complementing your color

Cool-skin tones look best in blue-based jewel tones like deep purples, reds, greens, peacock or royal blue, or black. Icy, pearlized, or pure whites and colors also flatter cool-toned skin, so a frosty lip gloss might be a good idea, as would a berry-colored lipstick, emerald eye shadow or eyeliner, or a light touch of plum-colored blush.
Warm skin tones, on the other hand, tend to appear sluggish and washed out when paired with these types of rich colors. Instead, try earthy hues like gold, peach, coral, orange, bronze, sage green, or gold, or others with a yellow base. Pastel colors like powder blue or light pink can also work, depending on the actual shade (lightness or darkness) or your skin.
