Makeup under a blue dress
Many people believe that the color blue plays a special role in human life. Blue occupies one of the places of honor in the wardrobe of women who are prone to romance, tranquility and mysticism. At the same time, the attractiveness of a woman increases significantly if the blue outfit and makeup emphasize the natural harmony of her image.
Features of color combinations
Experts note that it is quite difficult to correctly use the possible combinations of shades of blue and the corresponding makeup. This is due to the specifics of the blue color itself: it differs both in the complexity of the color structure and in the versatility of the overflows of its shades.
The recommendations of stylists regarding the choice of a particular makeup option for a blue dress usually take into account the possible interaction of two factors - the characteristic features of the woman's appearance and the tone of the dress. Focusing on this, professionals identify several color types of female appearance, taking into account the specifics of which is the basis of successful makeup. These colors include:
- "summer";
- "autumn";
- "winter";
- "spring".
Light-skinned brown-eyed or blue-eyed women with blond hair are traditionally referred to as the "summer" color type. For women of this color type, blue turns out to be extremely advantageous: it provides a spectacular mystery of the blue of the eyes and sets off the freshness of the skin.
Women of this color type are recommended to brightly accentuate their eyes. A spectacular make-up under a blue dress also requires accuracy in choosing a range of decorative cosmetics. The foundation for the face should have a silver or porcelain tint and create a uniform color scheme with bluish-smoky shadows.
The "autumn" color type is controversial. It is typical for women who have brown or red hair, but have white freckled skin. Such a catchy appearance obliges you to choose a coldish make-up, which is also not alien to inconsistency.
It is achieved by the fact that the warm shades of foundation, blush and powder (from terracotta to reddish-brown) contrast with the delicate colors of the shadows. They can be light green, pale lilac or light beige. The final touch to the image created on the basis of the game of contrasting tones can be made by pale pink lipstick.
The “winter” color type is typical for white-skinned brunettes with light eyes. Their natural contrasting appearance should be emphasized by no less spectacular makeup, which is based on extremely contrasting colors - white and black.
The bright appearance of white-skinned brunettes receives an additional emphasis due to the play of blue and silver tones, which is achieved by skillfully combining the color of the dress with silvery tints of accessories and cold make-up tones.
The blue dress and shadows should not merge: you should beat the base blue color in different ways. Shadows of pale blue and lilac, gray and even purple flowers will look spectacular.
Stylists believe that women belonging to the “spring” color type have the richest choice when creating a new image. Typical "spring" women are "warm" blondes with light eyes that suit all shades of blue. At the same time, it is believed that “spring” blondes look most impressive in a blue or light blue outfit.
Blondes of the "spring" color type it is recommended to give preference to beige shades of foundation. The effect of special sophistication can be obtained by using an ivory foundation.
The advantage of women of this color type is the ability to use a wide range of shades of shadows: blue, pale lilac and light green shades look good with a blue dress. The coldness of the image created in this way can be shaded with light brown or beige lipstick.
Options for a brunette
A dark blue dress is considered the favorite outfit of many brunettes. An evening dress of this kind, a dress on the floor - it looks extremely impressive.
An evening blue dress requires careful attention to make-up: it is very important to ensure the most even shade of the face. To avoid the unhealthy pallor of the skin, which is often provoked by deep blue, the base for makeup should be chosen in a saturated color.
A blue dress is considered a win-win option for a brunette, as it looks luxurious on dark skin. To consolidate this effect, stylists advise emphasizing the predominance of darkish tones in the image in a variety of ways.
This task is quite easily solved not only with a dark foundation, but also with the help of applying pink blush, as well as emphasizing the eyes with black arrows. You can replace the standard black eyeliner with blue or brown, and choose scarlet lipstick.
Ideas for a blonde
There is an opinion that blue is ideal for blondes. Blondes in blue look irresistible, but this effect can be achieved if:
- correct the pale tone of the face;
- in the choice of shades of decorative cosmetics, give preference to warm, golden-pink shades;
- do not accentuate a blue-blue dress by repeating blue shades in various accessories;
- enhance the effect of blueness or piercing blue of the dress with discreet natural makeup.
It should also be borne in mind that the choice of a blue-blue dress for everyday wear involves the rejection of saturated tones. The moderation of the color schemes of the outfit should be supported by makeup that is equally restrained in color shades.
