Colour Coordinate Your Make-Up With Your Outfit

• It is not just fun to match your makeup to your
  outfit, it's pretty fool proof! After all, making
  up is part of an overall look so it makes sense
  to coordinate the components.
• 1.Keep on to one colour palette
• You need to be vigilant if you're talking of
  matching your makeup to your outfit (and your
  outfits on the bold side of it). A bold shade
  will prove disastrous on your face and body.
  Think of a bright blue sweater with blue
  eyeshadow to suit ... Exactly.
• Now, that isn't to suggest you should be staying
  totally clear of bright makeup. That's totally
  not it. Only take note of the clothes you wear,
  and suggest using a light hand to apply blush and
  lipstick in contrasting shades if it is, say, a
  bright pink dress or top. Pick an eye shadow in a
  shade that flatters pink and try to avoid
  choosing the exact same eye shadow shade to your
  outfit.
• Playing down your facial features would be a good
  compliment to a loud outfit. If you're more
  inclined to wear silent colours like brown,
  burgundy or navy blue, you're freer to make up!
  If you're wearing more toned-down colours, you
  don't run the risk of looking cartoonish, but you
  still need to make sure your overall look is
  evened out, which takes us to our next rule...

• . Equally spread colours
• We have stated earlier that matching your makeup
  to your outfit is an easy trend to learn in
  making-up. Although all in all this is real, it
  doesn't mean that every piece of clothing is easy
  to fit! If you fit your lipstick to your dress,
  for example, you'll probably have a tough time
  not going overboard.
• Nevertheless, don't feel bad even the most
  professional stylists and makeup artists are
  having a hard time matching every lipstick colour
  with a dress and keeping the look polished and
  elegant. None said it was simple to work with
  colours and shades, and it is especially
  difficult to fit a makeup colour to a large
  garment properly.
• One way to ensure you prevent a faux pas is to
  spread the colours equally. Consider picking one
  of your items, such as your shoes or purse, and
  matching your lipstick or eyeshadow to that
  specific piece. Not only does this save time,
  because you only have to concentrate on a
  specific item instead of a whole piece of
  clothing, you also have to be organized in a way
  that's much more stylish than matching your whole
  outfit face. Red bag? No problem you can
  quickly find an additional shade for your lips
  that will tie the outfit together in a very clean
  manner.

• Do not get too matchy
• When it comes to putting your makeup and dress
  together, it's very tempting to get carried away
  so we can't emphasise enough how important it is
  not to go overboard. When it comes to matching
  everything, don't be too simplistic you want to
  pair those colours together and look shiny, and
  that's perfect, but you don't want to pick two
  colours and deck yourself out from head to toe,
  trust us!
• As described earlier, a great way to avoid being
  too overdone is to concentrate on matching your
  accessories to your makeup. Also, take some time
  to prepare your makeup and wardrobe, and
  determine which feature you want to play up. 
• Perhaps you enjoy playing with eye shadow and
  have wide, expressive eyes to work with if this
  is the case, make them bold and keep your outfit
  more subdued (think darker, less brash colours).
  Choose a leopard-print blouse if you swear by
  animal prints and match your lipstick to another
  part of your ensemble, such as a belt or
  earrings. This way, instead of being too catchy,
  you can use complementary accents. This is an
  approach much easier!

• Know what you are doing
• To truly master the trend of matching your makeup
  to your dress, though, you'll need to bear in
  mind some main things to give you a hand, we've
  put together a little guide below that focuses on
  different elements and how to work with them  
• Eyeshadow
• There are a few ways to put an ensemble together
  by selecting the correct eye shadow. Wearing a
  fun, adventurous outfit? This is your chance to
  pick a shade of gold, soft purple or beige hair.
  Yet eye shadow isn't the same as lipstick, so if
  the rest of your outfit is also bright, you can
  really wear a bright colour on your eyes-just
  make sure it's a matching colour (and it's done
  with taste!)
• If you keep your look low key with shades of grey
  or black, this is your chance to show off a smoky
  eye, and you can even spice it up in shades of
  brown or plum. It also doesn't hurt to have a
  general understanding of which eye shadows fit
  better with other colours of the skin, so we
  suggest doing some research to educate you self
  for example, golds fit well with blue eyes while
  purples are a beautiful compliment to green eyes.

• Blush
• Blush and eye shadow can be applied to two very
  different areas of the face but when it comes to
  matching, they have identical rules! As with eye
  makeup, blush should not be matched directly to
  clothes. Take some time to find out if you don't
  know which blush fits best for your complexion.
  When you know which colours to stick to, you can
  determine how to pair it with an ensemble the
  great news is, you don't have to think about
  matching! You're in the clear as long as it fits
  your skin tone which isn't the exact same hue
  as the clothes you wear.
• Lipstick
• In the world of beauty lipstick is still going to
  be a showstopper. Regardless of the hue, the
  lipstick makes a statement, and that is important
  to note while designing any outfit you want to
  compliment your makeup. You can easily pick a
  pink or neutral shade for your lips if you are
  wearing bold colours. You can be more adventurous
  in your choice of lipstick if you're wearing
  jeans and a plain top, and pick a berry, red, or
  even orange shade to attract attention to. Keep
  lipstick finishes in mind when selecting the
  right shade of lipstick, as they can add or
  detract from the statement you have made!
