Makeup Color Theory Everyone sees colors differently It may take awhile for you to see color

naturally and easily

Primary colors – cannot be obtained from a mixture Blue Red yellow

Secondary colors – mix equal parts of two (2) primary colors Orange Green violet

Tertiary colors – mix an equal a mount of a primary and the adjacent secondary colors Red-orange Orange-yellow Yellow-green Green-blue Blue-violet Violet-red

Complementary colors – primary and secondary colors opposite each other on the color wheel Red – green (Christmas) Yellow – violet (Easter) Blue – orange (almost Halloween) These colors cancel each other out to make a

neutral brown or gray When next to each other they look brighter

Warm and Cool Colors Warm –

Red Yellow orange

Cool – Blue Green violet

Selecting Makeup Color Three main factors

Skin color Eye color Hair color

Determining Skin Color 1st

Light Medium dark

2nd

Warm Cool Neutral - equal amounts of warm/cool

Warm colors Yellow and gold Oranges Red-orange Most reds Some yellow-greens

Cool colors Blues Greens Violets Blue-reds

Reds Orange based – warm Blue based - cool

Greens More gold – warm More blue - cool

Light skin color Light tones – soft natural look Medium to dark tones – more dramatic look

Medium skin color Medium tones – understated look Dark or light tones – striking and vivid

Dark skin color Dark tones – most subtle Medium to medium-light tones- striking and vivid

Be cautious choosing tones lighter than the skin

If too light skin will appear gray or chalky Look for translucent or shimmery colors

Complementary Colors for Eyes

Neutrals will always be safest choice Have both warm/cool Work well on any skin tone, eye color, or hair color

By contrasting eye color with complementary colors – emphasize the color most effectively

Complementary Colors Blue eyes – orange

Contains yellow and red Make eyes look bluer Gold, warm orange/brown

peach, and copper Red-browns

mauves and plum Neutrals

taupe or camel

Green eyes – red Red shadows tend to make the eye look tired or

bloodshot Pure red tones not recommended Brown-based reds

Red-orange, red-violet, Coppers, rusts, pinks, plums, mauves, purples

Brown eyes – neutral Any color Contrasting colors

Greens, blues, grays, silvers

Activity: color faces

Corrective Makeup All faces are interesting in their own special

way, but few are perfect These tiny imperfections can make the face

more interesting if treated artfully Facial makeup can create the illusion of better

balance and proportion when desired Caution box

Basic rule for makeup is that highlighting emphasizes a feature and shadowing minimizes it

A highlight is produced when a cosmetic, usually foundation is lighter than the original foundation is used on the a particular part of the face

A shadow is formed when the foundation is darker than the original color

The use of shadows minimizes prominent features so that they are less noticeable

Analyzing Features and Face Shape

Emphasize attractive features and minimize less attractive

Goal of effective makeup is to enhance the client’s individuality, not to “remake” her image according to some ideal standard

Oval-shaped Face Face is divided into three (3) equal horizontal

sections (pp. 775 figure 24-21) 1st – 1/3 hairline to top of the eyebrows 2nd – 1/3 top of eyebrows to the end of the nose 3rd – 1/3 end of nose to the bottom of the chin Oval face is approximately ¾ as wide as it is long Distance between the eyes is the width of one

eye

Round Face Broader in proportion to its length Rounding chin and hairline Makeup applied to:

slenderize lengthen the face

Square-shaped Face Comparatively straight lines Wide forehead Square jawline Corrective makeup applied to:

offset the squareness soften the hard lines

Triangular (Pear-shaped) Face

Jaw is wider than forehead Corrective makeup is applied to:

create width at the forehead Slenderize the jaw Add length to the face

Inverted Triangle (Heart-shaped) Face

Wide forehead and narrow pointed chin Corrective makeup applied to:

minimize width of forehead Increase width of jawline

Diamond-shaped Face Narrow forehead Greatest width is at cheekbones (zygomatic

bones) Corrective makeup applied to:

reduce width across cheekbone

Oblong Face Greater length in proportion to its width than

the square or round face It is long and narrow Corrective makeup is applied to:

Create illusion of width across cheekbone (zygomatic bone)

Making the face appear shorter

Forehead Area Low forehead

Application of lighter foundation lends a broader appearance between brows and hairline

