If you like daring looks with a lot of color and you want your makeup to match your outfit, the first thing you should keep in mind is that the tone of your eye shadow and that of your clothes should belong to the same group. Everything is valid, as long as you follow this small guide:
Choose between hot or cold. If your clothes are a warm tone, your makeup should be too. The range of warm colors goes from sand, caramel, orange or reddish tones to brown, while the range of cold tones is gray, blue and violet. You can make a single exception; combine your clothes with pink tones as long as they are light and natural.
If your clothes are flashy and you choose a matching eyeshadow in a flashy shade, it will make your lips look more natural. On the contrary, if your clothes and your lips combine with a bright tone, it is better to choose a more discreet makeup for your look. Many focuses of attention can overload the face too much.
To highlight the makeup area, contrast the rest with nude or natural makeup. For example, if you have chosen to highlight your look and combine it with your clothes, use natural and soft tones for the cheeks, lips and nails, and take care that the tones of the three are combined.
