A turquoise dress is a powerful positive accent in any girl's appearance. Choosing it for a party or as a dominant color at a wedding, many people face the problem of how to do makeup for a turquoise dress. They think about it for good reason: the expressiveness of the sky-blue green sometimes catches the eye, makes everything around, even the face, less noticeable. How to avoid this? How not to get lost in the "bottomless element of your own dress"?
General rules and fashion trends
The coldness of turquoise will be especially noticeable on girls with a fair complexion. They should be especially careful when choosing such a dress, adding brightness to the eyes and lips with makeup.
Brunettes and tanned girls can opt for natural makeup colors. And turquoise will simply shade contrasting features of the appearance.
If you decide to do makeup for a turquoise dress, you need to focus on the eyes. They need to be made expressive and attractive. In fairness, it should be noted that turquoise is friendly with both cold and warm shades. Therefore, choosing the color of the eyeshadow is not difficult. The main thing is to take into account the individual characteristics of the eyes, their color, skin tone, hair.
The general rules for choosing makeup for a turquoise dress are:
- It should complement, continue the dress, but not compete with it;
- There is no need to fill the entire free surface of the eyelid with it; the shade is created by shading some areas and highlighting others;
- Evening makeup (for example, makeup for graduation) is advantageously complemented by the use of silver and gold shades;
- Don't get carried away with black, dark gray, especially in the form of thick lines. The face can become rough and uninhibited;
- If you choose purple shades, you need flawless skin. Otherwise, you can't avoid dark circles under your eyes;
- Be careful with green. Green-eyed ladies can use it carefree, but only with certain shades of turquoise on the dress;
- Blue shadows should contain at least three shades that are smoothly shaded between adjacent zones;
- Pink with turquoise is an innocent expression of youth, tenderness, and trust.
Fashionable views on makeup with a turquoise dress today are ambiguous. They allow a nude style, with maximum use of calm, muted tones, for which bright turquoise on the dress is a favorable accent.
For evening wear, make-up includes shiny sparkling shadows. Wine, plum and violet shades of lipstick are allowed in such make-up. Lovers of red-carrot color will also find themselves. For "evening turquoise" - this is quite acceptable.
What shadows are ideal
Ideal trends dictate the use of the following combinations with a turquoise dress:
- Dark emerald, gray, ivory;
- Bright bronze, coffee with milk color, ivory.
You can't do without black eyeliner, which makes your look expressive and attractive.A light texture will suit the ear, and the blush should be natural and not bright. But these are general approaches. Let's try to detail them depending on the eye color.
Option depending on eye color
It is a strong misconception to choose makeup only to match the color of clothes. After all, there is also the color of the eyes - a characteristic that nature gives to every girl. It softly encodes the character, habits, way of thinking. It is considered as a criterion for choosing the shade of the eyelids.
For brown
Girls with brown eyes often choose shades of turquoise in their clothes. It highlights their expressiveness, masks individual facial features, and emphasizes others.
Brown shades of eyeshadow are ideal for brown-eyed women. It is important that they do not have a reddish component. Apply them to the upper eyelid, leaving the inner corner free, which is filled with white. The outer corner is a smooth transition from brown to soft purple (or gray), which is shaded upwards to the outer corner of the eyebrows.
What is the connection with the turquoise splendor of the dress? - In the lower arrow, which is made in three colors: white (inner corner), turquoise (center), brown-violet or brown-gray.
The accent here is white with turquoise, and the brown range with purple is the background that shades the blue, simultaneously correcting the shape and size of the eyes. Blush for such makeup for a turquoise dress is barely noticeable peach, matte. Lips - natural or caramel gloss with a contour pencil of the same color.
Greens
When wearing a dress in shades of blue and green with eyes of the same color range, you might assume that makeup for a turquoise dress practically flows out on its own. However, it’s not that simple. The shade of green eyes can be so contrary to the classic turquoise color that it will ruin the created harmony. We compensate with shadows of different colors. Which one will suit? We choose emerald green and gray. We use the first for a thick arrow along both edges of the eyelids (usually simultaneously with a thin black one). We carefully shade the free upper edge and the outer corner upward with a smooth transition to gray, especially intense on the outside.
A light stripe will support the makeup accent under the eyebrow for a turquoise dress. Eyelashes are light, slightly extended at the outer corner. It is interesting that such a choice of shades does not greatly limit the color of lipstick. You can safely use pearl coral, pink, even orange (only in this case, a stripe of the same shade can be passed along the upper eyelid).
Violet-turquoise composition is also acceptable for bright evening makeup. A thick blue-green stripe is drawn along the lower eyelid, extending 2-3 mm beyond its edges at the outer corner (continuing the chosen direction). However, there is no such shade on the upper eyelid at all. Violet dominates here, softly turning into white at the top. Black arrows are not needed here, but the eyelashes should be spectacular.
Blue
A turquoise dress naturally echoes blue eyes. However, you also need to know how to emphasize this harmony. On the one hand, what is easier, take blue shadows, shade their light shade on the upper eyelid, and the dark one - slightly thickening towards the outer edge? Brighter - along the lower eyelid. Also here - a black arrow, a thread at the inner corner, thicker - towards the outer one. A kind of takeoff of eyelashes into the blue heights of the sky.
The second option is an evening "smoky eyes" in combination with a "cat's eye". This is for an evening formal make-up. Bright, catchy, shocking. Brown-beige, gray with a brown tint, as well as white with mother-of-pearl shadows are used. A mandatory addition to the make-up for a turquoise dress is the corresponding chic mascara, peach (but not pink) blush, coral voluminous lips.
Gray
Gray eyes - most harmoniously combined with makeup in blue and green tones. Another thing is that there are many shades of gray eyes, each of them has its own characteristics. Therefore, when choosing makeup for a turquoise dress, it is worth trying to combine the fashionable trend of blue-black arrows, blue shades on the upper eyelid, pastel colors on the lips.
The selected colors are applied in the classic way: the lower arrow and the inner part of the upper one are thin, thickening towards the outer corner and ending in a sharp angle. Blue shadows are applied to the free upper eyelid, not extending beyond the eye. They transition upward and to the outer edge into restrained dark tones, which also end at the outer corner of the lower eyelid.
In evening makeup, glitter and light shine are harmonious. Lighter tones (almost white) are allowed on the inner corner of the eye, under the eyebrow, in the middle part above the upper eyelid. The makeup perfectly shades the turquoise dress and makes the eyes expressive. This is harmony, the author of which is nature itself.
