The past couple of days we have been learning a lot about color theory in school. It really helps to know the color wheel when dealing with correcting features, or making them stand out on a face.
When dealing with concealing, you always want to cover the problem area with its complementary color. For example, if you are trying to cover up a blemish on your face, you will want to use a concealer that has some green in it. This is because green is complementary to red. The colors are across from each other on the color wheel.
When trying to emphasize a color, you put two complementary colors next to each other. For example, if you are trying to make blue eyes pop, you would use a coppery-bronze color eye shadow. This is because copper has an orange color to it, and orange is blue's complementary color.
Here are some complementary colors:
Yellow & Violet
Blue & Orange
Red & Green
I'm absolutely loving school, and what I'm learning. I'll post Wednesday!
