Makeup Colors for Warm, Cool or Neutral
If you're a WARM, look for eye shadows in colors like copper, golden brown, dark gray, pale yellows or greens and an ivory tone to highlight your brows. Your best foundation is either light or dark tan depending upon your natural skin tone, and you'll look awesome in a burgundy blush and copper lip color.
If you're a COOL, choose shades of icy pink, sky or navy blue, or frosted shades of lilac, pink or smoky lavender. Beige or Neutral foundations will complement you well. You'll look great in a rose or mauve blush, and a light plum lip color.
