Celebrity makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic is answering your burning beauty questions!!! Every Monday, he will answer a beauty/skin care question as part of a weekly column on Spoiled Pretty, Makeup Mondays with Mario.
Hi Mario,
As a beauty junkie, I just want to say how awesome it is to get to write and ask you a question. And if you're reading this question, that's even more awesome. You are so talented and I really admire your abilities. Anyway, moving on - here's my question. Do your eye shadow, blush and lipstick/gloss have to be in the same color family? I'm always so confused about the rules. Like, if I wear warm tones on my eyes, do my cheeks and lips also have to be warm toned too? And if not and it's okay to mix them up, do you have any tips for how to coordinate them all? Thanks so much, Mario!
Love, Leslie
Leslie,
Thank you! This is a great question so I want all the ladies to pay attention, please. ;-) To help rid yourself of confusion, get rid of "the rules." There are no rules or laws when it comes to makeup, but there are a lot of options.
Eye, cheek and lip colors do not have to be in the same color family. For those of you who don't know, warm tones are shades like brown, bronze, yellow and peach. Purple, pink and blue are all cool tones. I think mixing cool with warm tones can have a beautiful result. Let's say your skin is warm with a yellow undertone and you do your eye makeup with purple shadows which are cool tones, it doesn't mean that your cheeks and lips have to be cool. I think a warmer cheek like peach and bronze and a nude lip in this situation paired with the cool eye is aesthetically more flattering.
A client of mine once referred to me as the "mix master of makeup," LOL. I mix everything on the back of my hand to see the result. One of the best parts of doing what I do is being able to "wipe it if I don't like it."
Thanks for visiting Makeup Mondays with Mario!
