Understanding what your undertones are<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most women using makeup understand what generally works for them well \u2013 most of the time, anyway. However, they often don\u2019t consider how a colour wheel for makeup can actually impact their day-to-day choices when we talk about concealer, foundation, or colour cosmetics, for example.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such products are available in undertones like cool \u2013 i.e. red\/purple or pink\/blue \u2013 and warm, such as golden or yellow. When you try out different foundation shades to see which one disappears first, you can effectively understand whether it\u2019s better to go with a cool, warm, or neutral undertone to match your skin.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Coming_up_with_a_specific_makeup_look\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Coming up with a specific makeup look<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not every single kind of makeup look can benefit from the colour theory, but a colour wheel makeup, on the other hand, can definitely prove to be useful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s say you want a dynamic look that\u2019s really subtle \u2013 the artists\u2019 colour wheel, in this case, can help you come up with what\u2019s referred to as \u2018stealth contrast\u2019, and more balanced harmony \u2013 both of which can provide a truly exceptional final look.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See, once you understand how the placement of colours work on the wheel, you essentially have the power to make your cheekbones pop more, for example, make your specific eye colour stand out, or select a lip colour that elevates your overall look in more ways than one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Colour_correction_to_hide_unwanted_aesthetics_and_step_up_the_overall_look\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Colour correction to hide unwanted aesthetics and step up the overall look\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The makeup colour wheel for eyes and skin is a fantastic colour correction tool.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, if you look at blue on the wheel, its exact opposite is orange. Well now, let\u2019s say you have dark circles along with blue undertones \u2013 you can easily conceal them through varying tones of peaches, soft pinks, and orange right before applying concealer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for a good colour wheel to start off with, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treasurehouseofmakeup.co.uk\/fx-colour-wheels.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ben Nye FX Color Wheels<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will more than live up to the task.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_how_the_colour_wheel_applies_to_different_skin_tones\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding how the colour wheel applies to different skin tones<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of us have different skin tones, each one quite unique in its own way. Did you know that you can use the colour wheel for makeup to choose complementary shades for blushes, eyeshadows, and more?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s take deep and very fair skin tones, for example. With these skin tones, you can get away with pretty much any colour, right? They\u2019re overall neutral, after all, and you can experiment by mixing in at least one cool or warm shade to make the final look more dynamic. To give you a quick example: if you\u2019re wearing warm\/peachy eyeshadow with a warm\/rosey lip stain, then a cool\/pink cheek colour can help you achieve subtle or \u201cquiet\u201d contrast, as we like to call it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, medium-olive skin tones are mostly neutral-warm which means to create a subtle look, you\u2019ll be using warm makeup colours to achieve a harmonious effect within the skin. To create a little extra drama, you might use cool eyeshadows colours \u2013 plums, purples, and blues or cool cheek colours, such as fuschia, to create a contrasting effect within the warm skin tone and really make your makeup stand out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plus, don&#8217;t forget to learn about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instyle.com\/beauty\/makeup\/best-color-correctors-for-dark-circles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">best dark colours for shades<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_the_colour_wheel_to_improve_your_face_and_eye_makeup\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using the colour wheel to improve your face and eye makeup<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4309\" src=\"https:\/\/www.treasurehouseofmakeup.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ben-nye-colour-makeup-wheel.jpg\" alt=\"ben nye makeup colour wheel\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.treasurehouseofmakeup.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ben-nye-colour-makeup-wheel.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.treasurehouseofmakeup.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ben-nye-colour-makeup-wheel-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.treasurehouseofmakeup.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ben-nye-colour-makeup-wheel-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alright, let\u2019s start with <\/span><b>makeup colour wheel for eyes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The colour wheel can really take your eye makeup to the next level. All you need to do is take into account your specific eye colour, and you will almost always find a complementary shade that\u2019s beyond perfect:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For blue eyes, we recommend shades of yellow and orange to create the desired eye makeup look.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For brown eyes, experiment with shades of purple or blue and integrate that into your look.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For hazel eyes, shades of orange, gold, and pink are great.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And, for green eyes, choose shades of red and pink to add extra zest to your look.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, let\u2019s move on to the <\/span><b>colour wheel makeup for face<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The colour wheel can prove just as useful when it comes to wearing facial makeup in a way that makes your skin tone look absolutely flawless. So, let\u2019s do some colour correcting, shall we?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve never done colour correction for facial makeup then here\u2019s a quick refresher: colour correction requires the use of specific makeup products to eliminate discoloured skin. Typical suspects include dark circles and redness, so it\u2019s a great way to have an even and fresh-looking complexion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When devising your daily face makeup strategy, here\u2019s how you can use the artists\u2019 colour wheel to your advantage:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For dark circles or hyperpigmentation, a peach or orange colour corrector is your best companion. Again, blue is the opposite of orange on the colour wheel (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">surprise, surprise!<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For redness, a green colour corrector can help you create more even skin tone. If you look at the colour wheel, red is the exact opposite of green \u2013 the two shades cancel each other out, helping to neutralise the skin tone.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For broken capillaries or spots, use a yellow colour corrector. This will help to even out your skin tone. Again, look at the colour wheel and you\u2019ll find that yellow is the exact opposite of purple, thus, helping to neutralise the skin in case of the above issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_5_shade_recommendations_according_to_the_colour_wheel_for_makeup\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Top 5 shade recommendations according to the colour wheel for makeup<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By now we know that an eyeshadow colour wheel or one for the face and skin can help to even out your skin tone, with one of the key benefits being your eye colour popping more. But did you also know that specific shades can be paired together to highlight your facial features even better? Here are our top five picks:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Yellow_eyelids_with_purple_eyeliner\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Yellow eyelids with purple eyeliner<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yellow is a trending colour when it comes to eye makeup. If you want to achieve a beauty look inspired by sunshine itself, paint your eyelids with a beautiful yellow shade. Use a purple eyeliner to line the upper lash line to finish off the look, and create a divine appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Green_eyeliner_with_pink_blush\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Green eyeliner with pink blush<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to add an extra pop of colour to your eyes? First, use a green eyeliner to line the lower lash line. If you look at the colour makeup wheel, you\u2019ll see that a dab of pink blush across your cheeks provides a beautiful complementary accent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Blue_eyeshadow_with_coral_lips\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.

Coral cheeks with turquoise eyeliner<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fancy a more summer-like makeup in winter?
