Cool-toned makeup looks involve using hues from the cool half of the color wheel. If your skin has a cool undertone, wearing cool-toned colors to accentuate your features, especially on the cheeks and lips, will be incredibly flattering. However, there are no rules with makeup! If you have a neutral or warm undertone to your skin, you will look beautiful in cool tones too! How vibrant or subdued you choose to make your cool-toned look all depends on your color choice! Here are some tips to take into consideration:
- Remember that complementary colors will make your eyes pop. Therefore, if you have cool-toned eyes, choose the cool tone that is closest to your complement on the color wheel to achieve the most dramatic effect. For instance, if you have bluish-green eyes, the complementary hue is red-orange, but the closet cool tone to that is red-violet.
- Silver is a cool-toned metallic. Blending a silvery eye shadow with a cool-toned hue at the outer corners of your eyes is a great way to create a stunning, smoky look. A similar effect can be achieved with a cool-toned white that is either matte or shimmery.
- Try a silver or other cool-toned highlight on the tops of your cheekbones. However, beware that too much silver on the cheeks will give you a frosty look, so use a light hand unless you are going for ice princess glamour.
- Mix up your cool tones. Blue is everyone’s go-to cool-toned hue, but too much of it can make you look lifeless. Don’t be afraid to experiment with other beautiful hues, such as purple and turquoise!
