Have you struggled finding makeup looks that look right for your unique features? Me too.
Your eye color and hair color play a big role in what makeup looks will look best on you.
Of course, there’s nothing wrong with trying new things, new colors, experimenting, but if you are looking for a daily, signature, go to look that fits your features perfectly, here is how….
Step 1: Go to google or Pinterest
Step 2: Search for girls with makeup looks that have your same features. “Makeup looks for *hair color* and *eye color* and *skin tone*”
My own example: Makeup looks for brown haired, blue eyed and pale skin
Step 3: Find someone with the makeup look and features that most resemble you.
Step 4: Take notes on what you see from the image and replicate it on your face. (Find my personal notes in the 4th slide)
Just wanted to make this post for anyone that struggled with finding a signature look based on their unique features! The internet is a great place to gain inspiration from cause you can search for YOUR particular features.
It’s all about you and your unique beautiful features that you were blessed with.
... Read moreFinding your truly unique makeup style can feel like a never-ending quest, right? I totally understand the frustration of seeing a beautiful look online, trying to recreate it, and realizing it just doesn't quite suit your features. For a long time, I felt like I was just following trends without really knowing what made me look my best. But I’ve learned a few things along the way, and I'm excited to share how you can pinpoint your ideal 'my type make up' without all the guesswork.
My journey to finding the right makeup look for me really kicked off when I stopped trying to copy exactly what everyone else was doing and started focusing on my own unique features. It’s not just about what's trendy; it's about what enhances *you*. I found that paying close attention to my hair color, eye color, and skin tone was a game-changer. For instance, if you have brown hair, blue eyes, and pale skin like I do, certain shades and techniques will just naturally look more harmonious. What I do is head to Google or Pinterest – and even YouTube these days! – and get really specific with my searches. Instead of just ‘makeup looks,’ I'll type in 'makeup looks for brown hair blue eyes pale skin' or 'best eyeshadow for green eyes and warm skin tone'. You'd be surprised how much targeted inspiration you can find.
Once I started searching, I'd look for people who not only shared my core features but also had a similar overall face shape or even a similar style vibe. It’s not about finding an exact replica of yourself, but someone whose makeup choices seem to complement their features in a way you admire. I take mental notes, or sometimes even screenshot, looks that catch my eye. I pay attention to the details: Are they using a bold black eyeliner or a softer brown? Is their blush a light pink lip and blush shade, or something more peachy? What kind of mascara are they wearing, and where is the light eyeshadow placed? I also found that details like inner corner highlights can make a huge difference in opening up the eyes, regardless of eye shape.
Then comes the fun part: replicating and refining. I don't try to recreate the entire look perfectly on the first try. Instead, I pick one or two elements – maybe just trying a different placement for my blush or experimenting with a new eyeshadow color I saw. Over time, I started building a collection of 'makeup notes' that worked for me. I learned that a subtle winged black eyeliner looks better on my eye shape than a thick one, and that a soft, light pink lip and blush really brightens my complexion. It’s all about experimenting with what you’ve learned and making it your own. Don't be afraid to adjust colors, intensity, and placement. Your signature look is a reflection of you, and it should make you feel confident and beautiful every single day.
