Understanding Skin Types

Understanding your skin type and tone is an essential part of makeup application. There are four common skin types:

• Oily skin: tends to be shiny and prone to breakouts
• Dry skin: usually flaky and dull
• Combination skin: a mix of both oily and dry
• Normal skin: has a balanced amount of oil and is not prone to breakouts

Knowing your skin type is crucial when selecting skincare products and makeup.

Understanding Skin Tones

Skin tone is another important factor to consider when choosing makeup. Skin tone refers to the color of your skin, which is determined by the amount of melanin present in your skin. There are three main skin tones: cool, warm, and neutral. To determine your skin tone, look at the veins on your wrist. If they appear blue, you have a cool skin tone. If they appear green, you have a warm skin tone. If you have difficulty determining the color, then you likely have a neutral skin tone.

Enhancing Your Natural Beauty

To enhance your natural beauty, it is essential to select makeup that complements your skin tone. For example, cool skin tones look great with cool-toned makeup, such as shades of blue, purple, and pink. Warm skin tones, on the other hand, look best with warm-toned makeup, such as shades of orange, yellow, and red. Neutral skin tones can wear both cool and warm-toned makeup.

Remember, selecting the right makeup for your skin type and tone is key to achieving a flawless and natural look.
