Light's effect on makeup


-  Pink tends to gray the cool colors and intensify the warm ones. Yellow becomes more orange.
-  Flesh pink flatters most makeup.
-  Fire red ruins makeup. All but the darker flesh tones virtually disappear. Light and medium rouge fade into the foundation, whereas the dark red rouges turn a reddish brown. Yellow becomes orange, and the cool shading colors become shades of gray and black.
-  Bastard amber is flattering because it picks up the warm pinks and flesh tones in the makeup.
-  Amber and orange intensify and yellow most flesh colors. They turn rouges more orange. Cool colors are grayed.
-  Green grays all flesh tones and rouges in proportion to its intensity. Green will be intensified. Yellow and blue will become greener.
-  Light blue-green lowers the intensity of the base colors. One should generally use very little rouge under this type of light.
-  Green-blue washes out pale flesh tones, and will gray medium and deep flesh tones, as well as all reds.
-  Blues gray most flesh tones and cause them to appear more red or purple.
-  Violet causes orange, flame, and scarlet to become redder. Rouge appears more intense.
 Purple affects makeup like violet lighting, except reds and oranges will be even more intense, and most blues will look violet.
