Makeup Tips For Wheatish And Dusky Skin

Makeup should be worn according to the occasion, season and the natural skin tone. Makeup is meant to enhance your features and to camouflage the imperfections if any. It should highlight your sharp features and cover the not so sharp ones. Makeup is meant to accentuate your looks, it should not be too loud. Over done makeup looks tacky, so stay away from false lashes, too arched eyebrows etc. It is also important to blend your makeup with the outfit and the occasion, day makeup is usually light and subtle whereas night makeup can be heavy and you can generously use shimmer.

Similarly summer calls for light pastel shades in makeup and winter is safe for darker shades. Another important factor while selecting makeup is the skin tone. We share makeup tips for wheatish and dusky skin.

Wheatish Skin - For wheatish skin, use silver around the eyes to make them stand out. Stick to warm earthy colours for your lips like mocha, bronze and maroonish brown. If you have dark lips, before applying lipstick, put some foundation and powder on your lips. Use peachish blushes on the cheeks.

Dusky skin - For this type of skin, use a deep warm shade of powder, with a hint of yellow, to prevent the skin from looking dull and ashen. The cheeks will look best with no blush or just a hint of bronzing powder. On your eyelids, stick with deep, rich shades that blend easily into your skin tone.

Chocolate, caramel and gold are great shades for a natural look. Line the lips with a dark pencil, blend it into the lips and cover it with sheer gloss. Whatever your choice, the right application of makeup can help you achieve either look with elan. Do remember that yourfoundation should match perfectly with the colour of your skin.
