Buying the right cosmetic product is not an easy task.  It is important for women to know what type of makeup suits them best.  Not all makeup types and colors are meant for all individuals.  Therefore, it is important to know your skin type and the kind of products that match it well.

      Choosing the right cosmetics

      There is no mistake as severe as selecting the wrong cosmetics.  When we buy cosmetics that don’t suit our skin we have problems applying it and wearing it well.  It is important to select products that go well with your skin tone and color.  Once a proper product has been selected the application will be much simpler and the final look will be much improved.

      Importance of eye color

      The eye color should be considered before choosing cosmetics as it usually determines which hues naturally occur in the skin.  The most common eye colors are blue and brown.

      Brown eye color

      Brown eyed people tend to have an olive complexion which means they have too much yellow in the skin.  If you apply a warm toned foundation such as those with a red tone, your makeup tends to look orange. In other words the yellow in the skin reacts negatively with the red toned foundation

      Cosmetics which are cool, such as blue and yellow toned foundations are recommended for brown eyed individuals.  Warm colors are needed on the brows as their hair color may have red highlights.

      Blue eye color

      Blue eyed individuals have more red in their skin. Their complexion tends to be ruddy.  The color most suited for those individuals with blue eyes is the color that matches their hair color.

      Hazel eyes

      For people who have hazel-brown, hazel-blue or hazel-green eyes most foundation colors are well suited to their skin.  Looking closely at the pupil of the eye can help to determine the most predominant eye color.  All kinds and colors of foundation suit individuals with green eyes.
