Skin Tones & The Right Kind Of Makeup That Would Suit Each Type
It is always important to choose your makeup products according to your skin tone. If you aren't sure on how to do so, then here is an overview. Check it out.
Knowing your skin tone is important. Random shades of foundation or a lipstick in a colour that appeals to you might not necessarily be what your skin likes. To know what goes with your skin best, you need to first be aware of your skin tone.
Different Skin Tones And The Right Shades
Your surface tone is how you look in natural light. It depends on the kind of pigmentation and the undertone of the skin. We usually take just the undertone into consideration, but it is better to look at skin complexion as the combined result of the surface tone and the undertone.
Skin tones can be categorised broadly into the following types, take a look.
Porcelain
Also
called
fair
or
pale,
this
skin
type
is
one
of
the
least
problematic
ones.
Few
breakouts
and
slight
tendency
to
get
burnt
in
the
sun
best
characterizes
this
skin
type.
People
with
porcelain
skin
normally
have
a
cool
undertone.
Foundations that are blue based work best with this type of skin. The blue tones bring down the pinkness and bring out the warmth that this skin type requires.
When it come to lipsticks, all types of pink and red shades, barring the ones that are orange based, work well. Pastel eyeshadows and blushes are the best picks, and anything that is white or blue based.
Light
This
skin
type
has
tad
more
colour
than
the
pale
type.
It
tends
to
get
freckles
easily
and
has
equal
chances
of
having
cool
or
warm
undertones.
People with this skin overtone need to find out whether they are a warm undertone or a cool one. Blue-green veins on the wrist mean warm undertone and blue-indigo veins mean cool undertone.
Ivory and light beige shades work best in foundations for this skin type. A warm undertone will require a yellow and peach-based foundations and a cool undertone will require blue or pink-based foundations.
Always remember, warm undertones can take on more colour than cool undertones. Anything red or peach or orange based will work wonders for warm skin, whereas cool skin is limited to blue, pink and white-based products.
Even so, cool tones can pull off some striking hues, which the warm undertones cannot. For example, lip colour of deep wine red shades will always look better on those who are cool toned; not to mention, this type can also pull off a wider range of nude shades.
Medium
Medium
skin
is
what
we
also
call
a
wheatish
complexion.
It
may
have
ashy
or
olive
undertones,
and
is
predominantly
neutral.
People
with
this
skin
type
usually
have
green
veins
on
the
wrist.
This skin type wears most of the shades well, from both the warm and cool spectrum. However, products with a greenish base can make the skin look ashy.
All in all, this is a comparatively versatile skin type. Avoid using bronzers or go light on them, as they can make the skin look ashy.
Dark
This
skin
type
has
predominantly
warm
undertones
and
the
cool
undertones
are
overpowered
by
the
warm,
dark
overtones.
It
lies
on
the
other
end
of
the
spectrum
from
porcelain
skin,
which
goes
well
with
cool
hues.
Dark skin goes well with warm bold colours. Foundations tend to go ashy on dark skins, and it generally requires a little more effort to find the right shade. Do not go any shade lighter, in fact going half a shade darker can also help prevent greyness.
Therefore, this was an overview of certain makeup tips according to skin tone. At the end of the day, it comes down to trying products and deciding what works for you.
Try a variety of shades and then zero in on the best one, and the above guidelines will surely help in shortlisting what to pick.