Protruding forehead Apply a darker foundation over prominent area to

give an illusion of fullness to the rest of the face Suitable hairstyle will also draw attention

away from the forehead FYI – page 776

Nose and Chin Areas Large or protruding nose

Darker foundation on the nose Lighter foundation on the cheeks at the sides of the

nose Creates fullness in the cheeks and makes nose appear

smaller Avoid cheek color on nose

Short or flat nose Lighter foundation down center of nose Makes nose appear longer and larger If nostrils are wide apply darker foundation to both

sides of nostrils

Broad nose Darker foundation on sides of nose and nostrils Avoid darker foundation on laugh lines - it will

accentuate them Carefully blend foundation to avoid visible lines

Protruding chin and receding nose Shadow chin with darker foundation Highlight nose with lighter foundation

Receding chin Highlight chin with lighter foundation

Sagging double chin Use darker foundation on the sagging portion Use natural skin tone foundation on the face

Jawline and Neck Area Blend foundation onto the neck so the client’s

color is consistent from face to neck Set with translucent powder to avoid transfer

onto client's clothing Broad jawline

Apply darker shade of foundation over heavy area of jaw – starting at the temples

This will minimize the lower part of the face and create an illusion of width in the upper part of the face

Narrow jawline Highlight by using a lighter foundation shade

Round, square, or triangular face Apply a darker shade of foundation over the

prominent part of the jawline By creating a shadow over this area the prominent

part will appear softer and more oval

Small face and short, thick neck Darker foundation on the neck Will make the neck appear thinner

Long thin neck Lighter shade of foundation on the neck This will create fullness and counteract the long

thin appearance of the neck

Corrective Makeup for the Eyes

Round eyes Lengthen by extending eye shadow beyond the

outer corner of the eyes Close-set eyes (closer than length of one eye)

Lightly apply shadow up from outer edge of the eye

Protruding or bulging eyes Minimized by blending shadow carefully over the

prominent part of the upper lid Carrying it lightly toward the brows Use a medium to deep shadow color

Heavy-lidded eyes Shadow evenly and lightly across the lid from the

edge of the eyelash line to the small crease in the eye socket

Small eyes Extend the shadow slightly above, beyond, and

below the eyes Wide-set eyes

Apply shadow on the upper inner side of the eyelid toward the nose and blend carefully

Dark circles under eyes Apply concealer over dark area, blending and

smoothing into surrounding area Set with translucent powder

Deep-set eyes Use bright, light, reflective colors Use the lightest color in the crease Light to medium color sparingly on the lid and

brow bone

Eyebrows Well-groomed eyebrows are a part of the

complete and effective makeup application The eyebrow is the frame for the eye Overgrown eyebrows can cast a shadow on

the brow bone or between the eyebrows Over-tweezed eyebrows can make the face

look puffy or protruding, or may give the eyes a surprised look

To correct eyebrow shape

Remove all unnecessary hairs and demonstrate how to use an eyebrow pencil

Ideal eyebrow shape can be drawn in three (3) lines Page 781 Figure 24-53 1st – vertical from corner of nose to inner corner of

the eye (eyebrow begins) 2nd – corner of the nose to the outer corner of the

eye ( eyebrow ends) 3rd – vertical from the outer center of the iris

(highest part of the arch)

Adjustments to Eyebrow Shape

Low forehead Low arch gives more height to a very low forehead

Wide-set eyes Extend the eyebrow line to the inner corners of

the eye Be careful not to give a frowning look

Close-set eyes Widen the distance between the eyebrows and

slightly extend them outward

Round face Arch the brows high to make face appear narrow Start directly above the inside corner of the eye and

extend to the end of the cheekbone Long face

Make the eyebrows almost straight can create the illusion of a shorter face

Do not extend the brows farther than the outside corners of the eye

Square face Face will appear oval if the arch is high on the ends of

the eyebrow Begin directly above the corners of the eyes and extend

them outward

Eyelash Enhancers Contain fiber to make lashes look longer &

fuller Built into mascara or separate product Prescription drug “Latisse®”

The Lips Lips are usually proportioned so that the

curves or peaks of the upper lip fall directly in line with the nostrils

Lip Figures

Skin Tones Ruddy skin

Red, wind-burned or affected by rosacea Apply a yellow or green foundation to affected

areas blending carefully Apply a light layer of foundation with a yellow

base over entire complexion Set with a translucent or yellow-based powder Avoid red or pink blushes

Sallow skin Skin that has a yellowish hue Apply pink based foundation on the affected areas

and blend carefully into the jaw and neck Set with translucent powder Avoid yellow-based colors for eyes, cheeks, and

lips

Wrinkles Age lines and wrinkles due to dry skin can be

minimized with a foundation Apply the foundation sparingly and evenly in a

light, outward, circular motion Care should be taken to remove any

foundation that collects in lines and wrinkles
