Tips to match your Makeup and Accessories

3 Simple Ways to Match Your Makeup & Accessories

Tips to feel more confident in your outfit

Makeup and accessories bring the finishing touches to your outfit.  With a huge variety of jewelry to choose from and makeup styles to use, finding your perfect combo is the goal!

When choosing your accessories and makeup, there are a few things to consider when creating a be-YOU-tiful look.

·         Complement :  Wearing colors that complement each other is pleasing to the eye and easy to achieve.  For example, if you want to complement your favorite necklace, apply makeup that will not clash with the color of the necklace. Complementing makeup with accessories is suitable for everyday looks, whether you go to work, school or a party.  When looking at the color wheel, the complimentary color is the one directly across from the main color.  For a more subtle look, choose one of the colors next to the complimentary color.

·         Match:  Wearing makeup and accessories of the same color, helps to emphasize the accessory.  For example, if you want to show off your cute red earrings, pairing it with a red lipstick can bring focus to your earrings.

·         Clash: Sometimes you just want to stand out a bit; you want to show off a creative look.  The easiest way is to clash the colors of your accessories with your eye makeup.  That way you get to show off your dazzling eyes and your accessories too!

Once you feel comfortable at matching your makeup and your jewelry, you will feel more confident and turn more heads!  Thankfully Paparazzi’s $5 price tag, allows you to have more accessories in your jewelry box, to play around with!  Isn’t jewelry fun?!?!

Color trends for Fall

Color trends for the Fall I love the changing colors of Fall... both outdoors in the beautiful Pacific Northwest - as well as indoors in the cute fashions that I see. Pantone, the global authority on color, has made their predictions about the Fall colors coming out in 2013.  I love the richness of these! Green seems to be the front runner.   From deep mossy greens to a yellow-based Linden green.  They are also predicting Emerald, Acai purple, Mykonos blue, Samba red and Vivicious pink. Gorgeous, right?!?!  I'm excited to see all these colors walking down the street this year!  Plus, excited that these colors are ALREADY showing themselves in Paparazzi's Fall line!

What colors look best on your skin's undertone

Learn what jewelry colors look best with your skin's undertone!Learning whether you are a cool or a warm can help you learn what colors look best on you!  


We all know that some colors look better on us then others.  Do you know which ones?


There is a simple 'test' you can take to figure out your skin's undertone.  Look at the veins in your forearms while in the sunlight.  If your veins are blue or purple, you have cool undertones.  If your veins are yellow or olive green, you have warm undertones.  If your veins are both blue and green, you have neutral undertones.

Now that you know which undertone your skin has, below is a list of colors that look best with each type!

COOL UNDERTONES
Those with cool undertones look best in richer colors from the "cool" side of the color wheel.  Blues, purples, greens and gray are most flattering.

WARM UNDERTONES

Those with warm undertones look best in earthier colors.  Reds, oranges, yellows and browns are most complimentary.


NEUTRAL UNDERTONES
Thankfully black doesn't have a preference for undertones.  All skin types look GREAT in black!  If you have neutral undertones, count yourself as super blessed and enjoy every color of the rainbow!



But of course.... rules were meant to be broken!

No matter your skin tone, if you find a jewelry piece you love, then by all means, wear it with pride!  That's one of the amazing joys of Paparazzi.  For only $5, you can have fun, try new things and see what really makes you feel beYOUtiful!
