Beauty Tips: 5 Makeup Shades for Every Face

We've all seen her: the woman who can get away with wearing any shade of makeup that you would never in a million years get away with. Sure, there may be a lot of colors and textures you may never be able to pull off, but there are also a lot that work for everyone.

So here's your beauty tip for this week: 5 makeup shades that universally flatter. 

                                                                                  






Bronze Eyes
Bronze works on all skin tones and with every eye color. For brown eyes, bronze will bring out the gold tones. For lighter eyes, bronze will contrast your eye color and make your eyes pop.

But bronze isn't all created equal. Skin tones should also play a role in your selection. So keep in mind how your tone will work with the bronze you choose.

Berry Lips

Not too brash, not too subdued, berry lips can make you look innocent or vampy, depending on the tone. For deeper complexions, berry colored lips can make your lips look soft while enhancing lip color. For fairer skin, berry lips can give the appearance of depth and save you from looking washed out.

Keep in mind, though, the result you get will depend greatly on the product you choose. So it's best to experiment with different brands to get the berry lips of you dreams.

 Rosy Cheeks

Applying rose color to cheeks has been around since the dawn of (wo)man. It's a universal sign of vitality, health, and youth. For fair skin, stick to shades that add emphasis and are one or two shades brighter than your natural tone. For deeper tones, shades of berry and wine-colors do best to flatter. 

Navy Mascara

Navy not bright blue (so there's no confusion). Navy is more neutral and works well with a variety of skin tones and complexions. It works on a simple principle: put a blueish hue next to something white and the whites appear whiter and brighter; in this case, the whites of your eyes. 

Fearful of the blue? Then choose a blue that is so dark on your skin tone that it will appear mostly black. No one will be the wiser and your eyes will still be bright and beautiful.

Black Eyeshadow

If you don't own black eyeshadow, we insist you go out and buy some ASAP... go ahead, we'll wait. It is indispensable in every makeup collection. No matter your skin tone or age, a matte black eyeshadow will work magic.
