Be smart with pink make-up

Yes, we agree that pink is the colour for this season of love, but remember that even this colour can make you look like a Barbie doll on a bad day. While the thumb rule is that if you use this shade for any one kind of make-up don't repeat it, and yes, pick a colour that matches your skin tone. Here are some useful tips:

* Lighter shades suit those with a cool skin tone while those with a warm skin tone should use deeper shades.
* For the eyes, use a neutral base and just a swipe of pink else, it will make your eyes look swollen.
* What you choose as a lip colour depends heavily on your skin tone too, so those with fair skin can stick to pinks, peaches and mauves. Those with duskier skin can use pink in combination with a gold or a berry shade.
* Applying a pink blush is the trickiest thing, just swipe the colours on the apples of your cheeks to give that healthy look. If you try contouring, you could end up looking bruised.
