Hi everyone!

I’d started this series of posts on How to coordinate makeup with outfits some time back and it got forgotten and buried among other posts. Reviving this series today by a guideline on What to wear with Yellow colored outfits. 

Previously in this series- 

How to coordinate makeup with outfits Vol 1 : Makeup looks to suit every outfit

How to coordinate makeup with outfits Vol 2 : Makeup looks for blue  outfits

I wrote a small write-up on color theory in the post on Makeup to pair with Blue outfits and I’m summarizing it here in reference to Yellows-

-> There are 3 primary pigments- Red, Yellow and Blue.

-> Mixing any 2 of these further gives 3 more shades called secondary colors

Red+ Yellow = Orange

Yellow + Blue = Green

Red + Blue = Purple

-> These 3 primaries and 3 secondaries are represented pictorially in form of a color wheel -

Hi everyone!

Few days back I did a post on How to coordinate makeup with outfit Vol 1: Makeup looks to suit every outfit. Today I’m doing the second post of this series on how to coordinate makeup with BLUE outfits -

Just to warn you, this is a long post and has some ‘theory’ in it. You’re welcome to skip it if you wish and jump directly to MAKEUP TIPS FOR BLUE OUTFITS.

I’m introducing a little bit of COLOR THEORY here which will help you understand how colors can be matched together for the best effect.

There are basically 3 primary colors in pigments- Red, Yellow and Blue. Each of these colors when paired with another give rise to three new colors known as ‘secondary colors’.

Red + Yellow = Orange

Yellow + Blue = Green

Red + Blue = Purple

Now if the primaries are placed at the corner of a triangle each – the secondaries will come in between the 2 primaries they are composed of giving us what is commonly known as the COLOR WHEEL which looks something like this -

Hi everyone,

I’m starting a series of posts on How to coordinate makeup with outfit after receiving requests from a few readers. While starting out with makeup, I myself struggled with coordinating lip colors, eye makeup and blush with the outfit and the occasion. It seems overwhelming at first but a little knowledge about colors and practice over time makes it easy as you go along.

This is just a basic guideline for those starting out with makeup , who find themselves at a loss on how to coordinate colors and clothes and end up either making a makeup blunder or wearing the same makeup over and over again.

In Volume 1 of this series of posts, I’m doing a few looks that can be worn with any outfit.

Hope you find this useful
