also have to take into account the time of year. Intense and deep colors are always welcome. But in the middle of summer, they can look very heavy.
