Makeup Colors That Complement Your Season
Your perfect makeup palette is determined by more than just current trends—it's deeply connected to your seasonal color analysis. The right makeup colors can enhance your natural beauty, brighten your complexion, and make your features pop, while the wrong shades can make you look tired or washed out.
Foundation and Concealer Selection
Finding your perfect base starts with understanding your undertones:
Warm Undertones (Spring/Autumn)
- Look for foundations labeled "warm," "golden," or "olive"
- Yellow-based concealers correct dark circles best
- Peach correctors neutralize blue tones
Cool Undertones (Summer/Winter)
- Choose foundations labeled "cool," "rosy," or "pink"
- Pink-based concealers brighten under eyes
- Lavender correctors neutralize sallowness
Pro Tip: Test foundation along your jawline in natural light. The perfect match will disappear into your skin.
