Shopping for Face Base

Warm, cool... and then what? Figuring out your true hue equates to having an easy time with foundation, powder, and the rest of your makeup. Check out this section to help you out the next time you go to the beauty counters.

WARM

  • Watch out for the words golden, warm, and tawny when browsing shades.
  • Go for bronzy, olive, and terracotta colors for eyeshadow,blush, and lipstick.
  • Avoid too pink bases and purplish eyeshadow they tend to cast gray tones on skin.
COOL
  • Be on the lookout for the shade names like rose beige, almond, and neutral.
  • Go for mauves, pinks, berry, and aquatic tints for eyes,cheeks, and lips.
  • Avoid orange or coral makeup at all costs: You'll look like... well, an orange. (Yikes!)
