Hair colour typically blonde, brown or black. Skin has definite blue and pinkish undertones. Cool-toned people look best in colours such as blue, red, pink and purple, or "gem-tones".

You can wear a white shirt and it is flattering on you.Neutral: Eyes may be any colour. Hair may be any colour. Skin has unspecifiable undertones, such as pink, olive or yellow.

Warm-toned people look best in earthy-toned clothing, such as browns, yellows, oranges, yellowish green and ecru. Look best in gold jewelry. In natural light, the colour of the veins on the underside of your wrist are greenish. You are most flattered by an off-white, cream or ecru shirt.Step 2 - Determine Your Mineral Makeup Colour/Skin ShadeNot sure of your skin shade?

You may be very blonde and have pale eyes, or have very dark hair and a porcelain complexion.Light: Your skin is pale, and usually burns easily, tans rarely. You might be pale in the winter and have a "healthy glow" in the summer.Medium Light: Those with medium light skin that usually burn first, then tan.Medium: Your skin is of average tone.

You may be of African-American, Latin, or Indian descent.Step 3 Test It During DaytimeAfter learning your own skin tone and shade, the optimal method to test for the ideal colour is to purchase a selection of samples. Apply each shade to your cheek or jaw line during daytime. The correct colour should disappear as it would perfectly compliment your skin.Step4 Check It Under SunlightOnce you have done that, go outside to check it under sunlight. As the Titanium Oxide within mineral makeup diffuses and reflects sunlight, youmightfind the chosen shade much darker or lighter outdoors, adjustments then need to be made accordingly.Further suggestions * It is possible to mix the colours in various combinations, creating ideal shades that are perfect for you.* Using one colour as a base, add the 2nd colour to highlight selected regions. * You can adjust the proportions of each colour as your skin shade changes throughout the seasons.We hope you have found this useful.by Janka Tsanghttp://stores.ebay.co.uk/JTshopCopyright 2006-2010 JTshop.
