Matching Cosmetics to your Skin Tone

Skin can be categorized as warm or cool types. You can determine you skin tone by noting the vein colour in your under arms; blue veins mean that you have a cool skin tone and green veins mean that you have warm skin tone. Knowing your skin tone and type helps you to choose hair colour and make-up that best complements your appearance.

Choosing lipstick

Two important things to be kept in mind while choosing lipsticks are the lip size and skin tone. It is recommended that people with thin lips avoid deep shades and people with full lips avoid bright tones. Dermal fillers can be used to make the lips appear fuller. You can choose the right dermal filler after consultation with a therapist at a reputed laser clinic in Sydney.

Cherry reds, nudes and pinks are the suggested shades of lipstick for cool skin tones. Women with warm skin tones can opt for brown undertones or pinks. Yellowish skin tones should avoid bright oranges and reds and instead opt for rich browns.

Purples and browns are suggested for darker skin tones. If you wish to lighten your skin tone, you can undergo a specialized laser therapy offered for this purpose at some of the well known laser clinics in Australia.

Choosing hair colour

If you have a warm skin tone, you must choose a warm colour for your hair. Warm colours for the hair include auburns and dark browns. A streak of red offers an interesting highlight for such hair.

If you have a cool skin tone, choose a cool hair colour such as blonde and brown. Highlight the hair with wheat or honey coloured streaks. Those whose complexions have a reddish tinge should avoid using red hair colour.

Choosing the right nail colour

Most women spend a lot of money on pedicures and manicures. Choosing a nail colour that best complements your skin tone enhances the effects of these treatments. Cool skin tones are complemented well by blue base polishes. People having warm skin tones could opt for polishes with a yellow base.

If you have a medium skin tone, you have a larger scope of nail colours to choose from. You can choose polishes having blue or yellow bases. Burgundy is however acknowledged as the best colour for mid-tones. People with dark skin tones can try deep colours like marron or purple.

Beauty treatments offered at most laser clinics in Australia greatly enhance your skin quality which makes it easier to highlight your features. You can also try some of the exclusive anti-wrinkle injections in Sydney to remove creases on your forehead.
