####MAKEUP FOR YOUR SKIN TONE - BEAUTY TIPS & ADVICE####
****Selecting The Right Makeup For Your Skin Tone:
Observe the color of your nail bed or pinch the skin under your arm (or any place the sun never shines). Does the tone tend to appear more reddish-orange, reddish-blue, pinkish-blue, peachy or yellowish? Once that's determined, you'll have a benchmark for your natural tone. The colors that will look most organic against your skin are the colors you find in your skin. Conversely, the colors that will create vibrancy are those that contrast.
In selecting foundation, powder and blush, we urge you to honor your natural skin tone and choose colors that replicate your organic hues. Concerning eye shadow and lip color, it's all decoration as far as we're concerned, so go for what attracts you. In most cases you will be naturally drawn to colors that flatter you.
If you're going for a subtle look, stay within the realm of you natural tones or punch it up slightly by layering colors, for more depth, or by adding neutral highlights for shine. Classically, there are four different palettes. Match one to your natural skin tone:
* Earthy: Browns, ambers and bronze, with some yellow tones
* Rosy: Cherry pinks to red pinks
* Violet: Purple tones with blue cast
* Coral: The orange family, with a touch of red in the mix
For a more vibrant look, use tones that contrast with your natural palette, though we do suggest if you're going bold on the eyes, keep it subtle on the lips and vice-versa. Thus:
* If you're mostly pink toned, try a plucky blue or autumnal brown on the eyes, with a hint of gloss on lips. Or go for all out coral on the lips, but stay subtle on the eyes.
* If you have red tones, try an earthy green shadow, with a sheer lip. Or if you want to go for red lips, make sure it's a blue/red, and remember to stay with the more neutral eye. If you are peachy, experiment with a vibrant purple shadow, though keep lips translucent beige. Or do a true pink lip with your natural eye.

****How can I make my eyes look bigger and/or more dramatic?:
When you say you desire more dramatic eyes, you really mean you want your eyes to appear larger, right? Well, unless you have large eyes to begin with, heavy lining will only make eyes appear smaller. Instead, try extending your eye shadow outward at the sides. I'll walk you through this subtle but effective technique:
#STEP 1 First, choose a soft, neutral shadow color. We recommend 'Fat Lip Makeup' in shades of walnut browns and heather grays for light skin and honey browns or medium-dark browns for darker skin. You don't want to use a color that is too deep or striking or one that contrasts too much with your natural skin tone. (Darker, brighter colors make eyes look smaller.)
#STEP 2 Look in the mirror; now place your pointer finger horizontally against your eye where the crease meets the brow bone (the inside of your finger should be touching the side of your nose). This will be your guideline for shadow placement.
#STEP 3 Using an eye shadow brush with a longish flat head (about the size of your pinky nail), place the eye shadow horizontally across your eye, at the crease and below the brow bone, following the line you made with your finger as a guide.
#STEP 4 Continue to extend the color outward in the same horizontal way, just about half an inch or so beyond the ends of your eyes, blending outward.
#STEP 5 Ideally, the ends, where you've extended the color should fade out and finally, entirely diminish. Think of the way a cloud of smoke disappears into nothingness.
Done correctly, this technique gives the illusion of lengthening and widening eyes, creating the appearance of larger eyes.
