That's why, today, I decided to share with you all my tips to finally dare to achieve a great makeup matching the dress you're wearing and the colors of your outfit.
When choosing your makeup, there are two things to consider: it should match your skin tone and complexion, but also match the color of the clothes you are wearing. If it's a dress, you can use it as a base to determine the colors of lipstick and eyeshadow you'll wear. For a rather light dress, stick to light or nude shades. If your dress is rather dark, black, burgundy red or navy blue, you can dare tone-on-tone colors or a black liner, which is an elegant and classic safe bet.

There are in today in cosmetic stores and on the internet an infinite number of makeup products, from the most classic to the most original. Here are some tips to help you find the right makeup for your skin and that can match your wardrobe.
You don't usually wear makeup the same way to work, to go out partying, or to visit your family. So, when buying your products, think about how you want to use them. Most of the time, these have a fairly quick expiration date: mascara, for example, should be used within six months. So if you're on a tight budget, opt for a black or brown mascara, which you can use for most makeup looks.
The basic products to own for a basic makeup look are:
➡️ Choose neutral colors, which work well with your style of dress and skin tone. For example, if you regularly dress in khaki green, pink, ... a brown and copper eyeshadow palette will work well.
It is not only your style that will define your makeup: in order for it to give the effect of a second skin and enhance you, it is necessary to choose products adapted to the particularities of your face.
🔸 If you hesitate between two shades, preferably choose the lighter one.
🔸 If your veins are more green, it means your skin has what's called warm undertones. Gold and warm colors are what will make you look your best.
🔸 If your veins appear more blue, it will be the non-shiny beige tones that will highlight yourneutral undertones the most.
🔸 Finally, if your veins appear purplish, you have cool undertones, which will be enhanced by pinkish shades.
🔸 If you tend to have redness, know that there are foundations that contain a little green pigment, to tone it down throughout the day.
If you want to try colors that are a little more unique than the classic neutral tones, it's essential to match them to your eye shade. Here are some pairings that work well:
Choose according to your skin tone:
👉 Light colors tend to bring volume to the lips instead, while dark shades will create the opposite effect.
In recent years, fashion has featured models with perfectly shaped and rather thick eyebrows. To finalize your makeup, it is essential to think about pampering this part of your eyes as well, since they participate greatly in the expressiveness of your face.
To do this, brush them with abrow mascara of a suitable shade. Then, if necessary, use anbrow pencil to give them an even, full look.
👉 If you really want to highlight your brows, you can apply a lighter concealer underneath them. This will also have the effect of accentuating your eyes.
If you want to wear makeup regularly, it is essential to choose good products, to take care of your skin. If this one is really sensitive, I advise you to opt exclusively for hypoallergenic products
When buying your makeup supplies, pay attention to the labels:
👉 These products have generally been made with respect for nature and wildlife and include many ingredients of natural origin.
To help you figure out what kind of makeup to wear with your dress, I'll give you suggestions for most garment colors in the following lines.
👉 These suggestions are mostly for cosmetics that are applied around the eyes, as they are the ones you can most easily match with your clothes. For your lipstick 💄, if you want to wear it, make sure it goes with the rest of your makeup, but also with your skin tone, as explained above. As for the nail polish 💅 , you can choose a basic color or match it with your outfit or accessories (shoes, glasses, bag, etc.).
A green dress will be nicely enhanced by a light makeup, with pink or copper undertones, or a nude makeup. I would recommend avoiding green and blue shades, which might give a garish result.
On a daily basis, achic black makeup, light, will be quite suitable to sublimate a navy blue dress. If you prefer, you can also wear pale pink or beige tones, which will bring softness to your look and expressions.
If you're going to a party and are looking for a bit more pronounced makeup, you can dare to go tone-on-tone with blue makeup!
With the classic and timeless black dress, go for elegance and simplicity by adopting aperfectly lined black liner, which you'll match with a pale foundation and acoral or red lipstick, depending on what suits you best. Here's a little tutorial video that shows you how to perfectly pull off your liner (starting at 1 minute 45):
Fuchsia pink is a color that looks good and enhances your complexion superbly, especially if you have a bit of a matte skin. With this shade, you can stay classic with ablack and brown makeup, but also bring a touch of light to your makeup, with pale pink tones. As for green, avoid tone-on-tone fuchsia pink, which would lack delicacy.
The pastel pink dress goes great with nude, beige or light pink shades. I recommend a discreet makeup: if you are used to doing a liner line, make it rather thin, and do not hesitate to opt for brown liner, less contrasting than black. The goal is to emphasize the softness and femininity of your features.
👉 These tips also apply to awhite or beige dress!
Red pairs particularly well with black: if it is bright, you can create a simple contrast between these two colors. If it's a burgundy red, try a detailed with different shades of brown instead: you'll get a very sexy result!