Examples for a brown-haired woman
The advantage of a blue dress for a brown-haired woman is largely due to the fact that the expressiveness of brown eyes, typical for women of this type, is most emphasized by a rich blue color. However, in this case, the selection of cosmetics for makeup should be based on the color of the woman's skin.
In practice, this means that dark-skinned brown-haired women should select cosmetics (shadows, pencils, etc.), giving preference to pistachio shades.
Light-skinned brown-haired women can create an irresistible look, skillfully using the play of copper shades.
Both light and swarthy brown-haired women can make a really flawless make-up, if the attractiveness of the eyes is correctly emphasized.To do this, you need to emphasize the openness of the look by applying suitable shadows to the corners of the eyes, as well as making the eyelashes visually thicker.
Options for red hair
Hair with a reddish or golden tint looks great in an ensemble with a pale blue dress. In general, the make-up should have a cold range: from lilac to various shades of green.
With red hair, makeup looks completely complete and harmonizes well with a blue dress only if blush is applied to the cheeks. In no case should blush look like a separate alien stain: they need to be shaded very carefully, leaving no traces.
When choosing blush, you need to rely on the shade of the blue dress. Light blue or light blue shades of the dress are perfectly set off by blush related to the natural palette.
What make-up is suitable for a dark blue dress?
The correct selection of a make-up for the chosen shade of a blue dress requires both specific knowledge and certain skills. For example, for a dark blue dress, you need to select additional dark and golden shades of shadows that will not merge with the main color of the outfit. The whole image should be a single color whole - with correctly placed accents.
To avoid gloom, the color of the dress is well balanced with bright makeup. To achieve this effect, stylists recommend using contrasting colors, while avoiding unwanted flashy effects, and playing sufficiently saturated colors on halftones.
In any case, it is necessary to use mother-of-pearl shadows of a light shade - to highlight the inner corners of the eyes, which will give expressiveness to the look.The effect of a deep blue dress can be enhanced by chocolate, gold and purple eye shadows.
Lips should not be painted very brightly. However, when choosing shades of pale tones, a dark blue dress will require an additional accent in the form of a bright lipstick: it can range from ripe raspberry to fuchsia.
Under the blue and white
When creating a suitable make-up for a blue and white dress, you should rely on the general rule of matching colors and tones. It lies in the fact that it is necessary to ensure the maximum possible color harmony of clothing and makeup: cool and warm shades should not be mixed.
Based on this rule, under a blue and white dress, you need to choose a discreet natural make-up, most effectively using the attractiveness of the color of your hair, eyes and skin. However, the calm color scheme of the outfit should not cause any association with fading, so the make-up should be done in warm natural shades.
Under black and blue
Under a black and blue dress, it is recommended to do makeup that has a refreshing effect - the ability to draw attention not only to the dress, but also to its owner. This can be achieved by adding a bright refreshing element to the makeup - either through the choice of lipstick, or with the help of shadows and eyeliner. If there is a black color in the outfit, you should enrich the make-up, typical of a rich blue color, with a contrasting red or scarlet color of lipstick. This will give the image a mysterious depth and solemnity.
Beneath the bright blue
This color is more suitable for red-haired women. This is due to the fact that the piercing blue is able to balance the overly conspicuous redhead.
To create a harmonious look, the contrasting combination of bright blue and fiery red must be balanced with additional splashes of color - for example, use bright saturated blush to help balance the contrasting base colors.
For blue green
A blue-green dress is the perfect choice for a brown-haired woman, especially if she is the owner of green eyes. In this case, the irresistibility of green eyes and the shade of the outfit will help to emphasize the make-up based on the play of colors: the combination of green eyes and a blue-green dress is well accentuated by the contrasting color of the shadows.
If you focus on this color pattern, it can be noted that makeup using a purple palette is suitable for a blue-green dress, which provides a smooth transition of three colors: pale pink, purple and dark gray.
For a blue-green outfit, a darker make-up palette is also quite acceptable. A prerequisite for success in this case will be compliance with the natural compatibility of skin tone with eye makeup.
Step by step application guide
Makeup in an ensemble with one or another shade of blue dress has a number of features. Before applying it, three points must be clearly defined:

To achieve the desired effect, a number of factors should be taken into account: the features of your appearance, age, the nature of the situation for which you create this image, the patterns of compatibility of the selected blue shade of the dress with natural skin tone and makeup, the ability of hairstyles to emphasize your attractiveness.
