#PINNED: Time to pick the right makeup for your face and personality

#Pinned makes it easier for young Filipinos to discover meaningful and enriching content and stories that will help them separate music from the noise, wheat from the chaff, and flowers from the weeds.

All our stories are written by young creatives who made it their life mission to know everything there is to know about how fellow young adults can make the most out of their limited downtime every day, every week.

Do you find it hard to choose the right makeup shade? Girls, don't fight back against your personality and natural undertones. Embrace it, unleash your inner Beyonce, and prepare to run the world!

Determine your skin tone first, as well as your style, before buying any face product. Then, consider these makeup shades for different types of skin to reflect who you really are.

1. Master the “no-makeup” look. Beauty is skin deep because flawless "no-makeup" makeup begins with good and healthy skin. Any painting starts with a fine blank canvas, and the secret to a radiantly dewy and barely-there look starts with moisturized and clear skin.

- Achieve this by using a hydrating primer for dry skin.
- Choose a base and concealer that is spot on to your skin-like color.
- Use a highlighter for that glowing effect and finish off with light blush and nude lips.

2. Be pretty in strawberry pink. The rosy hues are having a major empowering moment as ladies wear this refreshing shade all over their faces. The pink makeup line from strawberry eyeliners to muted blush can strike the perfect reflection of a sweet lady with a hint of subtle fierceness. The light color adds a statement of calmness to the face while keeping one’s tired-looking eyes and cheeks feeling refreshed. From applying pink makeup on eyes, lips, and cheeks for a cool monochrome look, you’ll never run out of ways to show your love for pink with various trends to wear this dreamy shade.

3. Go for timeless red lips. Deep red lippies are definitely a classic, but what makeup and blush to match with them? If elegance is your game, avoid striking palettes to your eyes and cheeks to let your lips speak for it. While most artistic makeup application uses colorful smoky shadows with red lipstick to create a head-turner look, an elegant al-fresco date night requires a balance between sexy ruby red lips and subtle makeup shade.

4. Push ‘ya love for fuschia and glitters. Why go neutral if you can be loud and proud with a super pink tone that's more glistening than your natural lip color? Use this makeup shade to steal the show and amaze your besties and officemates on your next Zoom sesh. Surely, a flash of shimmering pink in an eyeshadow will catch anyone's attention, especially when you blend a glittery hot pink into your eyes that screams, “This is it, girl!”

5. Repair and maintain your crown, too. Haircare is also a significant daily beauty routine for men and women. Bright hair colors can reflect uniqueness, healthy locks leave a lasting impression on others, while unkempt hair may be an early sign of one’s state of health. Smooth, bouncy, and manageable hair does not come without effort. It depends on one’s lifestyle and the nourishment you give to your crowning glory using the right products that care for your straight, curly, or wavy hair.
