ALL’S FAIR

If your skin is porcelain – like celebrities Dakota Fanning and Diane Kruger – you may only require a light cover-up for minimal coverage. When choosing a bronzer or blusher, pick hues that are a shade darker than your natural skin-tone – pale pinks and peach palettes are perfect for fair skin. The smoky eye look – as seen on Kristen Stewart – works great against pale complexions and for a quick colour pick-me-up, opt for a deep red, plum or pretty pink lipstick.

DARK-SKINNED BEAUTIES

A darker skin tone means you can often get away without using any foundation at all. Instead, for a natural glow, opt for an illuminating moisturising cream, followed by a tinted moisturiser. It’s not essential to wear a bronzer or blusher, though if you are going to, choose either a fuchsia or burgundy hue that will highlight and accentuate your cheekbones. Bring out your big eyes with a sultry look and for the finishing touches pick a plum or merlot colour for your lips.

NATURAL GLOW

If you’re lucky enough to have an olive skin tone you don’t need to wear foundation. For any problem areas, such as dark, under-eye circles use a light touch of concealer. To emphasise your natural glow, sweep a coral, apricot or rose blush across your cheeks. Shimmery eye shadow hues in gold or pink are great for accentuating your eyes, while a coral lipstick will add a pop of colour to your lips.

WARM IT UP

If you have a warm skin tone then lucky you! For orange, bronze and honey hues, go for a yellow-based foundation. A coral or soft pink blush will complement the olive undertones in the skin, while following in Jessica Alba’s footsteps and opting for neutral eye shadow tones such as bronze, copper or taupe will exaggerate your eyes. Avoid pale lipsticks and instead go bold with a vibrant orange, red or apricot shade.

KEEP YOUR COOL

Cool-skinned beauties have a red skin undertone which means they’re lucky enough to choose from either a vibrant colour scheme or a pretty pastel palette. Add a hint of peach to your cheeks and use bright shades on your eyes, such as green hues, to make a statement. Set your lips a-blaze with a fire engine red, berry or raspberry shade.
