How To: Pair Your Makeup

Learning how to properly pair your makeup is a staple skill to learn if you plan to wear it. This is how you can avoid the infamous "clown face" that you see many makeup novices sporting. The best way to know is to ask yourself - "Which feature do I want to focus on"?

LIPS

If you want to accentuate those lips, pair a bold lip color with soft eyes. Dark lips are a staple for the colder seasons like purples, plums, and deep reds! If you depend on eyeliner to make your eyes appear bigger, use a beige or white pencil on your lower lash line. This makes the whites of your eyes appear larger, hence bigger eyes! 

EYES

Bring attention to your eyes with a sexy smokey eye or, if you want to keep it simple, thick eyeliner. Pair that with a natural or nude lip color - soft pinks, mauves, and nudes are perfect options. If you're not into lipstick, opt for a lip stain or a tinted lip gloss! 

As you can see, pairing your makeup is about maintaining balance. Pick a feature you want to show off and keep everything else in the background. Of course, that doesn't mean that you can't have fun with your makeup still!

Which look do you like better?
