Makeup: the colors that highlight you

What goes to blue eyes
- The complementary color of the blue is orange, so the orange tones are eyes blue. To highlight your look, choose brown earth eyeshadows, golden browns, gold, peach and pink tones.

- Delightful for the complexion : an apricot blush and a coral lipstick!

- To avoid : green leaf and softly spread shadows. Always put the shade close to the eyelashes and blur on the eyelid. Avoid absolutely the eyebrows.

Tips +
- If you have dark circles, do not forget to put a few concealer for an outline of the neutral eye.
- Avoid putting foundation on the eyelids, it kills the reflections of the eye shadow.
- To bring out the eyes clear, play on contrasts with dark colors highlighting the outer edge of the eye with dark: dark gray, navy blue ...
- The semitones, shades, which are between the shade and the color are becoming on the eyes clear (avoid if you are brown and / or have matte skin)
- Do not forget the mascara, essential to give the look all its intensity


What goes to green eyes 
- Their complementary color: red (shades of red). A touch of complementary color on the face is enough for an overall enhancement of the face (cheeks, mouth, eyes).

- For eyesthe delicate pink shades and plums are very pretty. And mascara is essential. You can use a pencil khaki, light green or leaf green: the kohl is concentrated under the iris to create a reflection at the edge of the eye.

- For the complexion, the blushes red and pink are the most beautiful effect on the cheeks.

- To avoid : blue !

Tips +
- As for eyes blue, do not forget the concealer for a neutral eye contour.
- Be careful not to put foundation on the eyelid, it kills the color. We lose the reflections that are in the eye shadow.
- Play on the contrast by highlighting the outer edge of the eye with dark: slate gray, navy blue, dark plum ... eyes become more crystalline, the pupil more transparent.
- To be sure not to make mistakes on eyes clear (except for the brunettes), use semitones, which are between the color and the shadows, the shades. Be careful, however, if you have dark circles, the semitones must be applied on eyes neutral outline, otherwise, it makes the eyes tired.
- Mascara is essential to create the contrast.

- Recommended product: Eyeliner & design, Marrakech trio at Nivea Beauty, a pastel brick that can even be used in blush.


What goes with brown or black eyes
- For eyes : eyeliner, black pencil or navy blue, plum chestnuts are very pretty. With some eyes dark, it is better to avoid the mat and play on the metallic reflections. Otherwise, choose very dark colors. Bring the contrast by the light (and not by the shadow). Soft ors, pink golds, brass, bronzes and silver are very elegant.

- For the complexionchoose reds and pinks.

- To avoid : the semitones on the eyes, the chestnuts not bright enough, the colors too pastels. The result will be bland.

Tips +
- If you have a brown skin, or you are rather tanned, rather choose intense colors by dosing them sparingly. Otherwise, with pale pastel-type colors, you will put a lot to color and finally get a powdery effect quite dull and unseemly.
- Do not look for the color that you imagine in the rendering, it is the hand that applies it that produces the result, so choose tonic colors that you apply in small touches.


Redheads, blondes or brunettes, the colors that suit you
Redhead
- The tones of brick, orange, apricot, burgundy, brown and pink go very well on the eyelids.
- The salmon is superb on the cheeks (Shades of peach blush duo Stay real at Nivea Beauty)

Blondes
- The chestnuts and earth colors: yellow brown, coppery, red ... are suitable for eyes.
- For the cheeks and the mouth, the roses work very well, whether they are clear or fuchsia.
- Apricot and orange are, on the other hand, less beautiful on blondes.

brown
- Light-skinned brunettes can put everything, even dull shadows.
- Those who on the contrary have matte skin should avoid the mat and play on the light (metallic colors, copper, bronze, gold ...)
- Avoid orange blushes. Prefer roses, reds and sun lands.
