In order to choose the paint color that is right for you, you need to know your skin type. Light pinkish skin with blue, gray or green tint refers to the cold type - such shades of ashy are suitable for women. The warm type is skin with a yellowish sheen, these women will suit golden tints. If your skin has an olive color, you should try darker shades, even black.
To find out what color your skin casts, apply something white to the face that has not been painted over and stood at the window for natural light. If the skin appears yellowish, you have a warm type, if bluish - cold. With age, skin tone may change.
Another way to find out if you are cold or warm is to look at your own jewelry. If silver jewelry is more suitable for you, it means that you are of a cold type, if gold is a warm type.
Also in the choice of the desired palette plays a big role eye color. Owners of black eyes are recommended very dark and black tones, but green-eyed girls are more suitable warm, sunny shades of red, gold or copper, they should refuse ashy and black tones. Lilac eyes are perfectly combined with a silvery-ashy color and the color of a raven's wing. Brown-eyed girls will look great with brownish or reddish hair (chocolate, chestnut, copper). Hazel pupils are compatible with reddish and brown gamma.
Lighter tones are suitable for gray-eyed beauties with warm skin, and dark ones with cold ones. Cold-eyed blue-eyed ladies are simply irresistible in combination with a blond or dazzling black, and warm-type ladies with blue or blue eyes look good with reddish hair. Strongly light eyes are best not to combine with rich hues - the look will become faded, lose its depth.
For the best effect, it is recommended to use a color close to your natural shade. And it is also important to note that when using any dye in the hair, a coloring pigment accumulates, and with each new dye, even the same color, the shade becomes darker.
In addition, dark tones can emphasize age, while light ones, on the contrary, refresh the image. A variety of palette L`Oreal Excellence helps you make the choice that fits perfectly with your lifestyle and style. You can also experiment a little, picking up your stunning image.
