So before we jump into this makeup look, I want to make sure that everyone knows about cool and warm toned products because I know many people reading this post are brand NEW to the makeup and beauty world. Here is a breakdown:
" If you take a look at the underside of your wrist and look at your veins and they appear more blue you have a cooler undertone. Cool colors consist of blue, pink, red and taupe. "
" If you take a look a the underside of your wrist and look at your veins and they appear more green than you have a warmer undertone. Warm colors consist of yellow, green, orange and gold. "
So as you can probably tell my challenge was to play around with warm tones on my skin and really push myself outside of my comfort zone. Let's start off with my flawless face base, which for some reason I was completely loving this day. Since I have a back stock of new products to try I did use the MAC Strobe Cream and Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit in Gleam, along with a few other new goodies. I also stuck to some of my favorite products which you are all probably getting tired of hearing about. Here is a full list of what I use for face products:

Also, DON'T forget to check out Jodi's post where she is sharing a beautiful cool-toned makeup look today and talking all about how she went about creating her look. While both of us jumped outside of our comfort zones I think we both were able to create beautiful looks and really focus on other products that we neglect in our collection!
Are you a girl who likes warm tones or cool tones?
Why do you like one over the other?

I'm the opposite and I prefer warm tones. But I'm trying to wear more cool tones now!
ReplyDeleteI've found A LOT of people love the warm-tones. I guess just for my fair skin and cool undertone I like cool-tones better. However, warm-tones are growing on me as I've been using them more since this look!
