Makeup Shade Up Guide

Why You Need to Shade Up?

Adjusting your makeup shades according to the season is not known to many women. As the weather changes, so does your skin’s tone and texture, necessitating a shift in your makeup shades.

In summer, your skin tends to get warmer and more tanned due to increased sun exposure. This change requires you to shade up, opting for makeup shades that add warmth and dimension to your complexion. 

Seasonal adjustments help maintain harmony between your skin and makeup, ensuring you always look your best. Shading up in summer enhances your natural beauty, giving you a sun-kissed glow that complements the vibrant, sunny days.

Shade Lineup

Before making any adjustments, it’s crucial to know your undertones. Undertones are the subtle hues underneath your skin’s surface that affect your overall complexion. Here are the basic tips to shading up based on your undertone that goes for your main highlight and lip and cheek colors:

Warm undertones: Yellow, peachy, or golden hues.
Cool undertones: Pink, red, or blue hues.
Neutral undertones: A mix of warm and cool hues.
