Why it's Important to Wear the
Makeup Colors That Most Flatter You

Most all women want to wear makeup that looks great on them — the trouble is that most women don't know what colors keep their skin looking radiant and they often use colors that actually gray or muddy their skin tone!

The shade of your colors (for example lip and blush colors in plum, fuchsia, raspberry, red, red-coral, to coral and pinky oranges) is critical but it's also equally important to get the "clarity" (brightness) of your lip and blush colors perfect for you. If you don't know which shades and clarity are best for you find out now!

ALWAYS create a makeup look for yourself that compliments YOUR coloring, using your best shades in your best clarity (brightness). No matter what is "in" fashion, stay true to your coloring if you want to look, fresh, vibrant and younger.
