Who is the color makeup indicated for?

According to Raphaella Bahia and Bruno Moura, colorful makeup can be worn by all women.

Colorful lipstick and shadow: yes or no?

In the opinion of makeup artist Raphaella Bahia, the ideal is, when the mouth is colored, the shadow is not so colorful. "But you can, for example, combine an orange lipstick with a pink eyeshadow," he says. For Alberto Pinheiro, in this case, the tip is to bet on nude or light pink lipsticks.

What is the most appropriate blush to accompany a colorful makeup?

According to makeup artist Alberto Pinheiro, blush has to match the skin color of the person. • If you are a light woman, use light pink or peach; should dark women choose brown or tan ?, he says. In the opinion of makeup artist Raphaella, it is important even if the blush chosen is dull, "not to draw too much attention".

Shadow Duo

For women who love combining two or more eyeshadow colors in the same makeup, the pros give some matching tips.

"Green and pink, blue and silver, brown and gold, black and gray, orange and pink are good combinations," says Raphaella Bahia. Alberto Pinheiro also mentions: purple with lilac, dark green with light green, blue with lilac, blue with pink.

Bruno Moura adds that white matches any other color, and the same goes for black. Gray, brown, lead and silver are classic. Green matches pink, blue, yellow and gold. Rose in summer can match everything too ?, says the makeup artist.

What clothes can I wear full color with?
