Color harmony was born thanks to Johannes Itten (1888-1967), a Swiss artist and teacher at the Bauhaus School of Art. In the 60s, Itten wrote "The Art of Color", the book in which he exposed his new color theory. From that moment on, a new concept of colors , it is understood that each person is a set of different colors that cannot be matched with any color. For this reason it is important to learn to know yourself in order to enhance your natural beauty in the best possible way. Thanks to make-up specialists and consultants, it is possible to have an expert guide in the world of colors. It is possible to do color harmony tests even by yourself, combining the shades of the different seasons to understand at least if warm colors or cold colors look better. To begin with, it is advisable to do the test, for example with jewelry, to see if gold or silver looks better, this would already be a good starting point to orient yourself. However, you have to be careful and not think that having blonde hair equates to warm colors and that brown hair equates to cold colors. There are many aspects to observe and you have to have an eye for details and the various nuances. Here are some ways to take the test yourself and find out what your own are friendly colors , here are just some of the examples of tests that you can do to start getting your bearings: - observing your veins is an effective method, if they are green then it is autumn/summer, if instead they are blue then it is summer/winter. - place a white sheet of paper next to your face (without make-up and in daylight) or to your neck. If it tends to be yellow, you are a warm colour; if it is pinkish, you are a cold colour. - look at the color of your lips, are they peachy or tending towards red? Once you have done these tests, you will begin to have an idea of the direction to go. All that remains is to try on different items and make a comparison to see how the colors can completely change the light of your face.

Learn moreMatte Liquid Lipsticks. Which One to Choose?
Matte liquid lipsticks are a very popular type of lipstick. sophisticated and with surprising hold. Its resistance is a strong point because you won't have to constantly touch up as can happen with other types of lipsticks. In addition, they are characterized by an intense hold and do not stain which makes them trendy and popular. They are slightly more complicated and difficult to use than traditional lipsticks but they also differ in terms of color. In fact, they do not have a bright or glittery color (as shimmer lipsticks are) but are characterized by a more matte and dry . Since matte liquid lipsticks are not easy to apply on the lips, it is recommended, especially for the less experienced, to practice a lot and to use them only on well-hydrated lips. Matte lipstick colors. How to choose? You can choose from many different colors depending on the brands of lipsticks you choose. You can choose from caramel (mon caramel) to pink, passing through vanilla and even strawberry (with more or less intensity). There are many colors available, however liquid matte is a type of lipstick that does not suit everyone. You must therefore choose carefully, taking into account your features such as hair color, skin tone and type and, last but not least, the thickness of your lips. So how should you choose your matte liquid to always be on top? Since matte is an almost pastel and very opaque color, it is much better to apply it on thick lips. For thin lips, it would be advisable to use shimmer lipsticks or, in any case, more "bright", but if you have full lips, the opaque color is really perfect for you and it might be better to avoid colors that are too strong and obvious. pink or purple (maybe even orange!) while in case of darker skin then bright colors will be your strong point. I recommend, however, to avoid using a bright red that would accentuate any imperfections of your face. Finally choose the right color based on hair color : if you have dark hair then consider purple or purple, if you are red then it is better to apply a color similar to beige or light orange. While if you are blonde it is better to prefer all shades of pink or, perhaps, even a caramel color. So the colors are very varied but choosing the right one is not easy at all! Spreading and applying matte liquid lipsticks correctly is essential for the result to be perfect. First of all, you need to keep your lips well hydrated, soft and never dry. Obviously, if you want, you can use the dedicated primer (or even concealer and pencil to be even more precise) to be used before the liquid lipstick in order to avoid having to do continuous touch-ups in the following hours. Afterwards you can apply the lipstick starting from the outside of the lower lip. Immediately after the first coat, press your lips together in order to transfer the still fresh colour and then, with a single stroke, dedicate yourself to the upper lip. If necessary you can use the cotton swab to correct the smudges . L'OREAL INFAILLIBLE LECHOCOLATS ULTRA MATTE LIQUID LIPSTIC: This product from L'Oreal Paris is inspired by chocolate shades without melting or smudging for 12 hours. The available colors are 12 and they are all the possible shades of chocolate in highly opaque shades . In addition to not flaking, it is also very comfortable to use thanks to the presence of a drop-shaped applicator that will make the application more comfortable. - MAX FACTOR COLOR ELIXIR SOFT MATTE LIPSTICK This Max Factor brand product has different characteristics compared to the previous one. In fact, it is made up of a light texture and it is precisely for this peculiarity that it allows you to have hydrated lips and opaque at the same time. Thanks to the presence of a flocked applicator it will be really easy to apply while if you want a nice thick layer then you should do at least two coats. The lipstick will adhere perfectly to your lips hiding all possible imperfections. The available color is bright red. - REVLON ULTRA HD LIPCOLOR MATTE Revlon's lipstick is completely wax-free and enhances every type of lips with strong colors easy to use with the soft applicator. The available colors range from bright and light red to darker reds without, however, neglecting shades of bright pink that make it look like fuchsia. - NOUBA MILLEBACI LONG-LASTING LIQUID LIPSTICK The lipstick from the Italian brand Nuoba boasts a remarkable variety of warm colors (various shades of red, pink and beige). It is long-lasting and the ultra liquid texture allows you to always show off an unmatched color while avoiding boring shades.

Only one technique has remained intact over time, has not undergone any changes and is still today an indicator of elegance and strength: the smokey eyes . Smokey Eyes In addition to being one of the makeup looks that women love the most, smokey eyes have very ancient origins, one of the oldest of all makeup techniques.

The presence of dark circles can depend on various reasons and not only on lack of sleep, although a good rest can certainly be helpful in improving the situation. In fact, there are many factors that can somehow determine their appearance, some of which are genetic (medical problems) while others are environmental (stress, insomnia) or derive from annoying allergies. Whatever the reason, make-up can certainly be considered a valid ally to camouflage these dark marks but it must be studied based on the type of dark circle and its color.

Purple Dark Circles: Why They Appear Purple circles usually form when there is fatigue at the circulatory level, such that the blood stagnates in the capillaries, making the dark halo under the eyes more evident. This can happen both for reasons related to the physical condition of the person (fatigue and lack of sleep) and for external factors depending, for example, on too many hours spent in front of the screen or on excessively frenetic rhythms.

Another fundamental characteristic, when choosing a concealer, is coverage. The make-up that you are going to apply, in fact, must be sufficiently covering, in order to hide the halo around the eyes, blending with the foundation. without creating stratifications . For summer, a waterproof concealer is recommended, such as Lancome Effacernes longue tenue , perfect to wear even on the beach, covers effectively with a long-lasting hold up to 12 hours .

The type of concealer can be chosen freely according to your preferences, but it is usual to recommend a stick product in the case of oily skin, such as Shiseido Concealer Synchro Skin Gel Light, while a more fluid product is perfect for those with drier skin . To apply concealer, it is best to start from the inner corner of the eye, applying small dots. Be careful not to rub it, but rather use a brush or a sponge to tap the area until you see the concealer blend in with your skin tone. This way, the final effect will be natural and uniform .
