But nevertheless, it is better to follow the relationship between the selection of the color of varnish and make-up!

TO make-up "nude»(Natural) you can pick up absolutely any color of varnish. The same applies to other species.   make-up, where there are no active color accents  - such as the classic smoky "Smoky ice", makeup with the arrows "a la Audrey Hepburn", etc.

If any makeup color biasit is best to match the color of the varnish. For example, pink shades are suitable for make-up “baby-dollars” (“for children” or “puppet”, where the emphasis is on pink) - you can get bright if you can wear it, but you can also have it lighter. At the same time consider, “warm” or “cold” your make-up - depending on this, pink lacquer can be, for example, “candy” or warm peach.

Dark colors of lacquer are good for rich “heavy” makeup.if it suits you. Again, the color of the lacquer does not have to be a direct “quote” for the shade of the eye shadow, eyeliner or lipstick, but you need to think about the coldness / warmth of the color spectrum.

If decided play on a combination of bright lipstick and bright varnish  (red, burgundy, fuchsia, etc.) - you need to match the color of the lacquer tone-on-tone to the lipstick very accurately! And you can make an interesting roll color - "lacquer - shadows": it will be very impressive even with unusual cold shades!

Women with "porcelain" fingers best go cool shades of lacquers  - from graphite or ink to pale lilac, mint, etc. Of course, one should not give up the warm gamut, but still really appreciate - how does lacquer fit into your color type?

For example, very bright colors, such as fluorescent pink or bright green, rarely go to delicate “blue-blooded” blondes - they overshadow the overall natural “pastel” appearance!

Brown or tanned skin  requires prioritization a little differently: bright and darker shades - the very thing! But be careful with the muffled, especially cold, shades, such as light gray, bluish, dirty lilac, etc. - on dark fingers, these colors will look dull and "dead."

Some people skin of hands, especially at fingertips, prone to redness  - to such a "blush". If this is your peculiarity, give up cold, especially pale, varnish colors - give preference warm range and rich colors.
