The range of makeup colors is ever expanding but you should choose colors which always match your natural skin tones. You can start by following color selections and build on and develop the different effects you want to achieve.

1- Black Skin:
Warm beige, golden brown, burgundy and terracotta are the play-safe choices for black skin. Be more adventurous by creating a contrast with pearly lilacs and bright blues.

2- Dark hair with Olive Skin:
Complement olive skin and dark brown eyes with warm, deep shades that look strong but natural. Darker mauves, pinks and blues make an unusual alternative and add radiance.

3- Light brown hair with Olive Skin:
The gold undertones of light olive coloring are brought to life with warm shades like peach and soft browns. Pearly lilacs and slate greys are also colorful options.

4- Red hair with Pale Skin:
Pale redheads look good in warm shades that help to enhance their natural creamy tones but brighter colors can make exiting contrast. Blue and bronze look great with blue eyes.

5- Fair hair and Pale Skin:
Cool toned makeup such as mauvey brown lipstick is a dramatic option for this coloring. Soft baby shades also give a pretty effect.

6- Beige-toned Oriental Skin:
Warm colors such as apricot and terracotta flatter this skin. Metallic colors lift the face but they must be blended well.

7- Pale-toned Oriental Skin:
Neutral shades on the eyes and deep color on the lips are traditional choices. Limit vibrant colors to the eyes and mouth.
