Rocking Jewel Toned Eyeliner

Ok this isn't one of my normal posts (or maybe it shall be or will become!) but just had to share, especially with those who have the same or close to the same complexion as mine.

I took a quiz on TotalBeauty.com to find out my best eyeliner colors and how to wear them. Here are my results:

"Your best jewel tones: Any vibrant jewel tone you like. (woo hoo!)
Complexions like yours have carte blanche to experiment with any jewel tone. MAC West Coast director of makeup artistry Gregory Arlt recommends staying away from reds and magentas, which can make you look a little sick. "If you must try them, mix them with black or use a gradation of color," he says." (no worries here. I knew this one. Red is way too out there for me. I love my bronzes, golds, and turquoise blue...yeeah baby!)

Pro secret: "The darker the complexion, the more you start to really see the jewel tone," says Arlt. To get rich, true color that won't transfer to lids, opt for waterproof pencils with medium softness. (now this is what I'm talking about - Remember the Kohl Eyeliner by L'Oreal Paris? Well, it doesn't say it's waterproof on the bottle but it appears to be and is the perfect eyeliner in my opinion. It could be a little softer though)

Brighten It and Bring It


Your skin can be one of your best features or one of your worst. The good news is whatever condition your skin is in, while you are working to improve your skin’s health, you can brighten it up and make it appear more radiant by the colors you wear on your top half.

It doesn’t matter if you have pale or dark skin; certain colors have the ability to bring out the beauty in your skin tone. Isn’t that wonderful? I know that I have yet to arrive at the “Your Skin is All That Baby” destination. However, while working towards the goal, there are changes than can be made to your wardrobe that will help you to look your best…for the moment!

Below are recommended colors that you can wear on your top half to reduce the appearance of blemishes and make your skin look more radiant:

Pale/Light Skin Tone: Wear bright clear colors like Orange/Red, Lavender, Deep Purple, Blues and Emerald Green.

Golden/Rosey Skin Tone: Wear earth toned colors such as browns, yellows (including yellowish greens), greens, pink, blue in all shades. Black is also acceptable for a slimming effect

Olive Brown Skin Tone: Pink and orange are your best colors. Aqua blue looks good on you as well

Dark Skin Tone: Wear colors like plum, ruby red, and forest green


Here’s to Fresh, Radiant Skin!

Work Towards it and Bring It
