Match Make-Up To Your New Hair Color

Chapter 10- Match Make-Up To Your New Hair Color

Suddenly your hair is the golden blonde, vibrant red or smouldering black of your dreams. But your old makeup only seems to clash.
In case no one has told you, new hair colors demand new make-ups. So erase your old color patterns from your mind and start studying an exciting new spectrum.

Today You Are A Blonde
Your new make-up will depend on the color of your complexion, the color of your eyes and your new wardrobe, as well as the exciting new toner in your hair. As eyeshadow is the most dramatic member of your make-up family, remember this simple rule: Key shadow to your iris by day, to your costume by night.
IF YOUR SKIN IS PINK AND FAIR, IVORY THROUGH ROSY: Your colorist has probably given you a new color in the lighter shades (ash blonde, smoky beige or silvery paste) and your eyes are doubtless blue or gray.
Lipstick: light red, light rose, clear pink, pink violet, and coral.
Foundation: palest or light rosy pink.
Mascara: gray for daytime; blue, violet, silver or gray for evening.
Liner: black, brown or the color of your shadow depending on how much accent you desire. Try brown liner with mauve, purple with blue.
Pencil: light brown mixed with gray.
Shadow: blue eye shadow with blue eyes, silver or mauve with gray.
IF YOUR SKIN IS LIGHT BEIGE THROUGH OLIVE: Your hair is probably golden blonde and your eyes brown, green or hazel. Neutralize any yellow glints your hair may cast on your complexion by adding pinkish highlights to your face powder or foundation.
Lipstick: light red, pink, coral, pink orange.
Foundation: peach beige.
Pencil: light brown, applied with darker brown.
Mascara: brown for daytime; brown, gold, frosted or regular green for evening.
Shadow: green for brown eyes, green for hazel eyes, brown for brown eyes.
Liner: if using brown or black liner, keep mascara the same color.

You're A Fiery New Redhead
It's much easier for you to stray and get lost in this new world of color than it is for almost any other shade. Don't be afraid to experiment. And don't let make-up and costume conflict too much with your fire-red locks. If auburn makes your complexion blush too much, add biege or ivory to foundation or powder base.
IF YOUR SKIN IS FAIR AND ROSY: Your eyes are blue or gray; you probably are a rosy redhead.
Lipstick: light red, light rose, sunny pink, rosy coral.
Foundation: ivory.
Pencil: brown and auburn blended.
Liner: brown or auburn or to match your shadow, but avoid dark colors.
Shadow: lavender, blue or green for blue eyes; silver or gray for gray eyes.
Mascara: brown for daytime; blue, green, gray, silver blue for evening.
IF YOUR SKIN IS TAWNY: Your hair is doubtless a deeper, softer, browner red and your eyes brown, green or hazel.
Lipstick: coral, clear red, orange, sunny pink or copper.
Foundation: warm rachel.
Pencil: brown and auburn blended.
Mascara: brown for daytime; plain or frosted green for evening.
Shadow: green for brown, green or hazel eyes.
Liner: brown or auburn.

Today You Are A Golden Brunette Or A Black Beauty
IF YOUR SKIN IS PINK, ROSY OR RUDDY: Your eyes are probably blue or gray.
Lipstick: rose, blue-red, clear red or pink.
Foundation: light peach.
Pencil: black.
Mascara: black for daytime; black, violet, dark blue, silver or silver blue for evening.
Shadow: blue and mauve flatter blue-eyed brunettes. Green, mauve or blue become black beauties with blue eyes. With soft gray eyes and black hair, try mauve or silver.
Liner: black and brown are usually preferable day and night for brunettes. Black-haired sirens should use black or match shadow. For more exotic effects, try blue liner with green shadow or vice versa.
If Your Skin Has Golden Tones, Is Tan Or Olive:
Lipstick: clear red, deep orange, golden red, coral, russet.
Pencil: Dark brown blended with black.
Mascara: Black for daytime; black, gold or green for evening.
Shadow: for brown eyes use green, mauve or blue. Hazel eyes look best with green.
Liner: black or matching shadow if hair is black; black, brown or shadow shade if hair is brown.
Foundation: Warm rachel.
You can tone down excessive ruddiness with a touch of beige or green powder or you can warm a sallow skin with a pinch of pink or violet.

Your Hair Remains Salt And Pepper
IF YOUR EYES ARE BLUE OR GRAY: Blend gray and brown eyebrow pencil, using more of the predominant color in your hair. Try pink rouge, matching lipstick or a light shade of red. If lids are wrinkled avoid shadows. Use soft blue or green for blue eyes, mauve or gray for grays. Gray or black mascara.
IF YOUR EYES ARE BROWN OR GREEN: Use brown eyebrow pencil, light green or brown eyeshadow. Light coral or light red rouge and matching lipstick. New brownish pink lipsticks are sometimes flattering.
You've Polished Your Hair To Silver
If Your Skin Is Fair, Your Eyes Blue Or Gray:
Foundation: Pinky peach.
Lipstick: deep rosy pink.
Pencil: silver or gray.
Shadow: Blue or green for blue eyes, mauve or gray for gray.
Liner: Go lightly, it's more flattering to younger set. If you want to accent your eyes for special occasions use subdued color like smoke.
Mascara: gray, smoke or black. Use eyelash curler to expose iris even more.
If Your Skin Is Darker, Your Eyes Green, Hazel Or Brown:
Foundation: warm rachel.
Lipstick: cherry red. Mascara: gray, smoke or black.
Pencil: silver, charcoal or gray best. If eyes very dark, use black pencil very lightly. Liner: Here again go lightly. Shadow: green for brown or hazel eyes.
